Moving out with pets? Here's what you need to know
If you're a tenant in Brisbane and you've had a pet during your lease, you've probably noticed the clause about professional pest control in your tenancy agreement. It's a standard requirement across most rental contracts — if you've had an animal on the property, you need to arrange for a licensed flea treatment before you hand back the keys.
It's not about whether you actually had fleas. Property managers and landlords want the peace of mind that the property is clean and safe for the next occupant. We provide licensed, documented pest control that meets these requirements and gives you the official paperwork your agent will ask for.
What our end of lease pest control includes
Licensed flea treatment
We use commercial-grade products designed to target fleas at every stage of their life cycle — from eggs to adult insects. We treat carpets, rugs, skirting boards, and areas where pets have spent time. The products we use are effective yet low-odour, making them suitable for occupied properties right up until the treatment is applied.
General pest coverage
Along with fleas, we also treat for common household pests like cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish. These tend to accumulate over the course of a tenancy, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and storage areas. Our treatment covers all interior rooms and relevant outdoor areas.
Safe, modern products
We use water-based treatments that are low in toxicity and don't leave heavy chemical odours. Once dry — usually within a couple of hours — the treated areas are safe for both people and animals. We always follow product safety guidelines to the letter.
Official documentation
When the treatment is complete, we provide a formal invoice that includes our license details, the products used, and the date of service. This is the paperwork your property manager typically needs to finalise your bond return.
Being upfront: We can't guarantee your bond will be returned — that decision rests with your property manager, landlord, or the tribunal. What we can guarantee is that we'll carry out the treatment as required and provide the documentation you need. If there's a valid issue with our work, we'll come back to address it at no extra charge.
Save time by bundling your services
If you're moving out of a rental property in Brisbane, chances are you need more than just pest control. You'll also need a thorough end of lease clean and possibly carpet cleaning as well.
We can coordinate your pest treatment alongside other services so you're not juggling multiple tradespeople across different days. Typically, we recommend the order of operations like this:
- General bond clean (internal windows, floors, kitchen, bathrooms)
- Carpet steam cleaning (if required by your lease)
- Pest control treatment (as the final step)
This approach means the property is clean before the pest spray is applied, and the treatment isn't disrupted by other trades. We can help you coordinate the whole process.
