Complete Spring & Summer Pest Control Checklist for Sunbury Homes

As temperatures rise across Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges corridor, pest activity spikes dramatically. Taking proactive measures now saves you time, money, and stress later in the season. ### 1. Trim Overhanging Tree Branches Tree branches touching your roof act as superhighways for possums, rodents, and spiders like Redbacks and White-Tails. Keep branches trimmed back at least 2 metres from eaves. ### 2. Seal Gaps and Weather Stripping Inspect door sweeps, window screens, and weep holes. Installing fine wire mesh over weep holes prevents mice, spiders, and snakes from squeezing into wall cavities. ### 3. Manage Outdoor Bins and Compost Ensure bin lids seal tightly and keep compost bins elevated. Uncovered organic waste attracts rats and mice, which in turn attract snakes looking for prey. ### 4. Book Annual Professional Perimeter Spraying A comprehensive barrier treatment around your home's exterior, subfloor, and roof cavity eliminates active infestations and deters spiders, ants, and cockroaches for up to 12 months.
