The Best Pest Control Experts in Auckland

Updated 19 April 2023

Summary:

In this guide, we outline what’s important when looking for a Auckland pest control company.
Pest control should rarely be a DIY job.
Why? Firstly, it doesn't often work, and your pest problem can get worse. Secondly, it may be dangerous - having a crack at a wasp nest may end in disaster. You'll likely be tempted to save money by having a go yourself, but so often when the problem is severe, you'll struggle to kill the pests. The problem will persist and you'll spend more money on ineffective treatments.
In this guide, we outline how to approach getting a quote for an Auckland pest control professional and what you should expect to pay.
Generally, the pest control professionals listed on this page all deal with rodents (rats and mice), bedbugs, bees and wasps, cockroaches and ants.

Our Auckland pest control guide covers:

Know This First: What does pest control involve?
Generally, pest control companies use potent chemicals that DIY stores don't offer. The aim of pest control is permanent protection, and by hiring a professional, you're paying for a solution (and not a temporary treatment).

How much does pest control cost?

Every pest solution is unique to a home, so establishing an 'average' price isn't helpful given the variables. However, as a general guide, the following pricing is reflective of current prices:

Wasp nest control: $100 to $175 (one-off removal)
Bedbug treatment: $250 to $300, with additional treatments at further cost
Ant control: $150+ (this will usually be a spray treatment with a six or eight-week guarantee)
Cockroach treatment: $200+ for a standard home, adding $40-$75 for each additional room. Generally, the treatment will last for at least 12-24 months.
Mice: $200 - $300+ for a standard treatment that includes insulating a property’s risk areas, baiting and collection

What influences the cost of pest control in Auckland?
Several factors affect how much you can expect to be quoted. These include:

The kind of pest(s) you need treated
The scale of the infestation
How many visits are required
The size of your home, and where you live
Which pest control firm you hire

Hiring a Pest Control Company - three things to ask before agreeing to a quote

Get at the least three quotes before you hire a pest control company - prices do vary, and you want to make sure you're comfortable with the provider you select
Be aware that you may need more than one treatment to remove pests completely
Understand the guarantees and/or warranties offered so that you know the terms of the service

Useful Tips - Three ways to prevent pest infestations in the long term

Take care of your lawn and garden - Pests are drawn to all sorts of things; woodpiles attract termites, leftover vegetable garden plants entice rats and mice.
Keep kitchen and dining areas clean - Dirty plates are a cockroach's best friend. Also, regular vacuuming will pick up insects. Dry items can be stored in plastic containers.
Seal your property - Sealing your property will not only help you save money on energy bills, but it will also help you keep unwanted pests away from your house 24/7.
