Common Cafe Pests
What we find in Melbourne cafes
Cockroaches
Warm espresso machines, grinders and fridge motors are ideal harbourage. Treated with gel bait and growth regulator to break the cycle.
Ants
Sugar caddies, syrup bottles and pastry crumbs draw trails across counters. Baited back to the nest, not just wiped away.
Flies & fruit flies
Milk residue, floor wastes and bin rooms are breeding grounds. Managed with drain treatment and targeted residual spraying.
Mice
Common in older shopfronts and shared rear laneways. Controlled with discreet lockable stations and proofing advice.

FAQs
Cafe pest control questions
Can you treat my cafe without closing?
Yes. Most Melbourne cafes are serviced after close or before the morning rush, so you never lose a trading hour and customers never see a treatment in progress.
Is it safe around coffee equipment, milk and pastries?
Absolutely. We use food-premises approved products applied to cracks, voids and harbourage areas only. Machines, benches and display cabinets are covered or avoided entirely and are ready for service immediately.
How often does a cafe need pest control?
Quarterly service suits most low-risk cafes. Sites with heavy pastry or bakery output, shared bin areas or older shopfronts usually do best on a monthly or bi-monthly plan.
Do you provide documentation for Council inspections?
Yes. Every visit produces a signed service report with products used, areas treated and recommendations — everything an Environmental Health Officer asks to see.
What does cafe pest control cost in Melbourne?
Cafe plans start from $79 per month depending on floor area and risk. One-off treatments are also available, and every new venue gets a free site inspection first.
