Restaurant pest control in Melbourne that protects your reputation
One cockroach in the dining room can cost you a review, a rating or a licence. We keep Melbourne restaurants pest-free with discreet after-hours treatments and audit-ready documentation.

Audit-ready records
Treatment logs, SDS and site plans ready for Council and Food Act inspections.
Food-safe products

Same-day emergencies
Live activity before service? We prioritise restaurant callouts.

The pests that put Melbourne kitchens at risk
German cockroaches
Breed fast in warm motor housings, dishwashers and cracked grout. Treated with gel bait, IGR and crack-and-crevice application.
Rats & mice

FAQs
Restaurant pest control questions
Do you service Melbourne restaurants after hours?
Yes. We schedule most restaurant treatments after close or before service so there is zero disruption to your kitchen, staff or diners. Late-night and early-morning slots are available across Melbourne metro.
Will pest treatment affect my food safety compliance?
It supports it. Every visit is documented with treatment logs, product records and safety data sheets so you can present a complete pest management file during Council, Food Act or third-party audits.
How often should a restaurant be treated?
Most Melbourne restaurants sit on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. High-risk sites — heavy prep volume, shared waste areas or older buildings — usually benefit from monthly service with rodent station monitoring.
Are the products safe to use around food prep areas?
Yes. We use food-premises approved gels, baits and IGRs applied to cracks, voids and harbourage points — never open food-contact surfaces. Benches are ready for service as soon as we finish.
How much does restaurant pest control cost in Melbourne?
Recurring commercial plans start from $79 per month and are priced on your floor area, kitchen layout and risk profile. New commercial clients get a free on-site survey and fixed quote.
Can you come out urgently if we have an active problem?
Yes. Active cockroach or rodent activity in a restaurant is treated as an emergency — we aim to be on-site the same day to protect your reputation and trading.
