December marks the beginning of peak pest season across Victoria. Warmer weather, increased humidity and outdoor activity create ideal conditions for pest infestations to surge.

Rossy Pest Services supports homes and businesses across West Melbourne, North Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Melton, Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula with fast-response summer pest control.

The Most Common Summer Pests in December

During December, we see sharp increases in:

  • Mosquito activity
  • Flies around bins and food areas
  • Wasps nesting in roofs and trees
  • Cockroach infestations in warm kitchens
  • Ant activity indoors and outdoors
  • Rodent movement around commercial waste zones

Both residential and commercial properties experience higher pest pressure at this time of year.

Why December Is High-Risk for Businesses

December brings:

  • Increased foot traffic
  • Outdoor dining
  • Holiday trading hours
  • Higher food waste volumes

This makes restaurants, cafés, hotels and shopping centres particularly vulnerable to sudden pest outbreaks during the busiest trading period of the year.

Preventative Pest Control Before Christmas

Professional summer pest treatments help:

  • Stop infestations before they escalate
  • Protect food safety compliance
  • Reduce hygiene risks
  • Maintain customer confidence
  • Prevent emergency call-outs during peak trading
