Common Pests in Highett
Highett is a mix of post-war brick homes, new townhouse developments and light industrial pockets, with the Highett Grassy Woodland reserve on its edge. The older homes hold aged timber that keeps termites active, while ongoing building and demolition work disturbs rats and mice and sends them into surrounding streets.
The bushland reserve and mature gardens also bring possums into roof spaces, and warm weather stirs up ants and spiders around the Highett Road shops.
Termites
Highett's post-war brick and weatherboard homes have plenty of aged stumps and framing, and settled soil moisture keeps subterranean termites feeding quietly out of sight.
Termite Inspection →
Rodents
Constant redevelopment, older subfloors and the nearby reserve give rats and mice cover, so they shift into Highett homes and townhouses looking for food and shelter.
Rats, Mice and Rodent Control →
Possums
The Highett Grassy Woodland and mature street trees give possums easy access into older roofs, where their noise and droppings soon become a real nuisance.

Ants
Warm paving, garden beds and paths around Highett's homes and the shopping strip draw ants indoors chasing food through the warmer months.

Spiders
Fence lines, eaves and subfloors across Highett's older homes give webbing and ground spiders sheltered spots, so they build up quickly heading into summer.

Highett Pest Control FAQs
Does building work in Highett make rodent problems worse?+
It often does. Demolition and construction across Highett disturb nests and cut off food, pushing rats and mice into nearby homes. We seal entry points and set a baiting plan. Call +61 459 372 796 if activity has picked up on your street.
Are Highett's post-war homes at risk of termites?+
Yes. Many Highett homes date from the post-war era, with aged stumps and framing that termites target, plus soil that holds moisture. A yearly termite inspection is the best way to catch activity early and avoid costly structural repairs.
Can you get possums out of my Highett roof?+
We can. Possums from the grassy woodland and local trees often move into older ceilings. We trap and relocate them humanely under the regulations, then seal the entry points so they cannot get back in and disturb your household.
