Local pest experts for homes and businesses

Whether you are protecting a busy household or running a growing business, pests are a disruption you simply don't need. Our local Rentokil technicians go beyond a quick fix—we inspect your property to find exactly what is attracting pests and track them to their hidden harbourage spots in roof spaces, subfloors, and wall cavities.

We believe the best way to handle a pest problem is to focus on long-term defence. By combining reliable treatments with smart prevention, we help safeguard your property and keep pest activity under control.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

  • Targeted treatments: Using specialised equipment to safely and effectively reduce active pest populations right at the source.
  • Pest-proofing & exclusion: Physically blocking pests from getting inside by sealing structural gaps, cracks, and weep holes.
  • Removing what attracts pests: Pests stick around when they have easy access to food and water. We help you cut off their supply by identifying hidden moisture, like dripping pipes, and sharing simple, effective ways to keep your pantry secure.
  • Tailored management plans: Custom strategies designed specifically for your building's layout and unique risks to lower the chance of future activity.

If you have noticed signs of unwanted guests, let our local experts step in and help you take back control before it becomes a major problem.

When should you book a pest inspection?

A pest inspection is worth booking when you spot signs of pest activity, before purchasing a property, or as part of an annual property check. Early identification helps reduce the chance of structural damage, hygiene issues, and costly repairs across Australian homes and businesses.

Common signs you need a pest inspection

Pests often leave clues before you actually see them. Booking a pest inspection is worth considering if you notice any of the following on your property:

  • Droppings in cupboards, drawers, roof voids, or along skirting boards
  • Gnaw marks on timber, wiring, food packaging, or stored goods
  • Mud tubes or tunnels on walls, foundations, or timber elements, which can indicate subterranean termite activity
  • Hollow sounding timber, sagging skirting boards, or blistered paintwork
  • Live insect sightings during the day, especially cockroaches, which often indicate larger hidden populations
  • Unusual odours coming from wall cavities, subfloors, or behind appliances
  • Rustling or scratching noises in walls or ceilings at night
  • Shed insect wings near windows, doors, or light fittings after warm weather
  • Damaged plants, disturbed lawn areas, or unsettled garden mulch close to the house

If any of these signs or situations apply to your property, contacting your local Rentokil branch for a pest inspection is worthwhile. Our licensed local technicians provide a written report, identify any active pest issues, and offer a no-obligation quote for any services suggested.

Frequently asked questions

DIY sprays only temporarily kill visible pests on contact and don't address hidden nests or entry points. Rentokil’s licensed experts diagnose the underlying cause, use professional-grade formulations unavailable to the public, and apply structural proofing to stop future infestations.

Further information

  • Root-cause detection: DIY treatments target symptoms; Rentokil targets breeding harbourages inside walls and timber.
  • Commercial-grade formulations: Licensed technicians use APVMA-regulated, target-specific solutions applied at precise dosages.
  • Advanced technology: Diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and microwave radar identify activity hidden behind plasterboard.

Rentokil acts as a proactive risk management partner for commercial clients by combining 24/7 digital pest monitoring with audit-ready reporting. Our solutions are designed to prevent operational downtime, safeguard your corporate reputation, and ensure you seamlessly satisfy regulatory bodies.

We protect your business through:

  • 24/7 digital monitoring (PestConnect): Our smart sensor technology provides round-the-clock protection, automatically sending immediate alerts the instant pest activity is detected on-site.
  • Audit-ready documentation (myRentokil): Easily maintain HACCP and regulatory compliance using our secure online portal, which provides instant access to site maps, trend analysis, and real-time compliance reports.
  • High-dependency industry specialisation: We deploy dedicated expert teams trained to support sectors with the strictest regulatory standards, including food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and healthcare.

Per Australian Standards (AS 3660.2), you should schedule a comprehensive professional termite inspection at least once every 12 months. However, the ideal frequency for general pest control depends entirely on your property type, industry, and environmental risk factors.

Here is the recommended schedule for effective pest management:

  • Residential properties: Annual inspections and management treatments are recommended to maintain an effective barrier against seasonal spider or cockroach surges and high-risk timber pests.
  • High-risk environments: Homes and businesses located in humid coastal regions or bordering bushland face higher pest pressure and often require semi-annual (6-monthly) inspections.
  • Commercial businesses: High-dependency industries—such as food retail, hospitality, and manufacturing—require continuous, year-round Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, typically involving monthly monitoring and reporting.

Compared to the manual way we used to work before, myRentokil is enabling us to access and use information for ongoing pest management and compliance
