Common pest control jobs
In Melbourne East, the most common pest control jobs we see are general pest control for ants, spiders and cockroaches around the home, rodent control for rats or mice in roofs, ceilings or under floors, termite service including inspections and barrier treatments, and wasp or bee treatment for nests in walls, roofs or gardens. Each job is different depending on the property type, the pests involved and whether it's a one-off treatment or an ongoing service.
How to brief your pest control job
When describing your job, include the type of property (house, townhouse, unit), the areas affected, the pests you've seen and when you noticed them. Photos help the tradie assess the situation before quoting. Mention any previous treatments, pets or children on site, and whether you need a one-off visit or regular service. The more detail you give upfront, the more accurate the quotes you'll receive will be.
