A common question that we get asked is: “How much does pest control cost in Sydney?” And the truth is that it varies greatly, depending on which pest control company that you hire, where in Sydney you live, how big your property is, what kind of infestation you’re faced with and so on. When it comes to pest control, there is no “one size fits all” service. Everything is tailored specifically to your unique situation.

The question that you should be asking is: “How much is Pest Control worth?” And the answer to that is that it’s priceless. Particularly when you think about how dangerous a pest infestation can be for you and your family.

If you have rodents and they’re left unchecked, they can cause all manner of health problems; If you have termites and they’re left undisturbed they can cause irreparable damage to your property; simply put, the damage that untreated pests can do far outweighs a minor investment.

DIY Pest Control is Not Advised

One of the biggest mistakes that you can make is to try and take care of your pest problems alone, for the sake of saving a bit of money. Many people prefer to try to tackle these issues themselves because they’d sooner not cause a big fuss as well, which is also a mistake. If you have a pest problem no matter how small or large, you should call for the experts.

The reason being is that they can come in, use non-toxic, “tired and tested” treatments to solve your pest problems quickly and efficiently. We understand the desire to be self-sufficient and to try and save money where possible. The trouble with this is that if you don’t handle a pest control problem properly it can become exponentially worse and end up causing you all manner of problems down the line. You’ll likely end up having to spend more time and money on it than you’d first expected, only to have to call the professionals for help anyway.

And of course, we might be coming across as a little biased right now. We’re a pest control company, of course, we would prefer for you to hire our services rather than try it yourself, though the main reason is that we know what we are doing. This is our business and we have been taking care of pest problems for a very long time. DIY pest control can be ineffective and more often than not: dangerous.
