Common Pests in Burwood
Burwood mixes established family homes with a growing number of student rentals and units near Deakin University and the Burwood Highway tram line. That density brings steady cockroach and rodent work in shared kitchens and older flats.
Gardiners Creek runs along the suburb's edge, pushing rats and spiders into nearby yards, while long-standing brick homes see regular ant and termite activity.
Cockroaches
Student rentals and older units near Deakin University often share wall cavities and plumbing, letting German cockroaches spread quickly between kitchens and bathrooms.
Cockroach Control →
Rodents
Rats and mice move from Gardiners Creek and the busy Burwood Highway shops into roof voids and subfloors, particularly in older multi-tenant properties.
Rats, Mice and Rodent Control →
Ants
Established gardens and cracked paths let black house ants and coastal brown ants trail indoors, especially through kitchens during the warmer months.
Ant Control →
Spiders
Gardiners Creek reserve and shaded gardens suit redbacks and webbing spiders, which gather around fences, carports and the eaves of older homes.
Spider Control →
Termites
Long-standing brick-veneer homes with mature gardens give termites hidden paths into timber framing, so regular inspections matter across the older parts of Burwood.

Burwood Pest Control FAQs
Do student rentals near Deakin University get more cockroaches?+
Often, yes. Shared kitchens, older plumbing and connected units near Deakin let German cockroaches spread fast between rooms. We treat the whole building where needed and advise tenants and landlords. Call +61 459 372 796 to arrange a visit.
Can you handle pest control for a Burwood rental property?+
Yes. We work with landlords, agents and tenants across Burwood for cockroaches, rodents and general pests. We provide clear written reports for your records and can schedule work between tenancies. Same-day appointments are usually available when an urgent job comes up.
Are rats a problem near Gardiners Creek in Burwood?+
They can be. Gardiners Creek gives rats water, shelter and a path into nearby streets, so homes backing the reserve see more activity. We bait, trap and seal entry points, then check subfloors and roof voids for nests.
