His prices are very reasonable, and thanks to him, I’ve had zero mouse problems. Highly recommend if you want fast, reliable service you can trust!

Billie Nguyen AIDAN from first Defence Pest Control was very experience , polite and did a fantastic job on my property very efficient . I will definitely use this company every year, especially using AIDAN and recommending him to all my family and friends Thank you AIDEN ????? Michelle Segan I recently received a quote for my annual termite inspection from my builder’s preferred pest control provider, and after picking myself up off the floor from the $200+ increase in just 12 months, I decided to look for an alternative. I’m very glad I did, because finding First Defence Pest Control was an absolute find! Aidan took the time to talk through my concerns about the previous provider and confirmed that my termite protection system could be maintained by First Defence Pest Control. That was all I needed, and I booked immediately. Before even arriving onsite, Aidan reviewed my previous annual inspection report (along with other relevant information) and walked me through what I should expect from First Defence Pest Control. He also highlighted clear shortfalls in the service and reporting I had been receiving elsewhere. On the day of the inspection, Aidan was punctual, professional, and extremely thorough - both during the service and in his explanations afterwards. The inspection report arrived promptly and was detailed and comprehensive… something I never received from the former provider. Long story short: if you’re using your builder’s recommended pest control service out of fear of jeopardising your building or termite warranty, it’s worth checking your actual obligations. Generally speaking, as long as the provider is accredited, can service your specific termite system, and meets the required Australian Standards, you are free to choose who you trust with your home, but please do your own research to ensure it meets your needs! If you want someone who goes above and beyond, provides genuine peace of mind, and offers reasonable pricing, look no further than Aidan at First Defence Pest Control. I highly recommend them. Thanks, Aidan… see you in 12 months! Robert Balestra I had Aidan do a termite inspection/protection and was very happy with the service. He was very professional and thorough and I will definitely be using First Defence Pest Control in the future. Liam Utley Highly recommend! Great results and very professional Ellie Smith Aidan's work was outstanding, very thorough. Took his time, very happy with his work ethics.

KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
The Warning Signs Are Easy to Miss
Mice are small, quiet, and excellent at hiding — most infestations go unnoticed until they’re serious. Look out for:
- Small black droppings in cupboards or along skirting boards
- Scratching or movement in walls or ceilings at night
- Chewed food packaging or pantry items
- Small holes or gaps around walls, doors, or pipes
- Strong, musty odours in enclosed areas
Seeing one or two of these? There’s a good chance mice are already active in your home.
WHY IT MATTERS
More Than Just a Nuisance
Mice aren’t just annoying to have around — left alone, they create real health and safety risks.
- Rapid breeding — a small issue can turn into a full infestation fast
- Food contamination — mice spread bacteria across surfaces and food
- Hidden activity — they nest inside walls, cupboards, and roof cavities
- Property damage — chewing through materials, wiring, and insulation
The longer mice are left untreated, the harder — and more costly — they are to eliminate.
