Common questions
Booking pest control on Knockr
How much does pest control cost in Australia?
General pest treatments (cockroaches, ants, spiders) for a standard 3-bedroom home run $150–$350 AUD on Knockr. Rodent programs $180–$350. Termite inspections $200–$400. Full chemical termite barriers are quoted on inspection and typically start from $2,500.
How often should I get pest control?
For general pests (cockroaches, ants, spiders), most Australian pest controllers recommend a treatment every 6–12 months depending on your area. Termite inspections should be done annually — Australian Standard AS 3660 recommends at least yearly.
Are the chemicals used safe for kids and pets?
Licensed pest controllers use registered chemicals at label rates. Most treatments are safe once dry (typically 1–4 hours). Your Knockr technician will give you specific re-entry times for children and pets before they start.
I've found what looks like termites — what should I do?
Do not disturb the area. Take a photo and post a request on Knockr for a termite inspection. Disturbing termites can cause the colony to retreat and make treatment harder.
What pests does Knockr cover?
Knockr pest controllers cover cockroaches, ants, spiders, rodents (rats and mice), bed bugs, fleas, wasps, termites, silverfish, pantry moths and more. List the pest in your job post and matching specialists will respond.
