About Cairns Pest Management.

Cairns Pest Management takes enquiries for general pest control, termite inspections and treatment, cockroach and ant control, rodent control and commercial pest programs. We cover Cairns and the Cairns region, from the northern beaches to Gordonvale, including Edmonton, Smithfield, Redlynch, Trinity Beach, Earlville, Cairns City and Palm Cove. The site is run by Yes Right Pty Ltd (ABN 91 664 546 061).

From enquiry to quote.

You call or send the quote form with the pest, the suburb and any deadline, such as a settlement date. We pass the job to a local pest control business that can price it. That business quotes you directly and is responsible for its own licence, insurance and workmanship. We don't charge you for the enquiry. Businesses we refer work to may pay us a referral fee.

• Licence. Anyone applying pesticides commercially in Queensland must hold a current Pest Management Technician licence, administered by Queensland Health. Ask to see it. Termite management work also needs a QBCC licence in the relevant class. Both can be checked online.
• Products. Every pesticide must be registered by the APVMA and applied to the label rate. Ask for the product label and safety data sheet.
• Insurance. Ask for a copy of the business’s public liability insurance certificate.
• Written quote. It should name the active ingredient, the treatment areas, the re-entry instructions for children and pets, and any follow-up visit.
• Warranty. Get the terms in writing: how long it runs, which pests it covers and whether call-backs are free.
• Termite paperwork. A new build needs an AS 3660.1 termite management system and a durable notice, usually in the meter box. Pre-purchase inspections should be done to AS 4349.3, and AS 3660.2 and the QBCC advise an inspection of an existing home at least every 12 months.
