Pest Control Parkdale
Safer and Greener Pest SolutionsOur team provides pest control in Parkdale, with advice on the best treatment and what to expect from your visit.
Pest Control for Your Parkdale Home
Hearing scratching in the roof? Finding ants in the kitchen?
Or are cobwebs appearing along the cornices?
Tell us what you have noticed and where in the home and the SOS Pest Control team will identify what you are dealing with, treat it, and we can suggest ways to pest proof your home to keep returning pests to a minimum.
Our general pest control treatments treat most of the creepy crawlies that enter homes: webbing spiders, moths, cockroaches and silverfish.
If there are large numbers of particular pests we can do targeted treatments for these as well. You can see our pricing page for what a treatment costs.
What Can We Help With in Parkdale?
Rodents
Scratching overhead, droppings or chewed packaging? We bait and trap the rats you have got, then find the gap they came in through and shut it.
Spiders
Webs around the windows and eaves? Or a white tail crossing the floor at night? We treat the outside of the house so they stop getting in.
Ants
Ants back in the kitchen again? Tell us where you are seeing them. We bait the trail so they carry it home, and the nest goes with it.
Carpet Beetles
Damage to wool rugs, carpet edges or stored clothing? We treat the carpet, the edges and the trims where the larvae feed and the eggs are laid.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches in the kitchen or bathroom? We gel bait German cockroaches and treat garden species through the kitchen, bathroom and wall voids.
Wasps
European wasp nest in the eaves, the roof or a wall cavity? Do not go near it. We find the nest and destroy it.
Possums
Noises in the roof are not always rodents. We get the possum out of your roof and seal the way it got in.
Mice
Mice get through gaps you would not look at twice. We bait indoors to the current rules and seal the gaps they are using.
Where We Look For Pests In A Parkdale Home
With 23 years of pest control in Melbourne's bayside suburbs, we know where the pest treatment hot spots are in Parkdale and how to approach your home or business with the right pest solutions.
For older homes, the weatherboards, the red clinker brick and the Californian bungalows, they are usually up on stumps with a subfloor underneath. This is a main area that must be inspected. Rats and mice get under a stumped house easily, travel the whole footprint without ever being seen, and come up through the gaps around pipework into the kitchen.
Cockroaches and spiders are also well protected in a warm and moist environment under your home.
The bayside areas also deal with a lot of webbing spiders, the breeze carries them far and wide and they set up home along window frames, around doorways and in pergolas. No one likes copping a face full of cobwebs.
Newer townhouses and apartments sit on a slab, so there is no subfloor at all and we are checking different things: around the doors and vents, the weep holes, and the gaps where services run through.
In the two storey blocks of six or eight units, shared walls mean one flat's problem rarely stays in that flat. German cockroaches especially move between units through wall voids and shared plumbing. If your neighbours are seeing the same thing, tell us, because it changes what we recommend.

Parkdale Pest Control FAQs
Do you provide pest control throughout Parkdale?
All of Parkdale, and we are just up the road in Braeside. Give us your address when you book so we know what we are coming to and can sort out access.
Why do white tail spiders keep getting inside?
They come in hunting. No web, no warning, just one crossing the floor at eleven at night. What they are after is the spiders living on your eaves and window frames, so we treat the outside and they stop coming in. More on our spider control page.
Can you help if I do not know which pest I have?
Yes, and most people do not know. Tell us what you have seen or heard, where it is happening and when it started. Working that out is what we are there for.
Do I need to leave the house during the treatment?
For an internal treatment, yes. The house needs to be empty for four hours afterwards, so it is worth planning that before we arrive. If you are having the outside done only, you do not need to go anywhere.
What should I tell you about children and pets?
Tell us who is at home before we arrive, including anything in a tank or an enclosure. Our treatments are safe around your family and your pets and deadly to the pests. Because an internal treatment means four hours out of the house, a lot of families with young children or pets have the outside done instead and stay put.
How often should I arrange pest control?
A lot of our regulars book every six months and then never think about it again. Others do it once a year heading into the warmer months. It depends on the place, the pest and how you live in it.
Can you treat a unit or apartment?
Yes. Tell us whether the problem is inside your home or in a shared area. German cockroaches in particular move between units through wall voids and shared plumbing, so if the neighbours are seeing the same thing, say so. It changes what we recommend.
What if I am still seeing pests after treatment?
For the first week or two that is the treatment working, not failing. What you are seeing is activity being disturbed. If it is still going after that, ring us, because we would rather know.
