Pest control in Perth
Perth's warm climate keeps most common pests active for a large part of the year, and slab homes, paved gardens, and roof void spaces all give pests plenty of places to establish undetected. For businesses, an untreated pest problem can also mean a compliance issue, particularly for food handling, retail, and office environments.
Our specialties
Elite Pest Control treats the full range of pests common to Perth homes and businesses, from ants and spiders through to cockroaches, fleas, rodents, and wasp nests. Every job is carried out by a licensed technician, matched to the pest and the property.
Common pests we treat
Every pest behaves differently, and treatment works best when it's matched to how that pest actually nests, breeds or hides. Here's what to look for and how each one's handled.
Ants
Ants nest behind walls, under paving, and in wall or roof cavities, and a single nest can produce a new colony fast if it isn't treated at the source. Elite Pest Control treats ant infestations with targeted baiting and spraying, matched to the species and nest location.
Spiders
Perth homes see a mix of spiders, from harmless huntsman to venomous redbacks, and it's not always obvious which is which until someone's been bitten. Elite Pest Control's external spider spray treats the areas spiders actually nest in, eaves, sheds, letterboxes, garden beds, rather than just knocking down webs.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches breed fast, carry disease pathogens including salmonella, and are notoriously hard to fully eliminate once established. Elite Pest Control's German cockroach treatment covers both interior and exterior areas. Restaurants, cafes and other food handling businesses are a particular priority, given the food safety risk.
Rats & Mice
Rats and mice damage buildings, chew through wiring, and spread disease through droppings and contamination. Elite Pest Control treats rodent problems with targeted baiting suited to the species and the property.
Fleas
Fleas bite, cause itching that can last for weeks, and breed fast once established in carpets, bedding or garden beds. Elite Pest Control treats fleas both internally and externally, with specialised insecticide targeting the full flea life cycle.
Wasps
Wasp nests grow fast once established, and a nest close to the house, near doors, eaves or play areas, becomes a real sting risk for anyone allergic. Elite Pest Control removes wasp nests safely, treating the nest directly rather than just spraying visible activity.
Millipedes
Portuguese millipedes invade Perth homes in large numbers every autumn, drawn in by the first rains and by lights left on at night. They're not harmful to people or pets, but a swarm of thousands is a genuine nuisance, and they release a smelly secretion if crushed that can stain skin, clothes and flooring. Elite Pest Control's external barrier treatment stops them before they reach the building.
How pest treatment works
Assessment
The pest, its likely nesting or breeding location, and the extent of the problem are identified before any treatment is applied.
Targeted treatment
Baiting, spraying, or a combination is applied to the areas the pest is actually active in, not just the areas it's been seen.
Interior and exterior coverage
Many pests need both, since exterior treatment reduces new activity while interior treatment clears what's already inside.
Follow-up if needed
Larger or more established infestations may need a second visit to fully clear.

Questions we get asked
General pest treatment pricing depends on the pest, property size, and whether treatment covers interior, exterior, or both — see the price list above for a breakdown by pest.
Yes. Residential and commercial pest control both use the same licensed technicians and treatment approach, adjusted for the property type and, for businesses, any compliance documentation needed.
The pest library covers signs for each common pest, from droppings and gnaw marks for rodents to mud tubes for termites. If you're not sure, a technician can identify the pest and recommend the right treatment during an inspection.
Non-toxic and low-chemical options are available for most treatments. Ask about the right approach for your household when booking, and any specific concerns around allergies, pregnancy, or pets can be factored into the treatment plan.

A few more ways we can help, depending on what you need next.
Termites
Termites cause millions of dollars in damage to Australian homes every year, most of it not covered by insurance, and much of the damage happens before it's ever detected. Elite Pest Control treats active infestations, protects new builds before the slab is poured, and inspects established homes and properties before settlement.
Non-Toxic Pest Control
Perth's warm climate keeps pest activity high for much of the year, which means many households are weighing up ongoing pest control against the amount of chemical use they're comfortable with. Non-toxic options mean that trade-off doesn't have to mean leaving a pest problem untreated.
Commercial
Commercial pest control covers any business site, a construction lot before the slab goes in, a working kitchen, a warehouse, a hospital ward. Elite Pest Control has serviced Perth businesses across food service, retail, industrial and healthcare sectors for over 30 years, with technicians licensed to handle the different regulatory environment each industry brings.
