All prices are fixed and GST-inclusive. Essential covers apartments and small homes. Standard suits most Brisbane houses. Premium is for large homes, high-risk properties, or severe infestations. Termite inspection pricing differs — see the termite page for details.
Each pest type requires different products, methods, and visit structures. These are the full details behind each price tier for every service we offer.
Every property is different. These are the six factors that most significantly influence what you'll pay for pest control — and why fixed-price transparency matters.
The most significant pricing factor. An apartment requires significantly less product, time, and coverage than a four-bedroom house with a subfloor and large yard. Our Essential ($130), Standard ($250), and Premium ($350) tiers are specifically calibrated to property size — not upsold arbitrarily.
Different pests require completely different treatments. German cockroaches need professional gel bait — standard spray makes them worse. Fleas require an IGR combined with adulticide. Termites require specialist inspection equipment. The pest determines the method, which determines the price.
A minor spider problem around the eaves costs less to treat than a severe infestation throughout the property requiring additional product volume, repeat visits, and more intensive application. Early treatment is always cheaper — act at the first sign rather than waiting until the problem is established.
A single treatment is priced per visit. Ongoing programs (quarterly or annual) often provide better value for high-risk properties — particularly those near bushland, stormwater drains, or food businesses. Ongoing programs also include monitoring visits that catch new activity early.
Treatments that include the roof void (rodents, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish) and subfloor require additional time, equipment, and product volume. Properties with difficult roof void access or no subfloor hatch may require alternative placement approaches, which is assessed at inspection.
Licensed pest controllers use commercial-grade, TGA-registered products not available to the public. These cost more per unit than supermarket products but are significantly more effective, longer-lasting, and formulated at the correct concentration. This is a core part of what you pay for — and why professional treatment works when DIY doesn't.
Supermarket sprays and DIY bombs can seem cheaper upfront — but for most infestations they provide only temporary relief and the problem returns within weeks. Here is an honest comparison.
| DIY / Supermarket | Professional Treatment | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower ($20–$60) | $130–$350 fixed price |
| Long-term cost | Higher — repeat purchases | Single treatment, warranty included |
| Product strength | Retail-grade (diluted) | Commercial-grade, licensed products |
| Targets all life stages | Adults only (eggs survive) | All life stages addressed |
| Correct species diagnosis | Guesswork | Accurate ID before treatment |
| Entry point identification | Not included | Inspection + written report |
| Written warranty | None | 3–6 month written warranty |
| German cockroach treatment | Sprays make worse | Correct gel bait protocol |
| Roof void / subfloor access | Not possible | Full coverage including voids |
| Time required | Repeated applications | Single visit in most cases |
The verdict: For minor ant trails or occasional spiders on the eaves, DIY products can provide short-term relief. For established infestations of cockroaches (especially German cockroaches), fleas, rodents, or termites — professional treatment is significantly more cost-effective over a 3–6 month period and the only reliable solution.
