From start to finish the team at Peter the Possum man were professional and friendly. They managed to not just install lovely new insulation & solar vent, but also thoroughly clean out our old Queenslanders roof in blazing heat! Removing tonnes of cool n cosy, as well as all sorts of junk ex-owners had decided to leave up there for us as a surprise! As an added bonus they fixed some aircon vents that were ill-fitted which makes everyone in the house extremely happy! Thank you Shane and the team! You guys are legends!

Absolutely thrilled with the service from the team at Peter the Possum Man! We had a multi-part project, from dealing with some unwelcome rats to completely overhauling our roof insulation. What stood out was how easy and stress-free they made everything. They were incredibly quick to schedule each stage, and their communication was refreshingly honest and clear. We couldn't be happier with the result and would happily and highly recommend them to anyone.

The team were easy to communicate with and prompt in helping us get rid of the wasp nests around our home. Price was reasonable too. Thanks!

My sanity has been saved by engaging with Peter the Possum Man and his helpful team. We built a new house and installed solar panels, which the local pigeon population thought was a delightful new home from them. All day I would hear pigeons cooing and pooing from my roof. Communication with the team was great. We had the solar panels cleaned the day before the pigeon proofing was installed. The installer sent photos to confirm the job had been finished. The pigeons no longer have an area to roost and nest under. I am a very satisfied customer and would definitely recommend this service.

Selling our rental property and the B&P came back that the gutters were blocked. I’m always forgetting to look up - timely reminder that clean gutters is an important but often overlooked chore. Being two storey, not an easy job to do either. Contacted Pete the Possum Man online and it was ridiculously easy. Admin contacted me back, put me in touch with Shane and he coordinated everything. Sent through before and after shots… we really could have jacked up the selling price and advertised our ‘rooftop garden’. What a mess! But fortunately no more. Shane was efficient, contact was fast and professional. And they did a great job. 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.
