Thank you to Adrian for his years of professional friendly service. My landlords are selling at the end of this year and hopefully the next occupants won't make you cry Adrian !!! lol from Tod St Gawler :) Show 3 replies
Very dissapointed – Bob Gunn / Termitrust / Termimesh installed the Exterra Interception and Baiting system at our rental property in 2009. Initial routine inspections were every 3 months then after no reported termite activity after aprox 6 years we went to quarterly inspections until June 2022 then after still no termite activity we cancelled the contract in late… Read more
July. Then in early December the vacuum cleaner went through the bedroom wall revealing a termite nest and significant damage to 2 walls and door frame. Termitrust inspected and stated all this damage occurred after the June inspection. With their special tool and considerable strength they removed the 2 station covers near the probable entry point to show that the special timber strips had been eaten/rotted away and that there was no longer a barrier. So I looked at the inspection reports to find that on the March 2022 inspection the report mentioned some stations were flooded but there was no termite activity and that there was no report for June. When I followed up on the June report it took several attempts to get one and when it arrived definitely looked like it had been hastily put together with most of the normal information missing. This was then followed up by a more believable report. Over the years their inspection service has varied from very good to poor depending on the operator they sent. On the few times we were there to monitor the inspection it was necessary to ask for the poor quality timbers to be replaced something we felt should have been done without asking. On other occasions a latter visit showed dirt or grass on the station had not been disturbed giving the impression that only some if any of the stations had been inspected but a report showed no activity. In conclusion I find it very hard to believe that the damage all happened after June inspection and feel that because they were aware we were not continuing the contract after July that the June inspection was either not carried out or done poorly with flooded and rotting timbers in those 2 stations not replaced. While it leaves a feeling of great disappointment that this happened so soon after cancelling the contract I cannot with absolute certainty say it was all down to Termitrust. What I can say is be very careful if you have an Exterra system installed or are planning to get one and make sure you take an active part in the inspections. In the end we went Termitrust to treat the termite infestation and to install a the Termidor barrier because they were prepared to do both treatments urgently before Xmas and offered a discounted price and from what I observed they did a thorough job.

Residue left on my painted concrete and ekodeck. CONSUMER BEWARE – Their products left residue and does not clean off. They have given that many promises and still no action. The cleaning they told me doesn’t work and it’s entrained in my ekodeck and will not remove unless you replace if. The painted concrete can’t be fixed unless you paint the lot as any attempts to put a industrial pressure washer on will… Read more
strip paint and erode the concrete.
Pathetic response irrespective of covid. This should of been prioritised.
0/10 care factor by then 0/10 to prioritise and make it right.
I’ll now get this repaired and send them the invoice

Worst Pest Control Ever Experienced – We used these for a house purchase. killed 2 birds with one stone in getting the pest inspection as well as pest control. (Malaga WA)That was done on 1st April. We did not move to the house until mid May. Once we moved in we found ants everywhere. When you first move home you dont think to jump on the phone straight away to sort ants out when you… Read more · 4
have removalists etc but i got around to contacting these guys only to be told warranty is one month... How pathetic is that. I have since contacted others who offer minimum 3 months. My advice....look elsewhere. I would not recommend these people at all and will never use them again I would like to update this review. Termitrust responded and listened to my particular circumstance and they attended site the very next day to perform a respray of the areas causing us concern. So I have re rated my experience with the company. It shows companies are willing to listen to you if you have a legitimate reason. Thank you Termitrust and thank you Karen
Termitrust is a “must” – Back in January this year I noticed a tiny sign that white ants were present in my home. I immediately contacted the Pest Controller I had dealt with over many years. Throughout the following six weeks he did his best to eradicate them but it proved to be a massive infestation and his efforts were to no avail. In desperation and sadly not before… Read more · 1
I had my beautiful timber floor pulled up I sought a second opinion. Termitrust was recommended to me.
Their “domestic supervisor” Barrie Price kindly contacted me and came to assess the situation. He was extremely knowledgeable with years of experience in this field and assured me he could eradicate the ants but depending on the size of the nest it could take some time. At this stage I could no longer live in my home and was in a very distressed state. Barrie was very supportive and cameevery two weeks to inspect progress with the “bait station” he had installed.
I am happy to say that after three months I am about two weeks away from moving back into my “restored” home.
It has been a nightmare but accolades to Barrie for his expertise and kind support. Thanks also to the two young men who were so friendly and respectful whilst doing a thorough job on the “perimeter barrier” around my home. I am extremely grateful!

