THE STORY SO FAR:

Dave brought his family from the Gold Coast to Alice Springs in early 2004 looking for a ‘sea change’. Well we found it!

We have fallen in love with the lifestyle that Alice Springs and the Northern Territory has to offer. Our children, twin girls, Brooke (on the right) and Cody (on the left) both attend school in Alice Springs and thoroughly enjoy it here.

Dave and Amanda have made a pact to ensure that the service that we provide to our clients is not only professional, courteous and prompt but it is also friendly, helpful and with all the added extras that a family business can offer.

We realise that some people may not have had the service that they expected from other pest companies in the past and this may have put them on the back foot about calling another pest company.

We ask that if you have had a previous bad experience with another pest company, please do not hesitate to call us. We are sure that you will notice the difference.

THE FAMILY BEHIND

Bush Work

Welcome to our section on 'Bush Work'.

As you can see by the photographs of our trucks we are capable of travelling anywhere that it is required on almost any roads. We also fly to some locations when required. We carry our own plant and equipment, personal supplies and we are fully licensed in all facets of pest control including termites. We are fully capable and extensively experienced in meeting the pest control needs of all customers, ranging from domestic houses and properties to large, cattle stations, Aboriginal communities and on-going commercial contracts.

We charge a per kilometre rate, not an hourly rate for travel. This can be reduced by you if you contact other people in your area and share the travel costs if they have their pest control done at the same time.
Once we arrive our prices for pest control are no different then what you would be charged in town (in some cases cheaper). We also reduce our rates for large jobs or combined general pest and termite work.

CowWe have travelled on all of the roads around Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and the Barkly including but not limited to the Stuart Hwy, Plenty Hwy, Sandover, Tanami Road, Kintore Rd, Docker River Rd, Ross Hwy, Mereenie Loop, Finke Rd, Barkly Hwy, Tablelands Hwy and the Barkly Stock Route. We also regularly travel to all of these places as a result of Government Contracts etc which helps to reduce travel costs to you .

All of the chemicals that we use are environmentally safe with no odour. You do not have to leave the house, take the cat, dog and pigeon with you when you go or remove any belongings. In town we give a 12 month warranty on our service but as this would not be possible out in the bush, at least it gives you an idea how good our treatments are.Windmill

We use the most cost effective and long lasting termite treatments available.

If you would like to know more about our rates please call us on 08-8953 5562 and if possible we will give you a quote over the phone so there are no hidden shocks.

We hope that this has assisted you and look forward to hearing from you.




Kind regards
Amanda, Dave & Mark
