The MBCC in their wisdom decided to clear our parklands behind our property of trees not native to our area. Yes…good in theory, but possums that… Read more
nest in those trees were dropping like flies. I already have a few possum boxes on my property, but not enough to house the “homeless”. I called Pete the Possum Man and they sent out Michael with 2 new houses and promptly put them in my tree in the backyard. Lovely man and a great job. I love my possums…it wouldn’t be a home without them. Maybe Pete the Possum Man should approach the council about putting boxes in the trees in the park…just a thought.

North Brisbane Building & Pest Inspections
A huge thank you to Brett & Jacki for taking excellent care of our pre-sale B&P inspection. Jacki was very helpful and prompt with responses… Read more
throughout our process. Brett was incredibly thorough and took the time after the inspection to explain the defects, seriousness / impacts or how to resolve / who to engage. Brett explained everything in a manner that was easy to digest and not overwhelming, he was honest, to the point and made sure all our questions were answered giving us the peace of mind to move forward with the sale knowing exactly what was up! We have had bad experiences with other companies before so we will definitely be using Brett and Jacki in the future and honestly we can’t recommend them enough.

Eco Carpet Cleaning Brisbane
Note that they later trade as General Cleaning Solutions. Very disappointing experience. I paid a premium price for what was sold as a "heavy carpet… Read more
clean" based on assurances of excellent after care if there were any issues. Within 24 hours a fresh pet accident mark and odour remained, but instead of honouring those promises the company simply relied on generic disclaimers and refused to return to inspect the work. Poor customer service, poor after sales support, and not the premium service that was promised.
Up to me to clean the carpets...
Pest-Ex
Excellent service and expertise. The PestX team helped me adjust my order to make it cheaper while still achieving the aim. As it turned out, I adjusted my plan and needed some additional products. I contacted them and the products arrived in 2 days.

They are absolute worst and have damaged my plants and carpet with her cleaning. It should've rang a bell when she came with a different company name… Read more
than the actual one I looked at online. I don't mean to discriminate but she was Indian and when they reach out they have english names like the one they used (John). Don't bother ever reaching out to them and truly make sure when someone comes in they introduce themselves for the same company

kitchen tiles, oven, and bathroom grout. Anna, one of the team members, made sure no corners were missed. The carpets in the bedroom, which were in bad shape, came out looking much better. They even cleaned the balcony rails, which I didn’t expect! The team was polite, fast, and left no mess behind. It's clear they take pride in their work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone moving out.

Really solid pest control experience. They showed up when they said they would, which already puts them ahead of half the trades I’ve used before.… Read more
The guy checked every corner inside and out, pointed out a few spots where ants were nesting, and treated everything properly. Prices were fair, no hidden extras or nonsense upselling. It’s been over a month and we haven’t seen a single roach or spider, which is rare in Melbourne this time of year. He even gave me a few tips to help keep them away. Proper service like that sticks with you.