No common sense! – Had a guy spray our place but couldn't complete the job as it was pouring with rain. He was very good and was very accommodating as i didn't want the baby's room sprayed. He said I would receive a call within the next day or 2 to reschedule the exterior spray. Well 10 days later and no call. A different guy then shows up one afternoon totally… Read more
unannounced and asks for a person who doesn't live here, apologises for having the wrong name and says he's here to complete the spray. He tells me to close all windows and doors as the spray is toxic and not safe. Some warning would've been good as we were frantically trying to get kids toys inside. Totally forgot to grab the washing off the line and now it smells of poison (3 loads of clothes and bedding, that now i need to rewash)!! Well the spray was done in about 10 minutes and as he gets to the last part of the house (the verandah) he sprays poison all over my potted herb garden! There goes the organic herbs. When i asked him why he just sprayed my herbs he apologised and said don't worry they won't die. I informed him that those were organic herbs, he told me he can spray water on them and it should be fine.
I found this totally unprofessional and I'm disgusted with the service (or should I say lack of service) we received.

Great Service by TermiPest – Initial booking was placed with Patrick (TermiPest) who was pleasant and friendly to deal with on the phone. Tim (TermiPest) was assigned to my job. When I got home my son handed me a note with all information that Tim had given my son regarding all the sprays and chemical, he used to treat all insects in and around my home. My son said Tim was… Read more · 1

Friendly but inadequate – After using Termitrust for a pest inspection and spray ($710), we thought we would be protected for the next 5 years. Wrong. We have already found a bull ant, and a mouse inside our house. This is despite asking the technician if he had seen any signs of mice. He denied seeing any. The next day we found numerous mouse droppings. Hopefully I am able to get this resolved, as Termitrust seem like a very friendly company. Show details

Unprofessional – had my house sprayed (spiders and ants) and literally the job was finished within 20 minutes. Half the house was not sprayed. to top it of I had leaking chemical running down my drive way only to stain and then be told that it will wash out in the rain. reception lady was very helpful and was told to take photos and text them over which i did. I… Read more
was then told a manager would contact me............a week later nothing so I sent a text indicating that I would no longer be back as a customer. to top that off i just received a phone call from the manager asking me why i had sent the text and why didn't I pick up the phone and call them. My response was I was asked to text through photos in the first place and suddenly you have picked up the phone to call me but nothing for a week. no intention to help the situation other than brush it off. extremely poor service and management. Would not recommend at all.
Waste of money – I had them come out and do a pest inspection and spray. First, they didn't tell me that I needed to empty my kitchen cupboards (even though I asked before I booked it in and they said no) just to have the guy who came say "Oh they should have told you" and moved on. Then the inspection he said that I had no termites in the house. Something… Read more
wasn't sitting right with me and I wasn't happy with the inspection so I decided to save up and get a new one with a different company.
Turns out I have termites and they are in the house, and out the backyard in some logs.
So I am now looking at spending a minimum of $7500 to have them all killed and to get a builder in to make sure that everything is safe and stable.
So thank you Termitrust you do not live up to your name and I will never recommend you to anyone.

tell me the technician was now having a day off on 22/01/2018. When I stated I revieved no such text or call, once again I was rudely told I had. When I asked what number they had called, I had never heard of the mobile number. The lady told me that I had updated my mobile details, so I did get a call and text and indicated I was lying. I again stated it was not my mobile number they called. After a huff and puff from tnis rude woman, she stated, "I supposed I now have to take the blame for that. I wasn't even here on Friday." When I asked when can they come and do the pest control, I was told not at least until next week. So absolutely no attempt to right their wrong. I couldn't take this rude and abnoxious woman any longer, so I just hung up. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH THIS COMPANY. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG WITH THIS COMPANY. DO NOT USE THEM. PLENTY OF OTHER COMPANIES THAT DON'T TREAT YOU LIKE GARBAGE.

Good, just disappointed after last attemp to book service – We have used TermiTrust for last 3 years every 6 month after moving to Australia from overseas.

Unfortunately last time when I called I was told that it would cost me $100 more then it used to. Although I agree that our propetry is on the bigger side, I can't justify payging nearly double then I used to twice a year. Such a shame as I have used someone else and it is nowhere near as good although price is very close to what I am used to pay.
Only seen dead spiders since – I booked with Termitrust because they had a special on - 299 for termite inspection and pest spray. I haven't seen spiders since, only dead ones. The guy spent the appropriate amount of time here. Looking to get them in for the termite baiting as well. Show reply
Spider treatment encouraged them to grow bigger and come in greater numbers – Had my house treated on 03/01/17 as part of the termite inspection deal. Spiders came back within weeks bigger and in greater numbers than before, Called the company to request a refund for that portion of the service on 30/01 to be told the manager would call me back. He didn't, so called again on 20/02 to be told either [name removed] or [name… Read more

by another company the previous years with excellent long lasting results so I have since contacted another company to come and treat my pests.
Termitrust has since contacted me very promptly and advised that if i had contacted them directly they would have organized to come back as they do have a 3 month guarantee and its up to the phone operator at time of booking to mention it. I suggested that they don't rely on the operator and instead put it in their contract which they took on board which was great.

from and what time I should expect him. This was then followed up by a text message reminder the day before. Today the technician (Nicholas) arrived to do our regular pest control. He arrived right on time, greeted me and explained what he was going to do and asked if we had any questions. The technician was very thorough and his work ethics is to be commended especially having to get up in ceilings in these really hot conditions. Just took it all in his stride. He went through a detail report of the work he had completed and what steps we should take if we had any questions or concerns with the products used or warranty. Payment was easy as he was able do it all electronically on the Ipad. I would certainly recommend the service/company and will be requesting Nicholas again for our next inspection if his available.
Aggressive thugs of the industry – Absolutely disgraceful conduct from a bunch of bananas that couldn't be trusted to operate a doorbell let-alone a motor vehicle, let-alone be trusted to keep your building safe from pests. Good operators are out there, but this mob certainly is not one of them.

More "Disgusting Service" and account keeping with no invoice or report, then letter from Debt Colle – We engaged Termitrust in 2015 to conduct annual termite inspection as we have done in other years. The technician attended in February 2015 and indicated after the inspection that the company would provide an invoice. Life ticked on by with no invoice provided. In February 2016, we contacted Termitrust to conduct another annual review and were… Read more
advised that they do not have our details on file (?) We took our business to Rent-to-Kill. In June 2016, we were called by Termitrust to remind us that our annual review was due. I informed them that we took our business elsewhere due to their indication that we are not on their records. The Termitrust rep then stated that 'by the way, you haven't paid your invoice from February last year (2015)". No invoice was sent after this call or at any time in 2015 (some 16 months ago). On 19 September 2016, and in the absence of ANY further contact from Termitrust, we received a debt collections notice demanding payment of the invoice from February 2015.
We immediately paid the amount to avoid any protracted legal battle and sent a detailed letter to Termitrust informing them of the circumstances. At no stage did we receive an invoice in 2015 or even again when the caller from Termitrust contacted us in June this year (2016) to drum annual review business and inform us of our unpaid invoice.
In the mail yesterday (27 September) was a copy of the 2015 invoice and Termite Inspection Report, as we requested with no acknowledgement of my letter, its contents, their poor service and account keeping or even a receipt for payment.
We will never recommend this company to anyone. It seems that our sentiments are echoed on this forum from other disappointed customers.
Disgusting services – I am absolutely disgusted in your services!! My first pest control treatment was on the 5/06/15 and since then I have NEVER been cockroach free. I called for someone to come out again in January 2016 because my infestation was getting much worse and again in March 2016 because I hadn't seen any difference. Then when I call again this month because… Read more
the infestation was worse I was handed over to the manager at Brisbane termitrust (Andria) she said there's nothing they can do because I'm suppose to get a work order from my real estate yet the last 2 times that they had come out I wasn't asked about a work order so they clearly weren't doing there jobs properly and their was apparently a work order for when they came out in January (which is impossible because I had changed realestates) so now I'm stuck to fork out money for pest control because you's obviously don't know how to do your jobs properly. My point of view is that you's try and do whatever you can to avoid your warranties because I'm still under warranty and you's refuse to do anything about it!!!
Happy – I have stations set up around the house that were installed about six years ago and I am happy with the service. I have had a couple of accounting problems with them but on the whole I am pleased.
Terrible customer service!!!! – Just rang to enquire on getting a quote for a termite inspection and the woman was completely rude and treated me as if i was stupid! Hence I will not even be getting them out for a quote - very rude and unfriendly. Do not recommend them at all!!!
Great company and service – been using these guys for years at my property in Cottesloe -service has been great as has lack of pests!
