    I was dealing with a pest issue and called Probest as they were the first pest control company to pop up. John was very patient with my query, and told me how it would be resolved. He promptly arrived at our property and handled the matter professionally. He walked us through the step by step process and was mindful that we had a dog & what we should look out for. Highly and without a doubt would recommend Probest for all your pest control needs! ☺️

    I rarely write reviews, but I felt this one was truly deserved. I reached out for pest control last month because my house had a serious ant problem. From the moment he arrived, I was impressed by his professionalism — he even took off his shoes before entering, which I really appreciated as an Asian household. He was very thorough, carefully spraying every corner of the house. Within three weeks, all the ants were completely gone, and my home has been ant‑free since. Later, I noticed a lot of ants on my lemon tree in the backyard (my own mistake for not clearing those rotten lemons on the tree). When I asked him about it, he was incredibly kind and offered to come back to take a look. He returned without hesitation and treated the tree as well. Overall, his service, attitude, and attention to detail were outstanding. Highly recommended.

    I reached out to John in desperation for rodent control. We had a pest control service done 10 days ago, but just a few nights later, I heard chirping noises in my yard around 11 pm. When I switched on the lights, I saw a rat on my deck! At first, I thought it might have been a one-off visitor, but three days later, I found suspicious droppings around the yard and noticed a very strong urine odor in one corner. Although I’ve been using a large pest control company for years, I was hesitant to contact them because the last two services they performed—one four months ago and one 10 days ago—had not been very satisfactory. So, I did some research and found John. I called him and explained the situation, emphasizing the urgency. It was a Saturday, the first day of a long weekend, and John offered to come the very next morning (Sunday)! When he arrived, he carefully inspected my yard and patiently taught me how to distinguish possum droppings from rat droppings. Since I have a dog, John was very thoughtful in deciding where to place the bait stations, ensuring my pet’s safety. I asked many questions about rodents and pests in general, and he answered each one thoroughly. When I mentioned seeing a cockroach indoors after last week’s pest control and asked whether it made sense to hire him for a full service, he advised me to contact my current provider instead, as it should be covered under warranty. He did not try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge to generate more business. Even a few hours after leaving, when I realized I had forgotten to ask something, John responded promptly to my follow-up. I highly recommend John for any pest issues. I will definitely be using his services again when my next pest control is due!

    John came to remove and treat a wasp nest in our letterbox. Little did we know there were actually three nest being built inside. John was quick and efficient, he explained what he was going to do and got the job done. Great communication, affordable price & positive experience all round. Would recommend. Thanks John!

    I’m extremely happy with the pest control they did for my vacate clean. They sprayed the entire house, set monitoring points and emailed the report directly to the agent. Highly recommended.

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.
