Bond Return and End of Lease Pest Treatment in Townsville

FlMost bond disputes are about something small and avoidable, and pest treatment is one of the easiest to get ahead of. If your lease requires evidence of professional pest treatment before your bond is returned, this is a fast, documented service built specifically for that purpose.

From $132, it's priced and scoped as what it is: a treatment and certificate for satisfying a property manager's requirement at vacate, not a full property overhaul.

What your lease might actually require

Check the specific wording rather than assuming. Some leases require general pest treatment evidence regardless of whether a pet lived there. Others require it only if you kept a pet, in which case the requirement is usually specifically about fleas rather than general pests, and needs our flea and tick treatment instead of, or as well as, this service.

If you're not sure which applies, read your lease or ask your property manager directly before booking. It saves booking the wrong service.

What's included

A general pest treatment covering the areas a property manager typically wants evidence of, cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish, plus a signed certificate confirming the treatment, the date, the areas covered and the products used. That certificate is the document your property manager or agent will actually want to see.

Getting the most out of both visits


  1. Vacuum thoroughly before the first visit, including under furniture and along skirting boards, then dispose of the bag outside immediately.
  2. Wash pet bedding on the hottest safe cycle before we arrive.
  3. Keep pets off treated areas until dry, generally a few hours.
  4. Mow the lawn and clear yard clutter before the outdoor component, so the treatment reaches the ground rather than sitting on debris.
  5. Book the second visit when we suggest it rather than waiting to see if it's needed. The timing is based on the flea life cycle, not a guess.


What it costs

From $299 both visits included

Our flea and tick treatment, covering both visits, is from $299. This is a starting price, current at time of writing and subject to change, and the exact cost depends on property size and whether the yard needs treating as well as inside. See what pest control costs in Townsville for our full rate card.


Vacating a rental?

If you're moving out of a property where a pet has lived, your lease may specifically require a professional flea treatment certificate before your bond is returned, separate from any general end-of-lease pest treatment. See bond return and end of lease treatment for what that involves and how the two services fit together.

Frequently asked questions

Why do fleas come back after I've had the house treated?

Almost always because of the protected pupal stage, which can remain dormant for weeks after the first treatment before hatching. This is exactly why our programme includes a second visit two to three weeks later, timed to catch that generation before it establishes.

Do I need the yard treated as well as inside?

If your pet has any outdoor access, yes. Fleas and ticks concentrate in shaded areas like under the house, under decking and around kennels rather than open lawn, and an untreated yard will simply reinfest a freshly treated house.

How much does flea and tick treatment cost?

From $299 for our standard two-visit programme, covering both the initial treatment and the follow-up. This is a starting price, subject to change, and we confirm the exact cost before starting any work.

Are paralysis ticks a real risk in Townsville?

They're present along the Queensland coast, though less prevalent here than further south. It's still worth mentioning to us if your pet has picked up ticks, since it changes where we focus yard treatment, and worth discussing prevention directly with your vet.

Is this the same as the treatment I need for my rental bond?

Not necessarily. A flea and tick treatment is specifically for an active flea or tick problem, or for satisfying a pet clause in a lease. A general bond return treatment is a separate, broader service. See bond return and end of lease treatment for the distinction.
