Melbourne's Most Thorough Pest Treatment. Every Job. Every Time.
Professional treatment for every common Melbourne pest identified correctly, treated with the right protocol, backed by a 1-month callback guarantee.
Different pests need completely different treatments. What works on cockroaches makes ants worse. What works on Australian cockroaches does nothing to German cockroaches. Spraying termites makes them harder to find. We identify first. We treat second. Every time.

Walk into any hardware store and you'll find sprays that claim to kill everything. They don't. German cockroaches scatter and spread when sprayed, the right treatment is gel baiting. Rodent bait stations from supermarkets no longer contain the active ingredients needed to eliminate an established population, that access was restricted in March 2026 to licensed operators only. Termites abandon disturbed zones and relocate deeper into your home if treated incorrectly.Pest control that works starts with identification. That's why every Cimex job begins with an inspection before we open a single product.
Every Pest We Treat

🦟 General Pest Treatment Melbourne's most common pests don't come one at a time. Cockroaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, fleas, earwigs, flies, and moths all share the same environment and treating one without treating the others leaves the conditions that attracted them in the first place completely unchanged.Our general pest treatment covers every common crawling and flying pest in a single visit. We treat internally and externally, including the roof void and subfloor — the zones most operators skip entirely. Every job ends with a signed treatment certificate issued on the day.
Signs you need a general pest treatment: Seeing multiple pest types at once. Pests returning within weeks of DIY spraying. Moving into a new property. Preparing for a tenancy inspection. It's been more than 6 months since your last professional treatment.

🏠 End of Lease Pest Treatment Most Melbourne rental agreements require a professional pest treatment — with a signed certificate before vacating. Get it wrong and your property manager can withhold bond, request re-treatment at your cost, or delay your final inspection.We provide same-day and next-day end of lease pest treatments across all of Melbourne, with a signed treatment certificate accepted by real estate agents and property managers. If the managing agent raises any concerns within 30 days, we return at no charge, no arguments, no extra cost.
Signs you need an end of lease treatment: Your lease agreement requires professional pest control before vacating. You have or have had pets on the property most leases require flea treatment in this case. Your property manager has flagged pest activity during the exit inspection.

🪳 Cockroaches Melbourne's most mishandled pest. There are two species that matter German and Australian — and they require completely different treatment protocols. German cockroaches cannot be sprayed. They must be gel baited directly into every harbourage point. Spraying them scatters the colony and makes the infestation significantly worse. Australian cockroaches respond well to residual spray and perimeter barrier treatment We identify the species on arrival. We apply the correct protocol. We back it with a 1-month callback guarantee.
Signs you have cockroaches: Live cockroaches during the day (sign of heavy infestation), black pepper-like droppings on benchtops or inside cupboards, musty oily smell in the kitchen, egg casings in cupboard hinges, cockroaches inside appliance motors.
-
🐀 Rodents- Rats & Mice As of March 2026, second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides — the products that actually eliminate established rodent populations — are restricted from public sale. Only licensed pest controllers can access and apply them. If you have rats or mice in your home today, DIY treatment with hardware store products is no longer an effective option.We bait with professional-grade rodenticides, install monitoring stations, locate and seal every entry point, and monitor until the population is fully eliminated. We don't just bait — we find where they're getting in and close it.
Signs you have rodents: Droppings along walls and in cupboards, gnaw marks on food packaging or timber, scratching sounds in walls or ceiling at night, grease smears along wall bases, nesting material in roof voids or subfloors.
-
🪲 Termites- Termites cause more structural damage to Australian homes than fires, floods, and storms combined — and almost no home insurance policy covers the repair bill. The average damage repair costs between $10,000 and $70,000. By the time termites are visible, the colony has typically been active for months.We use thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and Termatrac motion detection on every inspection — finding termites inside walls without drilling or destructive investigation. If they're present, we treat. If they're not, we document every conducive condition and protect against entry.
Signs you may have termites: Hollow-sounding timber, mud leads along walls or foundations, bubbling or blistering paint, tight-fitting doors and windows, discarded wings near window frames, sagging floors or ceilings.

