Common Pests in Templestowe
Templestowe is known for big blocks, mature gardens and homes that back onto the Yarra River and Westerfolds Park. That bushland setting brings steady termite activity, plus possums and rats moving in from the reserves along Finns Reserve and the river flats.
Older brick and weatherboard homes with established trees see regular spider and wasp problems around eaves, decks and garden sheds.
Termites
Homes along the Yarra River and Westerfolds Park sit near damp soil and heavy timber, giving termites ideal conditions to reach subfloors and fences unnoticed.

Possums
Large gum trees and semi-rural blocks make Templestowe prime possum territory, and they often nest in roof cavities of the suburb's older tiled homes.
Possum Removal/Control →
Rodents
Rats travel from the river flats and reserves into sheds, subfloors and roof voids, particularly on the larger properties with fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

Wasps
Warm gardens, pergolas and eaves around Templestowe Village attract European wasps and paper wasps that build nests close to outdoor living areas each summer.

Spiders
Bushy gardens and stacked woodpiles suit redbacks and huntsman spiders, which shelter in sheds, retaining walls and the shaded corners of larger blocks.

Templestowe Pest Control FAQs
Why are termites common on Templestowe's larger blocks?+
Templestowe's big gardens, mature trees and proximity to the Yarra River keep soil damp and timber plentiful, which termites love. We recommend a full inspection every year. Book a local technician on +61 459 372 796.
Can you remove possums from a Templestowe roof legally?+
Yes. Possums are protected in Victoria, so we remove them humanely, release them as the rules require, then seal every entry point on your roof. With so many gum trees here, proofing is the key to stopping them returning.
Do you treat European wasp nests in Templestowe gardens?+
We do. European wasps build large nests in garden beds, walls and roof spaces across Templestowe over summer. We treat the nest directly and safely, then remove it where possible. Call +61 459 372 796 for same-day help.
