Mr Pest Controller

Honestly, reading the reviews online I thought it would be an up-front, easy process. I filled out the request for a quote, stating 4 bedrooms in a 2 storey house. The contractor showed up, increased the quote by 50%, and used the excuse that their base quote was for a 2 bedroom apartment. Typical bait and switch tactics meant to pressure the customer to pay more for the services on the day. Dishonest and aggressive. Show details

Jack came out on Saturday morning of a long weekend when other companies had no one to work. He was efficient, professional and explained everything. A dedicated worker amongst this company. The area guy took weekend off & Jack came from far away to deal with our situation.

Pritesh has been coming to our place in Mulgrave for the past three years. He is super reliable and gets the job done well! Over the years we have been a massive reduction of pests coming into our home. I will go with Pritesh again next year.

M8 =5 stars – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t be happier with the service we received from m8 pest control today! From start to finish, the team was professional, thorough, and so friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our new home was fully protected, answering all our questions with patience and expertise. Not only did they do an outstanding job, but they… Read more ·  1

surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which was such a thoughtful touch! It’s rare to find a company that combines exceptional service with such personal care. Highly recommended—five stars all the way! Mrs mcrae banksia beach

Great! – I have had a great experience with these guys especially Pritesh. He takes his time to explain things so we know what the best option is. In addition, when he gives the cost price he makes sure he gives an amount that he doesn't change after the job is done (which I had happen to me in the past with other pest control companies). Finally I have a regular guy that I know can complete the job well!! Show reply

AVOID THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT CONSTANT SALES CALLS, called in March to get a quote on 1 wasp nest. Told me they wouldn't give me a quote until i give them name, email, phone number and address (obviously for marketing), finally when they gave in and they gave me a quote it was overly expensive and only an estimate as the technician may adjust… Read more

when coming to site.

Ended up telling them not to worry and i would go somewhere else, 10 weeks later i am still getting sales calls and SMS's every week asking if i need any treatments done.

Can charge whatever they want – Given a price over the phone for $280 flat fee for ant spraying asked if this was total price for call out and to do the job multiple times, I was assured it was. Guy comes out walks around and says $390!!! We have a very small house, no land and when I ask why.. he said $280 was starting price. I refused and he changed a call out of $80.. even… Read more

though I asked multiple times on the phone if there was a call out fee and they said NO!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

Thorough and friendly – Thank you Pritesh from Mr Pest Controller. Pritesh was very informative, professional, thorough and friendly. I really appreciated the time he spent explaining the best strategy to get rid of the persistent rats my roof. Show reply

Great service & I felt safe – Very short notice on my part after I saw a mouse come in from outside on level 1 of my apartment building I have a disability and requested mobile phone contact prior to visit Instructions followed which was awesome I was allocated contractor Jack What a lovely fellow Very informative He did an inspection and found droppings behind my fridge,… Read more ·  1

behind my lounge cabinet, under my dogs bed, luckily no evidence in my bedroom He suggested 4 baits and explained the process Pet friendly All baits hidden Hopefully they will go away after eating the baits Thanks to my neighbour feeding the pigeons birdseed - unsure why they didn’t know that this would attract rodents So neighbourly

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY – The technicians are unprofessional and the product DOES NOT WORK. Technicians conduct on both occasions was not only unprofessional but they were clearly disinterested in doing their jobs. Product doesnt work and spraying quality is garbage. These guys will come in and spray one corner and claim to do the whole house. You will never get your money back. Don't use them.

Worst experience – Third class company with no ethics. I asked for any treatment mainly. Was suggested general pest control which costed us $330 and then it doesn’t have any warranty for ants. Secondly when the technician visited us, he mentioned the operators are not trained enough to give you the right options. Ant control and ant treatments are 2 different… Read more

things. Nobody at the company cares as they don’t believe in return customers. The invoice mentions only warranty for indoor spiders. Is that a joke. That amount for spiders and they too returning within a week. [Content Removed] experience. Never ever going back to them and will also let all family and friends that they have no commitment. Don’t go with them if don’t want to waste money. Could see ants on the next day of ant treatment and when complained I was told that due to treatment you will see lots of movement. And when you call after a week you get told general pest doesn’t include ant treatment. What a joke.

The Franchisor has no control over the franchisees behavior – It was excellent until [Name Removed] breached our privacy and uploaded an unauthorized video including the front of the building and the cricket plague we were trying to combat. Using [Name Removed] will give you all the negative publicity you never wanted. Show details

Extremely poor service – I had my garage sprayed for ants, the service fellow said he told me I would have to get the bricks re concreted which wasn’t the case. The ants were back in a matter of weeks, AN ABSOLUTE rip off . I rang the company to complain and was told some one would get back to me, well of course no one got back . I was told it would have to be re sprayed .

