About ant control
Supermarket sprays kill the ants you can see and scatter the colony, which often makes infestations worse. Professionals identify the species first, because coastal brown ants, black house ants and Argentine ants respond to different baits. Expect a treatment to take a week or two to collapse the nest as workers carry bait back to the queen.
Getting quotes in Melton
Before booking a pest controller for ant control, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for ant control is flexible, include that in the Melton request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
Can I do pest control myself?+
Surface sprays and DIY baits can knock down light ant or cockroach activity, but they cannot legally or practically handle termites, wasp nests in cavities, or rodent proofing done properly. If a problem persists after two DIY attempts, a professional treatment usually works out cheaper than continuing to buy retail products.
How much does pest control cost?+
A general internal and external pest treatment for a standard home typically runs $150 to $350. Termite inspections are usually $250 to $400, and termite barrier or baiting systems run into the thousands depending on the home's perimeter. End-of-lease flea treatments are often around $100 to $200.
Do pest controllers need a licence?+
Yes. Every state licenses pest management technicians, and termite work has additional requirements. Ask for the licence number and check it covers the treatment being quoted, especially for termite chemical barriers where warranties depend on accredited installation.
