Excellent service offering peace of mind and excellent rodent control measures.

Very poor service They make you believe they will give you a three-month warranty, but they back down with flimsy excuses. Their way of dealing on the phone was good the first time I called them, but after calling them again, the treatment changed and became very rough.

This is a very honest company demonstrating professionalism from my initial phone call until Boomer arrived same day for the appointment on time. I thought it was a possum in the roof but investigation proved it was rats and a cheaper cost for me to fix. I will use Pest Control Empire again in the future without hesitation. I'll get this company out for a pest spray if necessary at Springtime.

Waste of money with this company – Unit infested with fleas. Call Tim an appointment was made. Treated the unit fleas are worse than before. Call Tim and stated that the treatment didn't work,he was very defensive and rude. I had payed $350 for a very poor service. Please go else where.

Wouldn't recommend – Moved into house and heard rattling around at night. Was booked in and was quoted >600 for rodent and possum control. Problem still exists and no sign of it getting better. Obviously google reviews are close to 5/5 whereas the reviews here give a more likely picture of how the company runs.

Great Service – Brad arrives on time, was incredibly helpful and professional. Job was done in less than an hour. I was able to book the job only 14 hours earlier. Great service.

Use another company – I was a returning customer to Pest Control Empire and unfortunately the service I received this time will make me never use them again. Issues included: the technician walking mud through our house and not cleaning up, the insect spay having little to no effect on indoor pests. Pests (spiders) reappeared almost instantly. After calling Tim about… Read more

it he was at first seemingly helpful however his helpfulness quickly turned to blame and abuse. Blaming unusual amount of rain ( despite there being the same amount of rain in 2023 as in 2022), then he blamed the chemicals they are now allowed to use not last more than 4-5 months despite the invoice noting that all the same chemicals were used.

When I enquired about this I was told I was welcome to try another pest control company. Extremely disappoints.

Beware of this company they do not stand by their work!

Would avoid these guys – After using them to remove a dead rat from our roof space (successfully), I got them to come back at a later date to spray for spiders. While the treatment has worked on the outside, there has been no change to the amount of spider webs and spider/bugs in the house. After ringing them to ask if the treatment may have not been done completely… Read more

inside the house, he blamed the extreme rain as to why the treatment hasn't been working, this should not be the case indoors! ... This rain has only been in the last couple of days, my spider issue has been going for at least 3 months. He proceeded to tell me that I was being very arrogant and abusive and that's why he wouldn't come to fix!!! In no such way, did I speak arrogantly, I simply asked if maybe the treatment hadn't been done correctly? As U can't tell if they are doing it or not, because they make you leave the house for 2 hours. Look around for someone else, before you use these guys.

Friendly, Transparent and Excellent service. Highly recommended! – We had just moved in our home early in the year and noticed activity in the roof gradually increasing over a period of 6 months. Contacted Pest Control Empire and was provided an estimate upfront and booked us in the soonest available schedule. Tim came by and immediately went to work. He explained the process thoroughly and kindly answered all my… Read more

questions. They even provide a treatment plan that we could follow to prevent future infestation. It's been about 3 months since and there has been no sign of new unwanted guests. Thanks for the transparent and excellent service!

Disgusting – I live in East Richmond, Melbourne, and my landlords, VMCH, called this company to deal with an infestation of bedbugs which had come up to my unit from the unit below where a man lives in filthy, putrid conditions, and his place was so bad that cleaners refused to go in, so his unit was fumigated, which I saw happening. The next morning, my body… Read more

was covered in bedbug bites, and I found out that this commonly happens when fumigation is used in apartments. After 3 days waiting, [Name Removed] came to my unit and I showed him the nest of bedbugs on the underside of my mattress. [Name Removed] asked me to help him carry out the mattress to the roadside so that we would not spread the infestation. Then he instructed me to go out for 2 hours while he sprayed. When I returned, the infected matress had been removed from the road, which I found strange as it was too late for Council collection. After a few days, I found more bedbugs and paid to have the carpet stream-cleaned. Then after more days, bedbugs were back. I phoned VMCH and both Tim and the VMCH Manager, [Name Removed], came to my unit. Those 2 men stood there and told me I had no bedbugs!!!! I stood there struck dumb by their lies. I am disgusted with Pest Control Empire and with VMCH - a Catholic organisation which is supposed to help people. I advise against using Pest Control Empire.

Absolutely fabulous service . First rate pest control service – These people are very professional and provide a first rate service. I would rate them very highly and recommend them to anyone seeking assistance. Shane traced the source of a foul smelling odour in our lounge room to a cavity under the house from which he retrieved a dead mouse.

Poor service – Asked them to come out to remove a dead rat from our roof space. We were quoted $150. They spent some time in the roof only to inform us there was no dead rat! Having experienced rat problems in the past I knew there was no mistaking that smell permeating the house. They took our money anyway. after doing absolutley nothing! Another company had… Read more

to be employed where they immediately discovered the deceased rodent! Mmm. After contacting this company to vent our displeasure we were rudely told that "That's life". What a scam beware!

Wasp Nest Removal – Highly recommend Pest Control Empire, fast response time and very well priced. Alan was very friendly and removed the wasp nest like it was nothing. Gave advice on what to look at out for after the removal was completed, what should happen now and what to look for in the future as well. All-round good service and would use them again.

Disgusted with customer service – I just contacted this company as I found it to be highly rated on Google. I have a moderate insect issue and need a pest control service. I spoke to [name removed] who suggested he come out tomorrow and asked me if I live in a one or two storey house. When I answered I live in a studio apartment, he said, forget it, he's not coming, that he would… Read more

'pass on this one', and he hung up the phone!!

How absolutely disgusting!!

So their company only deals with the wealthy and discriminates against someone for not owning a house?! I am just speechless.

Consumer affairs needs to hear about this as soon as possible.
