You will learn effective pest control practices including chemical baiting, trapping, and sealing entry points to keep pests out. The guide also highlights the importance of maintaining cleanliness around your property, such as keeping rubbish bins covered and lawns trimmed, to reduce pest attraction.

This information is relevant for residents of Darebin and applies to homes and properties throughout the area. For specific issues like European wasp nests on public property or nature strips, contact Darebin Council for removal services.
European wasps are aggressive and can build large nests in various locations. Do not attempt to remove wasp nests yourself; always contact a licensed pest controller. Bee swarms are less aggressive and usually move on quickly, but you can report swarms to SwarmPatrol for safe relocation. If wasp nests are found on light poles, contact the relevant utility providers listed.
