Pest control in Inner Melbourne
Knut is preparing pest control coverage in Inner Melbourne. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Common pest control jobs
Pest control can cover general treatment, rodent control, termite services, and wasp or bee treatment. When you describe the job, say which kind of issue you have noticed and where it is occurring. If you are unsure what is causing it, explain what you have seen rather than trying to identify the pest yourself. This helps a tradie understand the request and whether the service they offer fits. For property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams, Knut can also be used to organise maintenance across many properties. Each request should make clear which property needs attention and what you want checked or treated.
How to brief your pest control job
Describe the issue once, including what needs doing, where the problem is, and when you would like the work done. Explain where you have noticed pest activity and whether the request is for general pest control, rodents, termites, or wasps or bees. Add photos if they would help show the issue or the affected area. If there are several properties involved, identify which ones need work and give the details for each. A clear brief helps Knut send the request to suitable local tradies who cover Inner Melbourne and offer that service. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. When you book through Knut, you pay Knut's booking fee at booking and the tradie's quoted price for the work. Customers pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review the tradie's quote for the work details before you decide to book.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described. Check that the proposed service matches the issue—such as rodent control or termite service—and ask the tradie to clarify anything you do not understand before booking. Some jobs in this trade need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. You can message the tradie through Knut and follow progress in one place. Once you choose to proceed, booking is through Knut; the booking fee is paid to Knut and the quoted price for the work is paid for the tradie's work.
Knut's booking fee
Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
