Termite treatment

Termidor-accredited inspections, in-ground barriers and annual monitoring — the pest that does the most damage before anyone sees it.

Spider control

Redbacks, white-tails, huntsmans and the funnel-webs Canberra actually gets. Web knockdown plus a residual barrier on the entry points.

Cockroach control

German cockroaches breeding in the kitchen need a different program to the Australian ones walking in from the subfloor.

Ant control

Black ants, Argentine ants and coastal browns. Gel bait inside, perimeter barrier outside, trails broken along the run line.

Rodent control

Roof rats in the ceiling, house mice in the wall cavity. Baiting, trapping and proofing the gaps they got in through.

Bird control

Pigeons and starlings on roof lines, solar panels and signage. Netting, spikes and one-way exclusion rather than poison.

Wasp & bee removal

European wasp nests, paper wasps under the eaves, and bee swarms relocated rather than destroyed wherever we can.

Silverfish & moth control

Paper pests in wardrobes, linen presses and storerooms, treated at the harbourage instead of only where you saw them.

Bed bug treatment

Confirmed identification first, then a staged treatment of beds, frames and surrounds with a follow-up visit built in.

Flea control

Usually the pet, sometimes the previous tenant. Carpet, bedding and yard treated on the flea life cycle, not just once.

Possum removal

Brush-tails are protected under ACT law — licensed one-way exclusion and roof proofing, never relocation.

Stored product pest control

Pantry moths, weevils, borers and carpet beetles in flour, grain, dry goods and natural fibres.

Earwig control

Damp garden beds and mulch lines push earwigs indoors after rain. Perimeter and harbourage treatment at the source.

Slater control

Slaters and pill bugs under pavers, pots and mulch, moving inside through weep holes and worn door seals.

Millipede control

Portuguese millipedes swarm in autumn after rain. Barrier treatment at the entry line before they get inside.

Mud wasp control

Mud nests in weep holes, vents, sheds and roller-door housings, removed and the surface treated against return.

Mosquito & fly control

Harbourage treatment plus the standing water breeding them — gutters, pot bases, tanks and blocked drains.

Ladybug & occasional invader control

Cluster invaders that arrive in numbers on warm walls and windows, then work their way inside for winter.

[02] Before we treat

The questions you usually ask first.

Three things every Canberra customer wants to know before they book — whether the pest is even something we treat, whether the product is safe around kids and pets, and what paperwork you'll have to show for it.

Not sure what pest?

Describe what you're seeing — droppings, damage, sightings — and we'll identify the species on the first visit and send a written quote before any treatment starts.
