What we treat

Common pests, handled properly.

Residential and commercial treatments for the everyday pests that turn up in Illawarra homes. Inspection, treatment, and follow-up — no upsell theatre.

Cockroaches

German, Australian, American — interior and roof void treatments.

Ants

Black house, coastal brown, sugar & pavement ants. Trail and nest work.

Spiders

Webbing & ground spiders, including redbacks and huntsmen.

Rats & mice

Roof and subfloor baiting, sealing entry points, ongoing monitoring.

Wasps & bees

Nest removal from eaves, sheds and trees — careful, safe approach.

Fleas

Interior and yard treatments — safe for households with pets.

Silverfish

Cupboard, wardrobe and roof void treatments to protect paper & fabric.

Bed bugs & more

Plus flies, moths, mosquitoes and general crawling insects.

One thing we don’t do: termite inspections or termite treatments. If you suspect termites, we’ll happily point you toward a trusted local specialist.

How it works

Simple, straightforward, no surprises.

From the first phone call to walking out the door, here’s how a typical job goes.

STEP 01

Quick chat

Call or message. Tell me what you’re seeing — I’ll give a straight quote over the phone.

STEP 02

Inspection

On the day, I walk the property, identify the pest and figure out where it’s coming from.

STEP 03

Treatment

Targeted, family-safe treatment — interior, exterior, roof void, subfloor, as needed.

STEP 04

Follow-up

I’ll let you know what to expect over the next 1–2 weeks. Something off? Call me direct.

What locals say

Word of mouth, mostly.

A small sample of feedback from neighbours around Shellharbour and Kiama.

★★★★★

Had a cockroach problem in the kitchen for months that wouldn’t shift, no matter what we tried. Michael came out, sorted it in one visit and checked in again a fortnight later to make sure they were gone. Honest, no upsell, fair price.

Rats in the roof were driving us mad heading into winter. Michael found where they were getting in, baited properly and walked me through how to seal the gaps so they wouldn’t come back. Haven’t heard a thing since. Local bloke, easy to deal with.

★★★★★

Wasp nest under the eaves with the kids running around the yard — not ideal. Michael came out the next day, removed it safely and was good with the kids while he worked. Genuine local service, would call him again in a heartbeat.

FAQ

Things people ask before booking.

Can’t see your question? Easiest thing is a quick phone call.

Do you treat termites?
No — termite inspections and treatments aren’t part of what we offer. If you suspect termite activity, we’ll point you toward a trusted local specialist so it’s handled properly.
Are the products safe around kids and pets?
The products we use are chosen with families in mind. Michael will walk you through anything you need to do before and after treatment — typically just keeping pets off freshly treated areas until they’re dry.
How soon can you come out?
For most jobs in our service area, we can usually book you in the same week — sometimes the next day depending on the schedule. Call to check.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
For most general pest treatments, no. For some interior work it’s easier if the home is vacated for a short window — Michael will tell you upfront when he books you in.
What areas do you cover?
Shell Cove, Shellharbour, Albion Park, Oak Flats, Flinders, Warilla, Barrack Heights, Lake Illawarra, Blackbutt and Kiama. Just outside that? Give us a ring — we may still be able to help.
