What an honest quote looks like

Three things every pest control quote should tell you

The price, before you book

Ask whether an inspection is needed and whether any inspection fee applies. Every job above has a published modelled range to compare it against.

Whether materials are in

The biggest hidden variable. The Materials column above shows when they're typically extra. Always confirm in writing.

Whether GST is in

Most quotes here are GST-inclusive, but always confirm so you compare like for like.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a fair flat-rate price for pest control work?+

It depends on the job. 9 common pest control jobs and their modelled price ranges are listed above, from $120 for the smallest jobs up to several thousand for the largest. A price inside a modelled range does not establish fair value or provider quality.

Should pest control quotes include materials?+

Materials can change the basis of a comparison. Each job above shows whether materials are typically included, charged extra, or sometimes extra. Always ask the question directly before comparing two prices.

Why do some pest control quotes look 10% cheaper?+

Often GST. Confirm whether the supplier is GST-registered and whether GST is included. Check the ATO for registration rules. Always confirm whether a quote is GST-inclusive.

How do I avoid being overcharged?+

Check the job against the range above, get the scope in writing, confirm materials and GST, and run any quote through our free Quote Check. A modelled range alone cannot establish whether a provider is overcharging.
