Tropical Pest Control

Tropical Pest Control has been locally owned and operated since 1982. It is a family-run business, now operated by second-generation owner Todd Laister with father Graeme Laister; Todd purchased the business from his father in October 2018.

The company is fully licensed and compliant with Australian Standards for pest control, and is a fully accredited provider of Termidor, Sentricon and Term-Seal termite treatment solutions. It provides written and photographic pest inspection reports.

Bird control and general pest management in Mackay are handled by a local family-run operation whose customers frequently return over many years. Repeat clients describe annual reminder systems and treatments that keep homes and offices protected across the full year, with several noting they have relied on the team for five or more seasons at multiple properties.

Named staff members recur in feedback: Todd is thanked for his service, Damian is praised for listening patiently to questions and concerns, arriving proactive with practical solutions, while Katrina is described as thorough, efficient, punctual and hassle free. A number of reviews mention reliable, honest and accommodating service, a friendly team, and communication that makes the whole experience smoother and less stressful. The recurring themes are dependability of the treatment itself, the practical advice offered, and the ease of dealing with a small local business that maintains excellent customer relations.

Long-standing clients highlight consistent results at each visit, and the thoroughness of work carried out without fuss is a point that comes up often. Bird control work sits alongside building inspection and broader pest management tasks, and the annual treatment cycle is the service most often referenced by those who have stayed with the company for years.
