Mr. Saeed is a gentleman and an honest person; I love dealing with him. He has serviced our property for ants, spiders and rodents and it's been very effective. I have been a repeat customer, and I have referred him to many of my family and friends, and they are all very satisfied.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Total Care Pest Control. We have been using their services for the last 3–4 years, and their service has always been excellent.

They are very reliable and can also accommodate urgent jobs. They are flexible with timing and will schedule the service according to your availability, including early-morning appointments. I have used them for both rat and cockroach problems, especially German cockroaches.

What really impressed me was their pricing. Other companies were quoting around $1,600 for the job, while Total Care Pest Control provided the same service at a very reasonable price. They are professional, cooperative, and genuinely care about helping their customers.

If you need pest control for your home or restaurant, I would definitely recommend Total Care Pest Control. Great service, reasonable prices, and very reliable!

Thank you, Total Care Pest Control! 🙏

SLATER CONTROL MELBOURNE

About Slaters / Pill Bugs

Slaters (Armadillidium vulgare) are not insects but land-dwelling crustaceans. They breathe through gills and are highly dependent on moist environments. Slaters are slow-moving, oval-shaped, and capable of rolling into a ball when threatened — a defensive behaviour.

Common Features:

  • Size: 5–15 mm
  • Colour: Dark grey or brown
  • Habitat: Under mulch, logs, compost, and rocks
  • Active: Night-time and after rain
  • Life Span: 2–4 years in ideal conditions

Slater & Pill Bug FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Slater & Pill Bug Control

Find answers to common questions about slater activity, treatment methods, prevention and professional slater & pill bug control for Melbourne homes and gardens.

No. They do not bite, sting, or transmit disease — but they can be distressing and messy when invading indoors.
Damp conditions, excess mulch, and leaf litter attract slaters. Homes with poor drainage are particularly vulnerable.
Not long-term. Sprays reduce numbers, but lasting control requires environmental modification and proper sealing.
Slaters mostly feed on decaying matter, but in large numbers they can damage seedlings, soft fruit and young plants, and are often found sheltering under pots, timber and garden debris.
With proper treatment and habitat correction, reinfestation is unlikely. We offer seasonal re-treatment plans for high-risk, moisture-prone properties.
