Residential Pest Control
Our residential pest control services target common household pests including cockroaches, ants, spiders, and rodents.

Quack Pest Control were excellent! I recently used them for a termite system replenishment and general pest treatment. The customer service and communication was excellent throughout the whole process (as i am a noob who just bought my first home and have no idea what i'm doing). The boys did a great job, and ended up saving me 2 grand on the initial quote, being able to use the old system (instead of drilling/plugging). I spoke to several different pest companies around Darwin, before landing on Quack, after a recommendation from a friend who recently used them. Do yourself a favour and just

Friendly staff but outrageous quote price so just go to Bunnings and get mortein outdoor spray works well and won't cost you thousands. Still can't believe the price we were given so didn't go ahead with the job shocking. The quote was under my partners name.

After constantly seeing their ads on TV, we thought we'd give them a go. Considering how much you normally have to pay for to ads, you'd think you'd value each and every new customer you get! Not quack pest control. I had to constantly follow THEM up just to try and book in an appointment! I had wasted so much time just waiting for them. IF I was happy with their service, I would've kept them on and supported them with our business on a regular basis. But clearly they don't need it.

I cant thank the staff enough. We had just moved back had problems with our house and they were so accommodating changing times, days on a few occasions. When they arrived he was friendly and very professional. Explained a few things and if needed would come back. We dont need you back as the job has done. Will definitely use Quack again and would recommend to anyone. Thank you all
