Inspection
Upon our arrival, you will be greeted by one of our friendly pest control technicians. Before we begin the inspection, we will discuss your pest issue with you. This ensures we are well informed so we can determine the best course of action. Some of the things we will discuss with you, include:
- Pest species
- Location
- Reason for activity (why the pest is there to begin with)
- Treatment options
- Budget

However, during every inspection we are not afraid to get down and dirty to ensure we are conducting a thorough and detailed inspection. Areas of inspection may include:
- Roof voids
- Subfloors
- Gardens
- Sheds
- Internal and external areas of building
ย
Treatment
Once the inspection has been completed, the pest control professional will inform the client of their findings and recommendations for treatment. We will provide several different options, based on the best course of action, budget and any other concerns you have.
Our technicians are trained to use various techniques and products to treat your pest control concerns, depending on the level of infestation and the location. We understand pest control is not a one-size-fits-all measureโฆ and therefore, we tailor each pest control job to ensure the best results every time!
After you agree upon a treatment plan, the technician will walk you through each step, so you are fully informed of the process that is to be performed. Additionally, they will discuss with you what they require from you to ensure you and your family are kept safe.
ย
Reporting and Follow Up ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
Upon completion of the treatment, you will be provided with full reporting outlining the service and any other future recommendations to prevent future pest infestations. Not only do we want to help you eliminate your pest control problem, but we also want to prevent you from experiencing it again.
Our professional technicians will inform you if you require any follow up treatments. We will also contact you when your next suggested treatment is due, so you do not need to worry about having to remember to rebook in! We want to make all of your pest control issues as stress-free as possible, which, to us, includes not only the treatment, but also the follow up process.
Yes! At The Local Guys โ Pest Control, we are confident in our practices. This is why we offerย free service periods on all of our services. The length of these warranty periods vary depending on the service provided. For example, a cockroach free service warranty is 3 months after the initial service date (conditions apply). Therefore, if you are still seeing live cockroach activity within this period of time, all you need to do is give us a call and the technician will return and retreat until the problem has been rectified to your satisfaction.
In regard to termite protection, we also deal with Australian leaders in termite management systems, such as Exterra. Exterra offers a $250,000 timber replacement warranty on homes that have their termite management system installed (conditions apply).

At The Local Guys โ Pest Control, we are competitive with our pricing. This is why we believe we are more affordable than our competitors. We understand pest control can be a costly expense โ that often comes at the worst times and requires immediate attention. We also understand that a lot of pest control issues are not the clientโs fault. For these reasons we aim to provide the highest-standard service possible for a reasonable cost. Additionally, unlike some other franchises, at The Local Guys โ Pest Control we have much lower overheads. This is because each of our technicians are local small business owners. Lower overheads, mean lower costs for the consumer.
If you receive a cheaper written quote elsewhere, you may discuss price matching with the technician (at the discretion of the technician).
The Local Guys โ Pest Control have a range of different payment options available. Not only do we take cash payments, but each technician also has EFTPOS payments available for on the day payment. Commercial businesses may pay on the day or receive an invoice to be paid at a later date (dependant on technicianโs terms).

A pest control expert willย alwaysย provide more effective results than a DIY treatment. Many people try DIY treatments because they believe it will be cheaper and more convenientโฆ However, the reality of DIY pest treatments:
- Only provide temporary fixes:ย This may feel like you are saving money, however, as the issue is only being band-aided, in the long run you will spend more time and money trying to find the best treatmentโฆ and often eventually will call in a professional anyway. Think of the time and money that could have been saved if you contacted a professional pest controller from the start!
- Can be dangerous: When a professional pest controller treats your home, they are trained and experienced. DIY treatments can be dangerous when your inexperienced and dealing with dangerous chemicals and potentially dangerous pests.
- Are not used by someone with a trained eye: Anyone can use a DIY treatment without understanding what they are actually treating and the requirements to eradicate the concern effectively. A pest controller has been trained to correctly determine the best treatment plans for every situation.
- Can have legal ramifications: When dealing with protected species, such as possums, you need to be licenced and have the correct knowledge around government regulations set in place to protect Australiaโs wildlife. Not abiding by these laws (including removing or mis-baiting) can lead to major fines.
For a short period after your treatment, you will still see pests as they are being forced from their hiding places. This is a part of the treatment process. Once you start seeing dead pests around your home, this is a sign of the treatment doing its job.
If, for any reason, you continue to see live activity within your free service period, notify your technician and they will happily come and retreat the problem areas, until your satisfaction.
Although unlikely, an odour can occur after a rodent baiting treatment. If this is the case, please notify your pest control technician. As a part of our free service period, we will return to your premise to rectify the concern.
It is a recommendation as per the Australian Standard that your home/ business is inspected every 12 months as a minimum for termite activity. For general pests, this can be completed at your discretion, however, we recommend you have an inspection/ service completed every 6 months. Regular inspections are a part of prevention! Prevention is better than treatment as you are protecting your home/business before the problem occurs.

- Entering through an open door or window
- Transported in via laundry, groceries, second-hand furniture, pets, etc
- Cracks and crevices
If you are finding pests in your home, you should also consider why they are present as well as how they are getting inside. Factors which may increase the attraction of pests in your home may include:
- Food and water sources
- Cleanliness
- Pets
- Warmth and shelter
- As a result of another pest issue (birds nesting can bring bird mites into your home)
Yes! All of our technicians provide bee relocation options (dependant on the clientโs preferences and the hiveโs accessibility) to ensure their safety. Due to extinction concerns, we make a conscious effort to protect their existence. We understand bees are important to our ecosystem, which is why we work closely with beekeepers.

- Scratching
- Scurrying
- Gnawing
- Movement
- Screeching
If you are unsure of what pest it is making these noises, At The Local Guys โ Pest Control, we say:
