Pest Control Pricing and Warranties
Prices and services will vary from company to company, and from job to job.
For a regular pest inspection most companies will charge for a pest inspection - you may find a few that do not.
An initial inspection can check for common pests such as cockroaches, spiders, rodents and fabric pests, and may take a couple of hours. Termite inspection may also be included for the same price. Remember, however, that the lowest price is not necessarily the best price.
Cost for any pest inspection will depend on things such as:
- The number of rooms in a house.
- The size of the property, and whether there are garages, sheds, gardens, pools etc to check.
- The age, building type and condition of the house.
- The price of any treatment will be worked out on a case-by-case basis.
Warranties
It's a competitive world out there, and some companies will offer money-back guarantees, extended warranties, free service period etc.
This is all well and good, but it's wise to be aware that long-term protection varies greatly from pest to pest, and home to home. For example, for some pests such as possums and birds, it is possible to eradicate them and put in place physical barriers that will prevent them from being able to return. The pest control company will quite rightly insist that that is part of the treatment, which they will carry out. Once such proofing is done, they should be able to offer some sort of warranty.
However, pest control is generally not a quick, once-over miracle cure. Before you go ahead with any treatment, check:
- Is any warranty or service period offered?
- How long it will take for a treatment to take effect?
- Will dead insects or rodents etc. need to be cleaned up?
- Will there be any odours?
- Will follow-up treatments be necessary?
