Some common pests in your home
Rodents - Rats & Mice
Rodents (rats and mice) are one of the most common pests in Australia. They are notoriously responsible for the spread of many diseases and contaminate more food than they eat. Rats and mice have also been known to cause house fires after chewing through electrical cables.
Common pest rodent species in Victoria include the Norway rat, the roof rat and the house mouse. We are pest control experts who understand rodent behaviours to provide you with the most effective pest control solution.
Termites
Termites are a light colour, usually a white/cream colour and can sometimes look quite translucent. They have straight antennae compared to ants. Termites have a thick waist.
Termites live off a strict diet of cellulose. Cellulose is an organic compound found in wood, plants and paper. All species of termites live off cellulose whether they build their nest using it depends on the species.
Spiders
Common spiders found in Melbourne are Redback Spider, Black House Spider, White Tailed Spider, Wolf Spider, Garden Spider. Some species of spiders are harmless to humans, and some are poisonous.
The most common places to look for these insects are in your basement, attic, roof voids, garages, storerooms, your garden, as well as in your cupboards.
Wasps
The wasp has vivid yellow and black stripes on its abdomen, which is a little longer than honeybees. Both wasps and bees are not normally aggressive but will attack if their nest is disturbed.
Wasps, as predators, are naturally more aggressive and more easily provoked. The location of the nest is also important, if a grey, paper-like nesting material is present where the flying insects are gaining entry, it indicates a wasp problem.
Bees
Bees usually have thick, branched hairs which attract large amounts of pollen to their bodies. Wasps are usually hairless or have simple, non-branched hairs. Bees have modified hair structures (scopa) to carry pollen loads back to the nest.
Bees provide us with honey and wax and are generally beneficial to the environment. Nevertheless, they can be a major problem inside of houses and other buildings. Their stings hurt and can be fatal if a whole swam attacks you.
Ants
Ants are considered a pest when they infest buildings and surrounds, and feed on human foodstuffs. Pest ants can be controlled with good food hygiene, sprays, dusts and baits.
In Australia there are over 4000 known species of ants. Only a handful of these (mostly introduced species) are considered pests. The appropriate method of control will depend on the species of ant.
Flies
Flies are considered a pest due to their ability to transmit diseases such as salmonella, dysentery and hepatitis through their hairy bodies and because of their mobility between waste (human or organic) and food preparation areas and utensils.
It is important to maintain high standards of hygiene to keep these pests out of your home by covering bins, storing your food in sealed containers, cleaning food related messes and spills immediately, cleaning after your pet. If you are having issues with flies, contact us today for a quote.
Fleas
Fleas are small insects that are unable to fly and usually develop in animal hair. Fleas are a pest to humans and pets. They are the most common cause of skin disorders for pets in Australia.
We provide pest inspections and flea control treatments for Residential and Commercial properties.
Call Colstons Pest Control on 0422 864 897 if you are having flea issues in your home or commercial property.
Clothes Moths
Clothes moths can’t fly very far, so it is unlikely that they come into homes through open windows, although this is possible in urban areas.. Clothes moths and pantry moths can be a real pest when they start eating your woollens and getting into your flour.
They produce larvae which feed on our natural fibre clothes and furnishings. They destroy our many fabric items such as furniture, bedding, curtains, clothing, bags and accessories.

Cockroaches
Cockroaches are a common pest, infesting both indoor and outdoor areas. Cockroaches eat virtually any animal or vegetable material, including paper, fabric, leather, starches and grease particles.
Effective control of pest cockroaches involves thorough inspection, reducing sources of food, water and shelter, pesticides or baits, and ongoing maintenance. Cockroaches are generally nocturnal. Any active cockroaches observed during the day are often indicative of a larger issue.
Carpet Beetle
Carpet beetles are a common fabric pest. Although their name indicates they only eat carpets or rugs, they will eat a wide range of animal fabrics including wool, fur, silk, felt, feathers and leather.
There are a number of different species of carpet beetles in Australia, with the three common species in Australia and NZ being the black carpet beetle, variegated carpet beetle and Australian carpet beetle.
Snake Removal
If you happen to see a snake in your home or on your property; remain calm, keep a safe distance (at least 3m) away from the snake and call us to remove it. Our pest controllers are certified snake catchers and can remove and relocate any snake you find on your property legally and safely.
Safe snake removal requires training, licensing and the necessary tools to safely remove snakes. Colstons Pest Control are reliable and professional snake catchers operating throughout Carrum Downs and surrounding areas including Mornington Peninsula.
