Discovering pests at home or at a business can quickly turn into a question of who to call and what sort of treatment is actually required.
For Melbourne Guide readers researching local pest control options, All Pests is one business worth knowing about. The locally owned company says it has operated since 2000 and has completed more than 10,000 jobs across residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Its service area includes Melbourne, Bayside, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, with treatments available for common pest problems ranging from ants, cockroaches and spiders through to rodents, bed bugs, termites and wasps.
As with any pest control service, it is worth understanding the problem, proposed treatment, price and follow-up arrangements before deciding which provider is right for your property.
What does All Pests do?
All Pests provides pest control and pest management services for homes and businesses.
According to the business, its services include:
- termite inspections and barrier treatments
- ant and cockroach control
- spider control
- rodent management
- bed bug treatment
- bee and wasp removal
- bird and wildlife management
- fly and mite control
- end-of-lease pest control.
This breadth may be useful if you are not yet certain what type of pest treatment your property requires or if you are comparing providers that can deal with more than one type of pest problem.
All Pests says it takes a diagnostic-first approach. This involves inspecting the property to identify the pest, potential entry points, areas where pests are harbouring and conditions that may be contributing to the issue before determining the treatment.
Why All Pests may be relevant to Melbourne Guide readers
Melbourne Guide covers local services to help readers identify businesses they may want to investigate further. Pest control is one of those services where location, responsiveness and the nature of the problem can all influence the choice of provider.
All Pests is particularly relevant for readers in Melbourne’s south-east, Bayside, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.
Residential work covers houses, units, apartments and townhouses. The company lists locations including Frankston, Seaford, Rye, Hastings, Rosebud and Mount Eliza among the areas it services.
All Pests also says same-day emergency pest control is available for acute infestations, with typical response times of 30–90 minutes. Availability and response times can vary, so confirm these directly when making an enquiry if the problem is urgent.
All Pests also works with Melbourne businesses
Pest problems are not limited to homes.
All Pests provides commercial pest management for single and multi-site businesses across Melbourne and Victoria. The industries it says it services include restaurants and cafés, food manufacturing facilities, offices, schools, retailers, warehouses, industrial sites, real estate agencies, property managers and owners corporation or strata-managed properties.
For commercial customers, the company says it can provide scheduled servicing, pest management plans and compliance documentation.
If you are responsible for a commercial property, it is worth discussing the requirements of your particular premises directly with the provider, especially where food safety, tenancy obligations or other regulatory requirements apply.
Termite inspections and treatment
Termites deserve particular attention because termite activity can cause significant property damage and may not always be immediately visible.
All Pests offers termite inspections and barrier treatments as part of its services. The company states that it uses accredited inspection methods and barrier treatments designed to detect, eliminate and prevent termite activity.
If you are arranging termite-related work, ask what the inspection covers, what treatment is being recommended, why it is appropriate for the property and what ongoing inspections or maintenance may be required.
For significant property or building concerns, you should also seek appropriately qualified professional advice where necessary.
What stands out about the All Pests approach?
One feature worth considering when comparing pest controllers is how they determine which treatment to use.
All Pests says it inspects a property before treatment rather than applying the same standard treatment to every situation. Its stated process is intended to identify the pest species, entry points, harbourage areas, extent of the problem and contributing conditions.
The business also says it uses child- and pet-safe products wherever possible and provides a treatment guarantee under which it will return without an additional charge if the problem persists.
Guarantees can have conditions and exclusions, so ask All Pests for the current terms applying to your particular treatment before relying on them.
The company also says it uses unmarked vehicles for residential visits for customers who prefer a more discreet service.
Experience and business information
All Pests states that it was established in 2000 and has completed more than 10,000 jobs.
The company is locally owned and operated rather than being part of a pest-control franchise. Its supplied business information also reports a 5.0-star Google rating.
Online ratings can change over time. If customer feedback is important to your decision, check the current rating, number and recency of reviews yourself and read a range of feedback rather than relying on the headline score alone.
What to check before choosing a pest controller
Finding a provider is only the beginning of the research process.
Before booking All Pests or another Melbourne pest control company, consider confirming:
- whether the provider services your suburb
- what pest has been identified and how that identification was made
- what treatment is proposed and why
- whether you, children or pets need to leave the property during treatment
- what preparation is required beforehand
- the total price and what it includes
- whether follow-up visits are included
- the conditions applying to any guarantee
- relevant licences, qualifications and insurance where required
- how long you should expect before seeing the full result of treatment.
For commercial properties, you may also need to ask about documentation, scheduled servicing and any industry-specific compliance requirements.
These questions can make it easier to compare providers on more than price alone.
