For home-service pros
Get pest control leads in Australia
Pest requests name the animal before you reply. The homeowner picks mice or rats, bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, wasps or bees, or wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels and birds — and says where they have seen it, whether that is the living space, the attic or roof, the basement, or outside and the garage.

What a pest control lead shows you
Every pest control request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.
Those two answers together change the visit entirely. Bed bugs in a bedroom is a preparation-heavy treatment with follow-ups; a raccoon in an attic is an exclusion job with a roof to close up afterwards. Homeowners are also asked whether they want humane removal, so a request that rules out lethal control reaches you marked that way.

The guide homeowners get on this site
We publish a pest control guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.
What the guide covers
- Termites and the other pests Australian homes call about
- Signs of termite activity a homeowner can actually spot
- Pest technician licensing is a state matter, and termite work has extra layers
- Pre-purchase timber pest inspections when buying a house
- Annual inspections and keeping a termite management system working
- Why termite damage is worse than it looks, and what insurance may not cover
- Termite management options: barriers, chemical treatment and resistant construction
- Written treatment plans, your consumer rights and using LokalMatch
Questions it answers
- Are white ants the same thing as termites?
- How often should I have my house inspected for termites?
- Will my home insurance cover termite damage?
- Do I need a separate pest inspection when buying, or is the building report enough?
- Is my pest technician licensed?
- I have found mud tunnels on my wall. What should I do first?
- Does a termite barrier mean my house is safe?

Licensing notes by province
Our provincial permit guides don’t list a licence specific to this trade. That isn’t legal advice: check with your province or territory and your municipality before you take on work.
Pest technician licensing is a state matter, and termite work has extra layers
From our guide for this trade, with the official sources it was checked against.
There is no single national pest control licence in Australia. In New South Wales, the Environment Protection Authority licenses pest management technicians, who must hold a licence to apply pesticides to control pests for fee or reward, with trainees holding a training permit. A separate timber pest management technician licence is being phased in; in the meantime a pest management technician licence permits commercial termite treatments. Notably, someone who only carries out timber pest inspections without using pesticides, or who installs termite barriers that contain no pesticide, does not need an EPA licence for that work — so 'licensed' means different things depending on what you are asking the business to do.
Queensland splits it across two regulators. Pest management activities using a pesticide or fumigant are regulated under the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019 and its pest management regulation, and require a pest management licence issued by Queensland Health. On top of that, chemical termite management work — pre-slab and perimeter chemical treatment of new building work, and inspecting or investigating buildings and advising on termite management systems and infestations — falls under a QBCC termite management (chemical) licence, and the QBCC states that anyone supervising or performing that work must also hold the Queensland Health pest management licence.
Other states and territories have their own equivalents. The practical step for a homeowner is to ask which licences the technician holds, in which state, and for what activities, then check them on the issuing regulator's register rather than accepting a logo on a van.

How matching works
Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.
How we rank and match pros- You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
- Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
- Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
- When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
- Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.
Invalid leads and refunds
If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:
- The contact details are wrong or don't work.
- It duplicates a lead you already received.
- It isn't a real request for work.
- It's outside the services or areas you listed.
Verification you’ll need
Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.

Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.

Read how verification worksGetting set up for pest control work
- Set the pests you actually treat. Bed bug work and wildlife exclusion need different equipment, different training and different follow-up.
- If you do humane wildlife removal and exclusion, say so in your profile description. Homeowners are asked about it directly and many care a great deal.
- Add your pesticide certificate during sign-up so our team can check it. It is the credential homeowners are told to ask for.
