Pest control in South Sydney and St George

Knut is preparing pest control coverage in South Sydney and St George. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Pest control jobs you can request

The type of pest issue helps determine what work to request. Knut can connect you with tradies offering general pest control, rodent control, termite services, and wasp or bee treatment. If you are unsure which service fits, describe what you have noticed rather than guessing at the cause. Include where the issue is occurring and whether it is inside or outside, if you know. For property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams, Knut can also be used to organise maintenance across many properties. The right scope will depend on the job details and the tradies’ assessment.

How to brief a pest control job

A clear description gives tradies useful context when preparing a quote. Say what you have seen, where it is happening and when you first noticed it. Mention whether the problem is in one area or more than one, and describe any access details that could affect the work. Photos can help show what you are dealing with, but only share them if useful. If you are requesting work for a managed property, identify the property and explain who will coordinate access. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Once you decide to book, you pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie’s quoted price for the work. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. The quotes Knut receives are compared, and a tradie is recommended on merit based on how well they fit the job. Check the quote and scope before booking so you understand what work it covers.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare each quote against the problem you described: check that the proposed work matches the service you need and note any differences in scope. You can message the tradie through Knut and follow progress in one place after booking. Some pest control jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state; Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. If you are unsure whether a proposed service addresses your concern, ask the tradie to explain what is included before you book. For immediate danger to life or property, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

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.
