Top Pest Control related questions
Most pest control jobs pay between $80 and $130, especially for common services like cockroach sprays or mice treatments in homes and units.
Higher-paying tasks (up to $500) usually involve:
Multiple pest types
(e.g. “cockroaches, fleas, fruit flies”)
Larger properties
(e.g. “3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house”)
Or repeat visits
Example: One customer in Mascot booked two treatments a week apart for $500 to deal with an ongoing issue.
Your price depends on:
The size of the property (“2-bed apartment” vs “4-bed house with yard”)
The type and number of pests (“German cockroaches”, “dead possum”, “fleas”)
Whether extra visits or follow-ups are needed
If customers request things like “pet-safe spray” or need an invoice for their real estate agent
Let customers know exactly what’s included, and if you bring your own gear, it helps them feel confident booking you.
Yes. There’s strong demand, especially in NSW and QLD suburbs like Paddington, Crows Nest, Granville, and Mermaid Beach.
Many tasks are one-off jobs like:
“Get rid of roaches in the kitchen”
“Possum in the ceiling”
“Need flea spray for end-of-lease”
You’ll also see repeat work for properties that need follow-up treatments or ongoing pest management.
Pest control tasks pop up all year, but you'll often see a spike:
Around lease changeovers or moving season
After wet weather (which can bring out pests)
In warmer months when bugs are more active
End-of-lease jobs tend to ramp up on weekends and at the end of each month, especially when customers post tasks like “bond clean + pest spray”.
Based on recent tasks, the most common jobs include:
Cockroach treatment
(especially German cockroaches)
Rodent control
(mice in kitchens or walls)
Possum removal
(“possum in the roof” is a common phrase)
Flea fumigation
(usually for rentals with pets)
Dead animal removal
(e.g. “dead possum in backyard”)
Jobs range from small unit sprays to larger home treatments, sometimes bundled with other services like cleaning.
Most customers expect:
Internal spray
for affected areas (e.g. “kitchen”, “bedroom”, “balcony”)
Advice on preparation (like moving appliances)
Pet-safe products
if requested
If it’s an end-of-lease job, make sure you offer a written receipt or certificate, as this is often a condition of getting their bond back.
Customers want someone who is:
Professional, friendly, and punctual
Clear about the pest types you cover
Willing to explain what’s happening and what to expect next
Phrases like “need someone reliable”, “pet-safe spray”, or “need this done today” come up a lot, so respond quickly and be specific in your offer.
A great way to earn more is to:
Offer bundled services
, like pest spray + end-of-lease clean
Mention follow-up treatments for tougher infestations
Let people know you can do invoicing for real estate agents
Customers love knowing you’re thorough and can help with “fleas and roaches” or “mice and spiders” in one go.
