Why do Thornbury homes get so many pests?

Thornbury’s housing does most of the work for pests. The suburb is full of Edwardian weatherboards, older brick homes and California bungalows, and their roof voids, wall cavities and subfloors are exactly where rats, mice and possums want to live. Add Merri Creek on one side and Darebin Creek on the other — green corridors that keep rodent numbers up all year — plus the High Street food strip, and you have a suburb where pest pressure never really switches off. Renovations shift pests around too: when one house on a street gets opened up, the neighbours often start hearing noises in the roof.

Which pests are most common in Thornbury?

• Rats and mice — the number one call-out in older suburbs like Thornbury. They move in through gaps in the roofline, under floors and along fence lines. See our rat and mouse control page for how we treat them. If something has already died in a wall or roof space, we also do dead animal removal.
• Possums — common in Thornbury roofs, and protected wildlife in Victoria, so removal has to be done legally through exclusion, never baiting. See possum removal.
• Cockroaches — older kitchens, shared walls and food businesses all suit them. See cockroach control.
• Ants, spiders and wasps — seasonal spikes through spring and summer, especially in established gardens.

Hearing scratching in the roof at night?

In Thornbury it’s almost always a rat or a possum — and the fix is completely different for each, because possums are protected. The timing and weight of the noise usually gives it away. We’ve written a plain-English guide: scratching noises in the roof at night — rat, mouse or possum? Or just call and describe the sound — our techs can usually pick it over the phone.

Run a cafe or restaurant on High Street?

Food businesses can’t afford a pest problem — or a failed inspection. We run commercial pest programs for restaurants and cafes with treatments scheduled around your service and reporting that stands up when an inspector or auditor visits.

Moving out of a Thornbury rental?

If you’ve had pets at the property, an end-of-lease flea treatment with a receipt to hand your property manager is the simplest way to protect your bond at the final inspection.
