Before you hire a pest controller
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Pest control pricing varies with:
- Property size. Larger homes require more product and time.
- Treatment type. Termite barriers cost significantly more than general pest treatments due to the materials involved.
- Access. Treating a home on stumped foundations is faster and cheaper than a fully enclosed concrete slab that requires drilling for chemical barriers.
- Pest type. Some pests (bed bugs, German cockroaches) require multiple visits that are priced as a program rather than a one-off callout.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring a pest controller in Emerton
Emerton (postcode 2770) is in the western part of Blacktown City, around Mount Druitt. A residential suburb in the Mount Druitt area, with a mix of older homes and some newer housing.
Older homes can have original pipes, wiring and roofing, and homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, for example in fibro sheeting. Tell the business the age of the home and any renovations, and ask how they'll handle anything they find once work starts.
Older homes with timber framing and subfloors can be vulnerable to termites, so regular inspections are worth considering. Make sure the inspector can reach the subfloor and roof space, and ask for a written report.
For a pest inspection in Emerton, make sure the inspector can reach the roof space and subfloor, and move stored items away from the walls. Ask for a written report that shows what was checked, what was found and what they recommend.
What to put in your request
Say which pest you've seen and where, or whether you need a termite inspection or a pre-purchase report. Mention the size of the home and whether the roof space and subfloor can be reached. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask for the technician's licence, the products they'll use and their safety data sheets, when it's safe for children and pets to return, and a written report after the inspection or treatment.
Licences and rules in NSW
Pest management technicians in NSW need a licence from the NSW Environment Protection Authority. Termite inspections and management should follow the Australian Standard AS 3660.
Pest control upkeep through the year
Keep garden beds, mulch, stored timber and moisture away from the walls of the house, fix leaking taps and pipes, and keep subfloor vents clear. Book termite inspections as your pest controller recommends, and keep the reports.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
