TermitesTermites 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.
From $250

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.

CockroachesCockroaches 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.
From $460
-
FleasFleas 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.

Active now in PerthRats & 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.
From $220
-
SpidersPerth 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.
From $240
-
WaspsWasp 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.
From $220
-
MillipedesPortuguese 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.
