About ant control
Supermarket sprays kill the ants you can see and scatter the colony, which often makes infestations worse. Professionals identify the species first, because coastal brown ants, black house ants and Argentine ants respond to different baits. Expect a treatment to take a week or two to collapse the nest as workers carry bait back to the queen.
Getting quotes in Dumbleton
When you enquire about ant control, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.

Quick answers
How much does pest control cost?+
A general internal and external pest treatment for a standard home typically runs $150 to $350. Termite inspections are usually $250 to $400, and termite barrier or baiting systems run into the thousands depending on the home's perimeter. End-of-lease flea treatments are often around $100 to $200.
Do pest controllers need a licence?+
Yes. Every state licenses pest management technicians, and termite work has additional requirements. Ask for the licence number and check it covers the treatment being quoted, especially for termite chemical barriers where warranties depend on accredited installation.
How often should I get a termite inspection?+
At least annually, per the Australian standard, and every six months in high-pressure areas or homes with previous activity. Concrete slab homes are not immune; termites enter through expansion joints, pipe penetrations and garden beds built above slab level. An inspection also documents conditions before you sell.
