Pest control in West

Knut is preparing pest control coverage in West. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Pest control jobs you can request

Knut can send requests for general pest control, rodent control, termite service, or wasp or bee treatment to suitable local tradies who offer that service and cover the area. Be clear about which type of work you need, or describe what has prompted you to seek help if you are unsure which job type fits. The tradie can then consider the scope when preparing a quote. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to arrange maintenance across many properties. Pest control is newly available in this area.

How to brief your pest control job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you want it done. Include the type of pest control you are requesting, such as rodent control or a termite service, and explain the issue in plain terms. Photos can be useful if they help show what the job involves. A clear description gives suitable tradies information to consider when quoting, and helps Knut compare the quotes it receives against the job you described. You only need to describe the job once; Knut sends it to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review the quoted work and booking details before deciding whether to book through Knut.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare the quotes against the job you described and consider which one best fits its scope. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking through Knut. 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, so the check depends on the work being requested. If your needs change or a quote does not appear to cover the work you described, clarify the scope before booking.

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.
