Pricing guide
Total cost depends on the pest type and infestation severity plus whether structural access or licensed products are needed. Callout fees, time on site and any after‑hours attendance typically increase the overall price. Sensitive sites or multi‑stage treatments often require extra compliance and follow‑up visits that add to the scope.
Pest type and infestation size
Common spot infestations are usually resolved faster than heavy or widespread infestations, which often need more time and treatments.
Structural access and location
Work in roof voids, subfloors or wall cavities typically requires specialist access, safety measures and longer onsite time.
Use of licensed chemicals or equipment
Licensed products, fumigation or specialist equipment usually require a technician with specific licences and extra procedures or documentation.
Number of visits and follow‑ups
Standard profiles commonly cover a single visit, while confirmed heavy infestations or staged treatments often require multiple visits quoted separately.
Timing, site sensitivity and compliance
Kitchens, childcare or food‑handling sites typically need food‑safe products, extra documentation and may require out‑of‑hours scheduling or stricter procedures.