🕷 Spiders Melbourne is home to genuinely dangerous spider species. Redbacks are found in letterboxes, under outdoor furniture, along fence bases, and near children's play equipment. White-tails hunt inside homes and hide in clothing and bedding. A surface spray that misses the nest and leaves the egg sacs intact resets the population within weeks. We physically remove all webs and egg sacs, treat every harborage zone internally and externally, and apply a professional residual barrier that lasts for months not days.
Signs you have a spider problem: Webs rebuilding in the same spots within days, egg sacs present on webs or surfaces, spiders found regularly inside the home, Redbacks identified near areas used by children or pets.
-
🐜 Ants Ants are one of the most persistent pests in Melbourne homes and one of the most commonly treated incorrectly. Surface spray pushes trailing ants back temporarily but never reaches the nest. The correct treatment is gel bait applied directly to the trails and entry points, combined with a residual external perimeter spray that stops them re-entering. We identify the species, locate the nest entry points, bait the trails, and seal the perimeter. Gone not just moved to a different room.
Signs you have ants: Visible trails indoors especially in kitchens, laundries, and along windowsills. Ants returning to the same locations within days of being sprayed. Small sandy mounds near paving or garden edges outside.
-
🐾 Fleas Fleas complete their life cycle in the environment not on the pet. The eggs, larvae, and pupae living in your carpets, rugs, and under furniture make up approximately 95% of the total flea population in an infested home. Treating only the pet addresses 5% of the problem. The other 95% remains active and will re-infest within days.We apply a professional residual insecticide to all floor surfaces, skirting lines, under furniture, and outdoor areas where flea larvae develop breaking the full life cycle, not just killing the adults you can see.
Signs you have fleas: Pets scratching excessively, small red bites around ankles and legs, seeing small fast-moving insects jumping on carpet or soft furnishings, flea dirt (black specks) in pet bedding.
-
🐟 Silverfish Silverfish are nocturnal and live deep inside wall cavities, ceiling voids, wardrobes, and paper storage areas. A surface spray never reaches them. They feed on paper, fabric, glue, and starchy materials books, clothing, wallpaper, and stored documents are all at risk.We apply a residual dust and spray treatment to all harborage zones — wall cavities, ceiling voids, wardrobes, and identified entry points reaching areas that surface treatment can't touch.
Signs you have silverfish: Irregular holes or yellow staining on paper and fabric, shed skins in wardrobes or storage areas, live silverfish spotted at night in bathrooms or kitchens, damage to book spines or wallpaper edges.
-
🐝 Wasps Wasps are territorial and aggressive when their nest is disturbed. Paper wasps, European wasps, and mud daubers are all found across Melbourne — and each requires a different approach. European wasps are the most dangerous, nesting in wall cavities, roof voids, and underground — and a disturbed European wasp nest will swarm.We identify the species, locate the nest, and apply the appropriate treatment — direct nest destruction where accessible or chemical treatment where nests are inside walls or voids. Do not attempt to remove a wasp nest yourself.
Signs you have wasps: Repeated wasp activity around a fixed point on eaves, roofline, or garden. Wasps entering gaps in walls or the ground. Paper nest structures visible under eaves or pergolas.
-
🦟 Flies & Mosquitoes Flies and mosquitoes are breeding nuisances that indicate organic matter, standing water, or drainage issues on or near the property. We apply external barrier treatments to resting areas, eaves, garden beds, and standing water zones, combined with internal treatment to resting surfaces. We also advise on conducive conditions blocked drains, garden water features, compost areas that sustain the breeding cycle.
Signs you have a fly or mosquito problem: Heavy fly activity around windows and doors, mosquitoes present indoors in the evening, clusters of flies around outdoor bins or compost, bites occurring regularly in outdoor areas.
-
🦗 Earwigs Earwigs shelter in mulch, garden edges, leaf litter, and under outdoor debris during the day and enter homes through ground-level gaps at night. They're attracted to moisture and organic material. We apply external perimeter treatment and seal ground-level entry points to stop them entering.
Signs you have earwigs: Finding earwigs in bathrooms, laundries, or kitchens at night. Damage to seedlings and soft garden plants. Earwigs sheltering under outdoor pots, timber, or garden debris.
-
🦋 Moths & Pantry Pests Clothes moths damage natural fibres — wool, silk, cashmere, and cotton — in wardrobes and storage areas. Pantry moths infest dried food goods — flour, rice, cereals, and dried fruit — and spread quickly through kitchen cupboards. Both species require source removal combined with residual treatment of wall cavities and ceiling lines.We advise on source identification and removal, then apply residual treatment to all harborage and entry zones. Treating without removing the source always results in re-infestation.
Signs you have moths: Irregular holes or silky webbing in clothing or fabric. Fine webbing or larvae inside food packaging. Adult moths flying in kitchens or bedrooms at night.
