Seasonal Pest Control Tips In Melbourne

Melbourne is a city of changing seasons, each bringing its own unique charm. However, with the change in weather, come different pests seeking shelter and sustenance. It’s essential to be proactive and adapt your pest control strategies accordingly. In this blog, we’ll provide you with valuable tips on how to prepare your home for Melbourne’s various seasons and the pests that often accompany them.


Spring – The Awakening of Pests


With the arrival of spring, pests become more active as they seek shelter and food. Here’s how to prepare your home and keep pests at bay:


  • Seal any cracks or crevices in your home’s foundation to prevent pests from entering.
  • Trim back branches and foliage near your home, as pests often use these as pathways.
  • Maintain secure lids on your garbage bins to discourage scavenging pests.

Crawlers and Flyers


As the temperature rises during spring, you’ll notice an increase in crawling and flying insects like ants, bees, wasps, spiders, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. To prevent infestations:


  • Install window screens to enjoy fresh air while keeping mosquitoes out.
  • Keep your kitchen clean and store food in airtight containers to deter cockroaches.
  • Regularly clean up debris in your garden to reduce spider hiding spots.

Termite Control Melbourne


While termites are active year-round, spring is when they become more active and visible. Protect your home with:


  • Regular termite inspections to detect infestations early.
  • Maintain proper ventilation and avoid wood-to-ground contact around your property.
  • Consult experts like M&R Termite Solutions for professional termite treatment services.
