Common Pests in Reservoir
Reservoir is one of Melbourne's largest suburbs, full of post-war brick and weatherboard homes on generous blocks near Edwardes Lake and the Merri Creek. The lake reserve and creek draw rats, wasps and mosquitoes into surrounding gardens, while mature street trees give possums easy roof access.
Older subfloors and timber stumps keep termite and spider activity steady year round.
Termites
Reservoir's older brick and weatherboard homes have timber stumps and subfloors that termites target, helped by moisture from nearby creeks.
Termite Inspection →
Rodents
Edwardes Lake and the Merri Creek give rats water and cover before they move into Reservoir sheds, subfloors and roof voids.
Rats, Mice and Rodent Control →
Possums
Mature street trees and big backyards let possums reach rooflines and settle in the ceiling cavities of Reservoir's single-storey homes.

Spiders
Large gardens, sheds and brick eaves across the suburb give redback and black house spiders plenty of sheltered nesting spots.

Wasps

Reservoir Pest Control FAQs
Why are wasps nesting around my Reservoir backyard?+
European wasps forage from Edwardes Lake Reserve and creek edges, then build nests in eaves, sheds and wall cavities near food and water. We locate and remove the nest safely rather than just spraying. Call +61 459 372 796 for a same-day wasp removal.
Reservoir is a big suburb, do you cover all of it?+
Yes, we work right across Reservoir, from streets near Edwardes Lake to homes bordering Bundoora and Thomastown. Being local, we usually offer same-day or next-day appointments and tailor each job to the home, whether it is an old weatherboard or a newer build.
How do I know if possums are in my roof?+
Heavy thumping at dusk and dawn, scratching in the ceiling and droppings in the roof void are the usual signs. Reservoir's tall street trees give them easy access. We find the entry, remove the possum humanely and seal the roof so they cannot return.
