General Insect Treatments
Our minimum charge is $150.00* inc. GST
Greedy Gecko has a simple pricing system for common household insect treatments (not a termite treatment). We charge depending on the amount of product used, with no hidden costs. Our minimum charge is $150.00* inc. GST (5 litres) which will treat a standard 3×2 internally and externally with a carport or patio. For larger areas the rate is an additional $20.00 per extra litre used, making the next five litres only $100.00. If you are concerned about costing ask your technician to notify you once the initial 5 litres has been used. Our product, the application and pricing system doesn’t change giving consistency throughout. On completion an information sheet together with a tax receipt will be completed by our technician.
Although our general insect treatment is effective on all household insects, if you have any infestation including but not limited to ants, cockroaches, millipedes, bees, termites or you need rodent control or roof dusting, other methods and products will be required at an additional cost. Call our free call number to obtain an approximate cost estimate.
PLEASE NOTE: Not all our technicians are licensed to inspect and treat termites, so please call us to check availability.

Once treatment is complete a certificate of a termite treatment will be issued with a durable notice to be placed in your meter box following Australian Standards.

30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee
If you find our general insect treatment is not up to expectations within 30 days, (subject to conditions below) please contact us. We will return for an inspections and if required, retreat areas of concern at no cost.
* Brush down existing spider webs 3-5 days after treatment. This is the only visual indication if the product is working. Any guarantee is dependant on the removal of all webs.
* Don’t rub the treatment off. Keep 2 inches from skirting boards when washing floors and when cleaning external windows, only clean the windows, not the frames.
* Eradication is not possible. We aim for a 80 – 90% reduction of insect activity on any premises.
* Insects become active after we service your property. Some insects e.g. spiders are not usually active during daylight hours due to predators such as birds. This activity is an indication the product is working. Once they come in contact of the treated surface, insects will become disorientated and leave their nest or harbourage area(s). This totally normal and can happen months after treatment.
* Climatic conditions and geographical area determines insect activity. Hot, humid and dry weather encourages insects to become active. This is particularly so in rural areas. Given time, once they come in contact with the treated surface, they will be affected.
* The product is biodegradable. We mix a new batch each time we service a property. Once mixed, the product starts to break down as required by law to protect the environment.
* We recommend treatment annually at a minimum. Depending on climatic conditions, results may differ year to year. A follow up treatment may be required if a particularly hot, humid, wet or dry season.
* It is not a repellent. Insects will continue to enter your premises through washing, open doors or on people. Active insects e.g. spiders inside is an indication of the product taking affect.
* You will have fewer dead insects each year you receive treatment. After the first treatment, we expect within 12 months 30% return of insects. After year 2, only 10% return and no more than 5% 3 years and on. This is expected.
* Help reduce insect activity. Placement of rubbish bins and pet food/bedding can dramatically reduce insect numbers. Keep them away from doorways.
