    I cannot put Carla and Michael on a higher pedestal. Their professionalism, work ethic, honesty and customer service is unfathomably above board. Carla moved mountains to make our inspection time work within our contract time frame, supporting our every query, every step of the way. Michael meticulously encountered every single detail that ended up saving us potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. With every answer was warmth, kindness and no shame in understanding our options. If you are buying a property - do not go to anybody else. These guys are worth every penny from the first phone call to the late night check ins after your inspection. Thank you Carla and Michael!

    Cairns Pre Purchase Building Reports have been nothing short of 5 star worthy! I have engaged them half a dozen times in the last couple of years and 100% happy with each and every inspection and report, whether I choose to go ahead with the purchase or not. I can meet them onsite at the end of the inspection and go over what they have found, to discuss how serious it might be and and then make a properly informed decision on the purchase. I have had both Kevin and more recently his son, Michael, carry out the inspections and the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Both are extremely thorough Lastly, I cant do a review without also championing Carla, always happy to help and the very best of customer service. I can genuinely feel her smiling through the phone. A true local family business. I highly recommend these guys for any pre purchase inspections. I would not make a puchase now without them.

    Thankyou Michael and Carla for providing a very detailed report which guided me to make my decision of investing $700K into a home that was not for me. Your patience and help was more than anyone would normally provide, you go over and above your service limits and I appreciated that to the fullest. The detail of the inspection was what I needed to see and hear to take the next step. I do not hesitate in recommending their business for an honest appraisal of a property. Too good Michael and Carla, five stars from me.

    Cairns Prepurchase Building Reports and Pest Services were great. All of my dealings with both Clara and Michael were phenomenal. Michael walked me through all the items on the building and pest report and delivered the full report very quickly. They were integral in our decision to buy our first home. We could not be happier with the service. If/when we buy another place, we will definitely be contacting the team again. Thank you for all of your help.

    Dear Carla and Michael, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful service you both provided. Firstly, thank you, Carla, for organising the inspection and for your honest advice. I truly appreciated your integrity β€” you could have easily suggested both a building and pest inspection and charged me for both, but instead, you gave me genuine guidance about what was necessary for my new build. That honesty really stood out to me. Then I met Michael on the day of the inspection. He was incredibly thorough, professional, and detailed in his assessment. Despite the scorching heat, he patiently explained everything to me, step by step. As someone who has no knowledge about these things, I was so grateful for the time and care he took to help me understand. Michael went above and beyond β€” not only inspecting the property but also offering practical advice and recommendations on how to address issues with the seller. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients and treats them like family. Thank you both once again for your honesty, professionalism, and kindness. The world needs more people like you! πŸ˜Šβ€οΈπŸ™πŸ‘βœ¨

    Fantastic service by Michael and Carla. We arranged a pre-purchase building and pest inspection at short notice and Carla made it happen. Michael was extremely thorough and spent the time to take us through the property results in detail in person, which was really reassuring and helpful. The report was very detailed with heaps of photos and notes. It enabled us to understand immediate and short term maintenance costs and put our mind to rest about big ticket items. Very appreciative and very glad we found Michael and Carla. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions

How much do pest controllers typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the pest type, how extensive the infestation is, property access and whether follow-up visits are needed. Most pest controllers charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, with materials and repeat treatments adding to the total. The prices shown on this page update live to help you compare current rates.
Do pest controllers charge call-out fees?
Many pest controllers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess your property, which is usually separate from labour and materials. After-hours, weekend or emergency attendance often attracts higher rates. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do pest controllers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Pest control work generally must be carried out by a licensed pest controller in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW licensing is administered by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (NSW). Providers should display a valid state pest management licence and often hold industry credentials such as AEPMA membership or PestCert accreditation, public liability insurance and an ABN with GST registration. Many also provide a written service report and chemical usage log after treatment.
