Real Conversations

How Dave Handles Your Calls

Five of the most common pest control enquiries — see exactly how Dave responds to each one.

Termite Inspection Booking
Pre-purchase inspection for a family home
Caller
Hi, we're buying a house and the bank is asking for a termite inspection report before settlement. How soon can you get someone out?
Dave
Thanks for calling. We can certainly help with a pre-purchase termite inspection. We typically have availability within 2 to 3 business days. Could I get the property address so I can confirm we service that area?
Caller
It's 14 Banksia Street, Baulkham Hills. It's a brick home, about 30 years old.
Dave
That's within our service area. For a 30-year brick home, a thorough termite inspection typically takes around 90 minutes. Our report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection and meets all standard lender requirements. Would Thursday morning or Friday afternoon suit you better?
Caller
Thursday morning works. What do we need to do before the inspector arrives?
Dave
I'll book Thursday at 9:00 am and send a confirmation SMS with full preparation instructions. You'll need to ensure access to the roof cavity, subfloor if applicable, and all outbuildings. I'll also need your name and a contact number for the booking confirmation.
✓ Inspection booked — Thursday 9:00 am, confirmation sent
Caller
I need someone urgently. There's a massive wasp nest right next to the kids' trampoline. My daughter got stung twice this morning. Is this an emergency callout?
Dave
I understand this is a safety concern. Wasp nests near children are treated as a priority and we do offer same-day emergency callouts. To get this moving quickly, can I get your address and a brief description of where the nest is located — approximate size and height from the ground?
Caller
It's 7 Casuarina Drive, Penrith. The nest is under the eave of the garden shed, about 2 metres up. It's the size of a rockmelon at least.
Dave
Thank you. A nest of that size under an eave is definitely a significant risk. I'm flagging this as a same-day emergency callout. Our on-call technician will contact you within 30 minutes to confirm an arrival time. In the meantime, please keep children and pets well away from that area of the garden.
Caller
How much will it cost?
Dave
Emergency wasp removal for a nest of that size is typically in the range of $180 to $280, depending on access. The technician will confirm the exact price on arrival before starting any work. Is this the best number to reach you on?
✓ Emergency job logged — technician callback within 30 minutes
Caller
Hi, I manage 12 rental properties and I've got a recurring cockroach problem in three of them. I need pricing for a professional treatment and want to know if you do ongoing service agreements for property managers.
Dave
We do work with property managers and offer volume pricing for multiple properties. For a standard German cockroach treatment in a residential unit, pricing typically starts from $195 for a single treatment. For ongoing agreements across multiple properties, we put together custom plans — usually with 10 to 15 per cent savings over individual call-out rates.
Caller
That sounds like what I need. The three affected properties are in Parramatta and Auburn. Are those areas covered?
Dave
Yes, both Parramatta and Auburn are within our service zone. I'll arrange for our commercial accounts team to contact you with a tailored service agreement proposal. Can I get your name, your agency or company name, and the best email to send the quote to?
Caller
Sandra Wong, LJ Hooker Parramatta. Email is sandra@ljhooker-parramatta.com.au.
Dave
Thank you, Sandra. I've logged your details and flagged this as a commercial account enquiry. Our accounts team will have a proposal to you within one business day. Is there anything else you'd like me to note for them — such as access arrangements or preferred treatment windows?
✓ Commercial lead captured — accounts team follow-up scheduled
Caller
We just moved into a new house and want to set up a regular pest control plan. We've got a young family so we want something safe but effective. What do you offer?
Dave
Congratulations on the new home. Our annual pest protection plans are very popular with families. The standard plan includes two comprehensive treatments per year — covering ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, and general crawling insects — plus a dedicated termite inspection. All products we use are low-toxicity and family-safe once dry.
Caller
That sounds exactly right. What's the cost and how does it work?
Dave
For a standard 3 to 4 bedroom home, the annual plan is typically $380 to $450, which includes both visits and the termite inspection. You can pay annually or split it into two payments. We'll contact you approximately 4 weeks before each scheduled treatment so you can confirm a convenient time. Would you like to get started today?
Caller
Yes, let's do it. Can we book the first treatment for this month?
Dave
Absolutely. I'll set you up as an annual plan customer and schedule the initial treatment. Can I get your address, preferred day of the week, and whether mornings or afternoons work better for your family?
✓ Annual plan signed up — initial treatment scheduled
Caller
I run a restaurant and we've been seeing mouse droppings in the storeroom. Our council inspection is in three weeks. I need this sorted fast and properly — we can't risk a shutdown.
Dave
I understand the urgency. Food premises with an active rodent issue need a documented response for council compliance, not just a treatment. We offer a food-safe rodent control program that includes an initial assessment, tamper-resistant bait stations, a full written treatment report, and a follow-up clearance visit — all designed to satisfy Environmental Health Officer requirements.
Caller
That's exactly what I need. How quickly can you start?
Dave
We can typically schedule a commercial rodent assessment within 24 to 48 hours. Restaurants are treated as high-priority. Can I confirm your business name, suburb, and whether you'd prefer an early morning visit before service begins or an after-close visit in the evening?
Caller
Il Forno in Hawthorn. Morning before service — we open at 11:30. Early morning tomorrow if possible.
Dave
I've logged Il Forno in Hawthorn as a commercial priority job. Our team will call you back within the hour to confirm a time between 7:00 and 9:00 am tomorrow. I've also noted the council inspection deadline in three weeks so we can ensure the full documentation process is completed in time.
✓ Commercial priority job logged — callback within 1 hour

Customer Stories

What Pest Control Businesses Say

Business owners across Australia share how Dave has changed the way they handle calls.

★★★★★

"We were losing after-hours termite inspection enquiries every week — people would call, get no answer, and ring a competitor. Since setting up Dave, our after-hours bookings have doubled. It paid for itself in the first fortnight."

Marcus Webb
Webb Pest Control, Sunshine Coast QLD
★★★★★

"I manage six technicians and was spending two hours a day just on the phone answering questions and booking jobs. Dave handles all of that now. My technicians' schedules are fuller, I'm not interrupted every 20 minutes, and customers seem just as happy."

Debra Nguyen
Complete Pest Solutions, Western Sydney NSW
★★★★★

"The annual plan pitch is what surprised me most. Dave mentions the annual protection plan in the right context and people actually sign up on the call. We've added 40 annual plan customers in three months without any extra sales effort from us."

Tony Brasington
Precision Pest Management, Melbourne VIC
