Services
Cockroach Control
Our cockroach treatments use advanced methods to eliminate infestations and prevent recurrence. Backed by a 12-month warranty, our expert technicians target both visible pests and hidden colonies. The service includes thorough property assessment, targeted chemical application, and follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication, providing long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Termite Treatment
Specialised termite management solutions protect properties from structural damage. Services include comprehensive inspections, baiting systems, and chemical barriers. We offer Termidor treatments and optional 5-year timber replacement insurance. Our certified technicians implement tailored strategies for existing infestations and preventive measures for new constructions across residential and commercial sites.
Rodent Removal
Professional rodent control addresses infestations through humane trapping, exclusion techniques, and habitat modification. The 3-month warranty service includes property assessment, entry point sealing, and follow-up visits. Our approach focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes, ensuring properties remain rodent-free through preventive strategies.
Spider Extermination
Targeted spider control services focus on common nuisance species like webbing spiders. The 6-month warranty treatment involves thorough property spraying, web removal, and preventive barrier application. Our technicians identify and address attractants while implementing measures to prevent re-infestation, ensuring safe environments for families and businesses.
Ant Control
Effective ant control targets both visible workers and nest colonies. The 3-month warranty service includes bait station placement, chemical treatments, and entry point sealing. Our technicians identify ant species to implement species-specific solutions, combined with preventive measures to stop future invasions in residential and commercial properties.

Aiden and Scott arrived to perform my annual pest health checkup! As in years gone by the team were friendly professional thorough and a pleasure to have on my property. Aiden I had met previously and had been impressed by his breadth of knowledge and professionalism. Scott is new to the team and on my reckoning will prove an excellent addition to the business. He is exhibiting all the hallmarks of another great LPE team member. Thank you LPE

They are prompt, friendly and extremely efficient and flexible. Their customer service is exceptional. Whilst I hate killing anything including insects, occasionally but sadly it is necessary and this company are great. They also assured me that the chemicals used for the purpose of their visit wouldn’t harm any other species or animals in our home and garden. 10 out of 10.

Would highly recommend these guys! They done a pre purchase inspection for me and were very thorough, even called afterwards to explain it over the phone. Then I even got my actual report emailed to me the same day, so super efficient and very friendly. I’m getting them back to treat the house once it’s ours.