Lacks integrity – I'm sure Todd is fine but I wasn't home when he turned up as I had not confirmed the booking. However Todd told my husband it was all booked in which is rubbish. I had called up to get a quote and was told someone needed to come and visit the site. So Todd was only coming for a quote. However instead he thought he was booked In. Not only… Read more

that, he only did spider and ant outside. What I was looking for was a quote for inside and outside, and wasps, flys, cockroaches as well. I'd already determined that they were too expensive and requires us to be out of the house which is why I had not confirmed a time.

So the lack of integrity of this business and the slack way of operating is disgusting. I don't blame Todd for this I'm sure he was just operating off wrong information. Either way I cannot recommend the services at all and I'm incredibly annoyed.

Great business and product - really happy – I had my home sprayed mainly for spiders and ants. This business is professional and easy to deal with right from booking to completion. I loved how they provided reminders leading up to my appointment and I even received a message when they were on the way. Neil arrived early, spent time discussing the job and our needs. So professional and will… Read more

be using again for sure! I booked my mum's home next and I will be recommending this business to family and friends. Thanks again Neil and Mr Pest Controller.

Hoped the products would be better – I had a tech come out to our place end of September '23 to spray for ants and spiders. The ants are back in less than three months. When I rang they said that there was no warranty for ants. If they are back in a month then you have to pay for another spray. I've had other companies who's products last for much longer. They said that they… Read more

couldn't give me any idea how long the ants would stay away. What's the point of using you products spraying I asked? They were no help!

Dave was great. Excellent Service! – Dave was polite, professional and punctual. He handled our bird mite infestation effectively while giving us the confidence that the situation would be sorted out. I would highly recommend the service!

Can't get any paperwork – Used a credit card for rat man to come to 2 adjoining ground floor units. Despite asking 3 times could not get a credit card receipt or a paid invoice. Work was carried out on 7th May. It is now 3rd June. This is totally unprofessional.

Wonderful Service! – I couldn't recommend Mr Pest Controller more highly! They were able to schedule me in the following day after I rang in a panic after discovering that we had mice all through our kitchen. Dave was wonderful and really reassured me and made me feel confident that we'd be able to get rid of this infestation and prevent further ones.. Thanks so much to a wonderful company!

Visible changes in less than 24hours – Amazing service. Neil showed up early, discussed our problems with us. Walked us through exactly what he was going to do. He listened to everything we told him and made us feel comfortable that this could be sorted. We thought the spiders were never going to stop, but in less than 24 hours they are visibly dying or slowly being stunned enough for… Read more

us to remove them. It’s amazing! Can’t thank the team enough, we were genuinely scared about the amount we were seeing. But we can now actually see them disappearing! It’s amazing!

Good professional service – Our job was fairly small - putting in rat traps to discourage vermin from destroying our new ducted heating. Job was done competently on time and we were given good information.

Expert service from Darren at Mr Pest Controller – We found Darren to be very knowledgeable about our German Cockroach problem in Caulfield. He knew exactly how to get rid of the cockroaches, nothing was too much trouble. He was timely for our appointment and very patient while we prepared for pest extermination treatment.

Attention to detail and trustworthy – Long overdue pest control & what a relief it’s been after getting it done! Particularly with our mosquito problem. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely do this yearly for spiders and mosquitos.

Great and friendly service! – Would highly recommend Mr Pest Controller! Neil was so friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. Was very happy with the price and I was able to book the service for the following day! Will definitely be using their services again :)

Very thorough and professional service – Good value and provided great advice and insight on not only current inspection results but about best future proofing methods for termites. Would highly recommend to everyone this service, thanks

Termite inspection: quick and efficient – We bought this house just a few weeks ago, now we are renovating. So we thought it's a good idea to check for termites (in particular because we found some timber boards hidden underneath the tiles which were "eaten" up by some insects). So we called Mr Pest Controller, got an appointment essentially on the next day, they said it would cost $240.… Read more

Darren was on time, very friendly and happy to answer all our questions. He inspected our two-story house incl sub-roof areas and underneath the house (not much space there) and also outside the house. He used different tools, tested for moisture etc.... looked all very professional. We got lucky, no termites. And the damage to the timber boards was due to borer. We will certainly use them again next year.
