What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Repeat business from homeowners and commercial clients stands out in feedback for RID Pest Control, with several describing years of ongoing treatments for spiders and rodents. Brad is named repeatedly for his thorough approach, whether handling a severe ant infestation, carrying out a termite check or looking after pest control at a cafe in Ballarat. Tim earns similar praise for arriving when expected and explaining the required work in plain terms. The results themselves are highlighted again and again, with spiders and earwigs disappearing after the first spray and staying away until the next yearly visit.

Reviewers also point to fair rates, quick scheduling and courteous technicians who take time to answer questions. Pre-purchase inspections are described as detailed yet easy to follow, giving first-home buyers a clearer picture of termite concerns before committing. Directions issued before a visit and practical guidance afterwards are mentioned as part of the service, and long-standing clients note that a change of address did not mean finding a new provider. Jo, Brad and Dave appear in accounts of properties cared for over many years.

Rid pest control are the best. The possum removal professionals. A very big thank you to Jo, Brad and Tim for his great customer service and expert knowledge in this field. Cannot recommend them more highly for excellent service.

We had a terrible ant problem around our house & property! No-one was safe from being bitten, they were out of control! I called Rid Pest Control & easily made an appointment, Brad came out & knew exactly what to do! No more ant problem. Friendly, excellent service at a very reasonable rate.

Tim arrived on time and was polite and professional. He explained everything he needed to do very clearly and was time efficient. A+

I have been using RID pest control for years. They have been helping me with ongoing rodent and spider control. Thanks to their help I’m keeping both under control. When I moved house Brad went over and above to help me with my pest inspection. I have since recommended RID to multiple friends, all of them have been very happy with Brad and RID. I’m leaving this review because I’m absolutely shocked by a negative review, which based on well over 7 years of dealing with RID, I just do not believe. The whole team has been nothing but professional. Oh and I’m a single woman, who has referred the team to only other single woman all of which have, as said above, been very happy. I want all others to know that you are in safe, and respectful hands with all of the RID team.

I contacted Rid Pest Control a few weeks after my initial treatment in December 2024 because I was still having issues with spiders. Despite my attempt to reach out, I received no response. Almost three months later, they apparently (I found out during an abusive phone call on Thursday morning) sent me an invoice that I am yet to see, and there have been no follow-up invoices. I completely forgot about the issue until last night when I received random and threatening messages from an unknown number. The messages insinuated that they knew where I lived and could drop off a “gift.” As a young mother, I was terrified that someone who refused to tell me who they were was going to show up to my house. I and many other people tried to contact the number to find out who it was, but we received no response until this morning when it turned out to be Brad, a convicted cyber hacker and specialist technician at rid pest control, chasing up the invoice. I informed him that I had never seen any invoices or follow-up ones however, I said I would pay it anyway. He was, abusive, rude and I felt very threatened. He was also clearly recording our phone call. I ended up paying because I don’t want to be associated with a criminal. However, I want to warn others to be cautious when using Rid Pest Control. They seem to support threatening and harassing behaviour towards women.

I’ve been using Rid Pest for the past two years to keep spiders at bay in my home, and I couldn’t be happier! They sprayed my house with their effective spider repellent, and after just the first week, I didn’t spot a single spider for the entire year—until it was time for the next treatment. The technician who came out was super friendly, took the time to explain everything, and answered all my questions knowledgeably. Plus, their pricing is very reasonable for the top-notch service you get. Highly recommend Rid Pest—five stars all the way!

Had an excellent experience with RID for our pre-purchase inspection and getting some carpet treatment. Lovely people and would recommend to anyone
