    Rick from The Pest Guy did an absolutely amazing job! From the moment he arrived, he was friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable about what he was doing. He quickly identified the issue, explained everything in detail, and made sure the treatment was safe and effective. What really stood out was his attention to detail and genuine care — he went above and beyond to make sure all my questions where answered in detail and provided me with tips on how to get rid of snails whilst keeping my dogs safe. I can’t recommend Rick and The Pest Guy highly enough — truly five-star service!

    We unfortunately had birds nesting in our roof again after we previously had the house bird proofed by a different company. Ricky came out and was quickly able to clear out the nests/mess in our roof and also bird proof the offending area properly. He was very friendly, super efficient and also very affordable! Thanks again Ricky!

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.
Does The Pest Guy have a verified ABN?
Yes. The Pest Guy has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
