Excellent, very professional company. Very organised and disciplined They have a dedicated pre-service chat/email team that looks into what bugs you have. And puts together a detailed... read more quote before starting, with lots of detail and information about how to prepare before and after the service. Everything can be organised and done online too.

Very impressed with Pest Control Sydney. As arranged, Alex arrived at 7am on the dot (maybe even a few minutes early). Not only was he super friendly, engaging and... read more professional but he took the time to explain each step of the pest control process. He was very thorough with his work and was considerate of both our needs, as well as our neighbours'. I would not hesitate to recommend him, and in fact I have already recommended him to our friends down the street. I think weโve found our go-to man for our pest control needs!