Tried to follow up and he ignored me and ghosted me, as their solution didn't fix my pest problem. they don't care after they get paid, and they don't honor their free re-visits/warranty.
What kind of work do pest management services do?
In treating pests, a pest control technician carries out a pest inspection on a home or commercial property, identifies the pest problem, and applies the appropriate pest control method.
There are a variety of treatments available, but here are some that are widely used for common pests.
- Pesticides are chemicals that are generally used to eradicate insects - such as ants, cockroaches, and spiders - as well as animals, fungi, and plants. They’re fast acting and are particularly effective in small spaces.
- Fumigation involves using a gas pesticide to kill pests, and is often used for termite control and other bug infestations. Fumigants are used in a sealed environment, which is why tents are sometimes set up around the home or area that needs to be treated.
- Poisoned baits and traps are generally used for rodent control, such as for exterminating rats and mice, and sometimes bugs. After being baited or trapped, the pests are then carefully removed.
- Animal capture or removal is usually used for larger animals, and doesn’t involve killing the pest. For example, possums are usually removed from the site, and then entry points in the building are repaired so that the possum can't get back into it after its release.
- Heat treatment is usually used for bed bug treatment, and involves raising the temperature of a room to kill bugs - no chemicals needed.
Here are some benefits and drawbacks of pest control.
Who needs pest control?
Below are some signs that it’s time to call a pest control expert - however, they don’t necessarily mean that you have an infestation on your hands, so it’s a good idea to provide more details to a specialist and seek their advice.
- When you see mud tunnels, as this could point to termites, or white ants.
- When you get bitten in bed. This means there may be a bed bug or flea infestation.
- When you hear scratching, tapping or chewing sounds coming from the walls or roof. This could indicate that rodents, birds, or bats are present.
- When you see trails of ants in clean environments.
- When small holes appear in clothes or papery items. These could be silverfish damage.
- When you see small droppings in the corners of your house, or small gnaw marks on things in the kitchen. This could mean you have mice or rats in your home.
- When you see nests or hives, or there is a swarm of insects or bees around your ceiling - this usually indicates that there is either a food source or a nest.
Before deciding on whether pest treatment is necessary, try to find out more about the species of pest you have. For example, the mud-dauber wasp is a harmless native that is a great pollinator and can also help keep spider and bug numbers at bay, so you might want to reconsider whether removal of a mud-dauber nest is necessary.
The bottom line
Pest control is important, but only when you actually have a problem on your hands. Seeing a few bugs around the place doesn’t necessarily mean you should call a professional, however if they start to bother you, or have a harmful effect on your food or living conditions, then you should start considering pest control solutions.
What to look for in a pest control company
Experience
See how many years of experience a company has. Of course, you can feel free to give someone who’s relatively new to pest management a shot, but some people have more peace of mind entrusting expert technicians with their home.
Don’t just check how many years they’ve been operating, but also how much experience they have in the services you need.
Licensing
It’s important to check that the company you’re considering is licensed, to ensure both optimal safety and that the services they provide are legal. It also helps ensure that the company is environmentally responsible, and performs humane pest control.
Licensing requirements vary across states, so you should check local laws against any pest controller you’re thinking of hiring - in most cases these licences are issued by the health department of the state they’re operating in.
For extra peace of mind, you can also check for certifications and affiliations. For example, PestCert Accreditation is only given to businesses who have been strictly vetted by the organisation and are accredited to the highest industry standards.
Insurance
Accidents can happen even when you’re careful. What’s more important is how a company handles any damage done to your home or possessions. Make sure you ask them before the treatment what kind of insurance they provide, and what happens in the event of an accident.
Customer service
Ask what you should do before and after the treatment - a pest control company should be clear about what’s needed from you during the whole process.
They should also be prompt and timely with their communication - if they take a long time responding to your questions or concerns, then chances are that they won't provide an efficient service either.
Also avoid pushy pest control companies that try to quickly get you to secure a job with them - they tend to be more money-minded than service-oriented, and you’ll likely have a less pleasant experience dealing with them.
Transparency
If a company isn’t upfront with aspects of their service such as their fees, what treatment entails, and their business guarantees, then take caution.
You should also be wary of companies who say that one pest control treatment will solve all your pest problems. If you have different types of pests, then you’ll likely need a variety of treatments to control the different infestations.
Job satisfaction
A company may not always be successful in eradicating the pest the first time round, so see if they offer a guarantee on the work they do. If they do, ensure you’re well-acquainted with the terms of the guarantee.
Word of mouth is as good as gold when it comes to choosing who to manage your pest problems. Ask the friend, neighbour, or family member who has managed to control the pests in their home about which company they used and what their experience with them was.
Online pest control reviews are also a valuable tool to see what previous customers have had to say about a business. Of course, the closer to 5 stars a company is, the better, however the way in which a business responds to negative reviews can let you know how committed they are to ensuring 100% of their customers are satisfied with their service.
How much is a pest control service?
The price of a pest control service varies greatly depending on the nature of your infestation and the nature of the treatment required for it. For example, the cost of termite treatment, particularly subterranean termite treatment, can go into the thousands because they can be difficult to locate, whereas wasp nest removal can be as little as a few hundred dollars.
To see whether you’re getting a fair price and aren’t being overcharged, try to get at least 2 or 3 quotes - most reputable companies will offer this free of charge, no strings attached.
Tips for keeping your home or office pest-free
Whether or not you’ve enlisted the help of a pest control technician, there are a few methods of natural pest control you can do to help keep your home or business pest-free and prevent the need to call a pest control company in the first place.
- Ensure the roof, eves, and fascias of your building are well maintained, and that any gaps or holes are repaired.
- Avoid keeping large amounts of rubbish indoors overnight, to avoid attracting rats and mice.
- Fix mesh over holes in screens, walls, doors, and other building openings to prevent rodents and insects from entering.
- Ensure any leaking pipes or broken gutters are fixed, as the moisture around them can attract termites.
- Remove discarded timber from the home and seal untreated timber - this works as a form of termite protection.
- Check that any grocery bags and cardboard boxes you bring into your home are free from cockroaches and their egg cases - this is a common cause of infestations.
- Keep all food items in your pantry in an airtight container, clean food scraps off surfaces promptly, and wipe down your sink every day to avoid attracting ants.
- Install a termite barrier (either physical or chemical) around your home.
Keeping your home or office clean and well maintained, treating minor problems yourself with pest control products, and consulting an expert as soon as you suspect you may have an infestation will help you avoid a huge headache down the road, and will help you keep comfortable at home and at work.
