General Questions
How much does pest control cost?
Pest control pricing depends on the type of service you need (residential, commercial, or termite), the severity of the infestation, and the size of the property. We provide honest, upfront quotes with no hidden costs, and offer affordable options for all property types. Contact us today for a tailored quote.
What types of pests do you treat?
Our team handles a wide range of pest issues, including cockroaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, and termites. Rodent control and other specialty pests are available as add-ons or within custom service plans. All treatments are adjusted to suit the type and level of infestation.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes! We use child-safe and pet-friendly products in all general pest and termite treatments. Our technicians are fully licensed and follow industry best practices to ensure your home or workplace remains safe before, during, and after treatment.
How long does a treatment take?
Most residential and commercial general pest treatments are completed within 45–60 minutes. Termite treatments may take longer depending on the method used. We’ll let you know the expected duration before we begin.
Will I need to leave the property during treatment?
Not usually. For most general pest treatments, you can remain onsite. If your treatment requires specific preparation or temporary vacating (e.g., for some termite solutions), we’ll provide clear instructions ahead of time.
What happens if pests return after treatment?
We offer a pest-free guarantee on all services. If you experience recurring issues within the warranty period, our team will return to retreat your property at no additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control
We’ve spent over a decade protecting Brisbane homes from termites. Here’s what our clients ask most often about inspections, treatments, and prevention.
How often should I book a termite inspection?
At least once a year. Brisbane’s humid climate makes homes highly vulnerable to termite activity, with early detection as a key to avoiding major damage.
What’s included in a termite inspection?
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden termite activity in walls, floors, and roof spaces. You’ll receive a detailed report and prevention advice.
What treatment options do you offer if termites are found?
Depending on the situation, we may use foaming, dusting, bait stations (Trelona or Exterra), or a chemical barrier. We’ll recommend the most effective solution for your property.
Are your termite treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Our technicians are fully licensed and use products that are safe for families when applied correctly. We follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods to minimise chemical use.
Do you guarantee your termite work?
Yes. All termite services are backed by a pest-free guarantee. If activity reappears within the warranty period, we’ll return to retreat at no extra charge.
