Pest control companies Costs in Melbourne
Prices depend on size, access and finishes, so the most useful thing we can give you is a way to compare quotes and check the company behind each one. This guide covers what to ask for and where to look it up.
Before you compare prices
- Get at least three written quotes for the same scope, so the numbers can be compared line by line.
- Ask for the license number and look it up with the state or county. It should be in the company's or owner's name.
- Ask for an insurance certificate sent by the insurer, with liability and, for employers, workers' compensation.
- Check who pulls the permit. The contractor should, not you as the owner.
- Tie payments to finished stages and keep the final payment until the work passes inspection.
