Many leases require a professional pest control treatment at end of lease, especially where pets have been kept. End-of-lease pest control treats the relevant pests — commonly fleas, cockroaches and spiders — and provides a receipt for the real estate agent. Identifying what the entry report requires ensures the treatment meets the lease condition.

End-of-Lease Carpet Cleaning
End-of-lease carpet cleaning needs to meet the standard required by your lease and the real estate agent — usually a professional clean with stain and odour treatment and a receipt for the agent. Identifying problem areas (stains, pet odour, high-traffic soiling) before the clean lets them be treated specifically rather than just surface cleaned. A professional clean with documentation helps support your bond return, though it cannot guarantee every stain will be removable.

Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in cracks, behind appliances and in wall voids. Effective control requires identifying the species (German, American or Australian), treating the harbourages with the correct products, and removing food and water sources. A single treatment reduces activity, but German cockroaches often need follow-up because eggs hatch after the first treatment. Good sanitation and sealing entry points are essential to prevent reinfestation.
Read moreFlea Control
Fleas lay eggs that drop into carpet and flooring, so treating only the pet rarely solves the problem. Effective flea control treats the home — carpets, flooring, pet bedding and resting areas — with products that target adult fleas and developing stages. A follow-up is often needed because pupae can emerge after the first treatment. Treating pets at the same time is essential.
Read moreRat Control
Rats enter homes for food, water and shelter, nesting in roof spaces, wall voids and subfloors. Effective control combines baiting and trapping to remove the infestation, identifying and sealing entry points to prevent re-entry, and removing food sources. Rodent proofing is essential — without it, new rodents will simply replace the ones removed.
