What pests are common in Reservoir?
Reservoir is a large suburb in Melbourne’s north with a mix of brick homes from the post-war years, units and townhouses, and it sits close to Edgars Creek, Darebin Creek and a number of parks. That mix gives pests food, water and shelter. Rats and mice move from the creeks and parks into sheds, garages and roof voids as nights cool, possums use roofs in streets with mature trees, and ants nest in paving, garden beds and wall gaps. Cockroaches are a common call in units and townhouses, where pipes and walls connect homes, and fleas follow animals into carpet in summer. Spiders gather around eaves, garages and fences from spring. The pest and the method change with the street and the type of home, so a technician identifies the pest before treating.

What do Reservoir homes look like, and how does that shape the pest problem?
Many Reservoir homes are single-storey brick houses on mid-sized blocks, with older roofs, gaps at the eaves and subfloor vents that rodents and possums can use. Units and townhouses are common near the main roads and the station, where shared walls and pipes let cockroaches and rodents move between homes. Homes backing onto the creek or reserves tend to see more rodents, possums and spiders, while homes with large gardens and fruit trees see more possum visits and ant nests under paving. Tell us the kind of home, whether it is shared and where you see the pest, because that tells us where to look first. If a possum is in the roof, do not block the entry before we check it is empty, because a possum shut inside can damage the lining and may die there.
