Why Truganina homes see so many pests
Truganina is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Melbourne's west. Its population reached 36,305 at the 2021 Census, and Wyndham City counted 69% more households than in 2016. Much of that growth is new estates next to open land and building sites, and disturbed ground on the edge of an estate can push mice, spiders and ants towards the nearest homes.
The suburb sits 22.4 km west of the CBD, bordered by Skeleton Creek to the west and the Federation Trail to the south, and is split between the Cities of Wyndham and Melton. A large part of it is given over to manufacturing and logistics, including Kmart's distribution centre, the biggest building by footprint in Australia. Where food and goods are stored on that scale, rats and mice are never far away, both in the warehouses and in the streets around them.
Homes here are busy and young: 3.4 people per household and a median age of 30 at the last Census, with about 29% of homes rented privately. That makes two things matter more than usual: treatments that are safe around children and pets, and pest control when a lease ends.
Pests we treat in Truganina
Possums in the roof
Thumping and scratching above the ceiling at night is usually a brushtail possum. Possums are protected in Victoria under the Wildlife Act 1975. A brushtail caught in a building must be released no more than 50 metres away, after sunset on the same day, so the lasting fix is finding and sealing the way into your roof.
Rats and mice
Droppings in the pantry, chewed packaging or scratching in the roof or under the floor are the usual signs. We treat inside the home, the roof space or underneath it, depending on where the noise is coming from, with up to 2 months' guarantee for properties in normal to average condition.
Cockroaches
Larger cockroaches usually come in from gardens and drains, while German cockroaches breed indoors around kitchens and appliances and need their own treatment. Both are treated inside and outside the home, with up to 2 months' guarantee.
Termites
Termites eat timber from the inside, so the damage often stays hidden until it is serious. If you've noticed mud tubes on walls or skirting boards that sound hollow, book a termite treatment, or start with an inspection-only visit if you just want to know where you stand.
Spiders
Spider treatment covers inside and outside the home, including eaves, window and door frames, fences and garden edges where webs build up.
Wasps and bees
About 80% of European wasp nests are in the ground, often in lawns and garden beds, and the rest are in roofs or wall cavities. Nests grow over summer and peak in early autumn, and a wasp can sting repeatedly when its nest is disturbed. Don't block the entrance or spray it yourself; book a nest treatment instead.
Ants
Ants follow food trails into kitchens and bathrooms and nest under paving, slabs and lawns. We can treat inside, outside or both, with up to 2 months' guarantee.
Fleas and bed bugs
Fleas come in on pets and can live on in carpets after the pet has gone. Bed bugs hide in mattresses, bed frames and furniture seams and usually arrive in luggage or second-hand furniture. Both are treated inside the home, with up to 2 months' guarantee.

Common pests in Truganina Melbourne this summer
In Brighton, Melbourne, as we move through spring, homeowners should be vigilant for swarming termites on warm, humid evenings and the activity of European wasp queens establishing new nests. Ants and spiders are also becoming more noticeable as the temperatures rise. Look for signs such as mud tubes indicating termite presence, wasps flying in and out of specific areas, and spider webs in corners. To help manage these pests, keep outdoor areas clean and free of food debris. It may be wise to book a treatment for comprehensive pest control.
