Common Pests in Northcote
Northcote's rows of Victorian terraces share walls and subfloors, so rodents and cockroaches move easily between neighbouring homes. The busy High Street and Westgarth cafe strips give rats and roaches steady food around bins and kitchens, while the Merri Creek and All Nations Park corridor brings ants, spiders and possums into surrounding streets and backyards.
Rodents
Northcote's shared terrace walls and the High Street food strip let rats and mice travel unseen between homes and cafes, nesting in subfloors and roofs.

Cockroaches
Warm cafe kitchens and closely packed terraces along High Street give German cockroaches ideal conditions to spread between adjoining properties.

Ants
The Merri Creek corridor and old paved courtyards send black house and pavement ants trailing into Northcote kitchens through the warmer months.

Possums
Mature street trees and All Nations Park keep brushtail possums nesting in the roof cavities of Northcote's older terraces and units.

Northcote Pest Control FAQs
Why do rats spread so easily between Northcote terraces?+
Terraces share walls, roof voids and subfloors, so rats can move from one home to the next without going outside. Treating just your property often isn't enough. We assess the whole run where we can. Call +61 459 372 796 for help.
Do you provide pest control for High Street cafes and restaurants?+
Yes. We service Northcote hospitality venues with discreet, scheduled treatments for cockroaches, rodents and flies, plus documentation for food safety records. We work outside trading hours where needed. Phone +61 459 372 796 to set up a commercial plan.
Can you get possums out of my Northcote terrace roof?+
We can. Brushtails love the old roof cavities in Northcote's terraces. We remove them humanely, seal their entry points and fit one-way doors so they can't return. We'll check the whole roofline, as terraces often have several gaps.
