Best pest control in Morley and Midland (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated pest control and termite companies working across Morley, Midland and Perth’s eastern suburbs: Guildford, Bassendean, Bayswater, Mount Lawley and Maylands. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Pest control is a service-area trade, dispatched to your door rather than run from a shopfront, so this is an honest read of the top ten pest controllers that genuinely service this stretch: local operators based right in Mount Lawley and Midland, a national brand with a depot in Kewdale, and a group of established Perth firms that regularly work the eastern corridor. The area has its own pest profile: the older character homes in Mount Lawley, Maylands, Bayswater and heritage Guildford, many built well before modern termite barriers were standard, sit close to the Swan River foreshore reserves, and that combination of old timber, established gardens and river-adjacent parkland makes termites and rodents the two big worries here, alongside the general ant and cockroach pressure every Perth suburb deals with. Below you’ll find what pest and termite work really costs in 2026, why a WA pest technician has to be licensed, the door-knocker scams to watch for, and a quick checklist before you let anyone spray around your home.

How we ranked these pest controllers
- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every pest controller’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps.
- Rating first, review volume breaks ties. We rank by star rating, and where two firms share a rating we favour the one with the deeper, more proven review base, which is why All-U-Need Pest Control & Termite Treatment Perth (5.0 from 2,810) leads the page by a wide margin.
- Firms that actually service the east. Pest control is a mobile trade, run out of a van and a spray rig rather than a shopfront, so most good firms cover a wide slice of the metro. Every business here services Morley and the eastern suburbs. Mount Lawley Pest Control, Stewarts Pest Control and Jim’s Termite & Pest Control Midland are all based right in the area, and the rest are established Perth pest companies, including national brand Rentokil, that regularly work the eastern corridor. We’ve flagged which is which so you know who’s local.
- Pest controllers, not hardware stores or generic listings. We only counted businesses that turn up and do the treatment themselves, not directories, suppliers or franchises with no reviews of their own.
- Below 4.3 stars, or too few reviews to trust, didn’t make the cut. Challenge Pest Control (4.0) and Midland Pest Control (4.2) sat below our 4.3 bar, and a handful of local outfits (Crittorex, Home Shorex, StrikeNova) had a five-star rating from only 2-3 jobs; good signs, but not enough of a track record yet to rank above a proven operator.

Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- The door-knocker who “noticed termites next door”. A technician who turns up unannounced saying your street has an outbreak, and can treat today at a special price, is running a classic scare play. Never sign on the spot. Get your own independent inspection and quotes.
- A termite “spray” with no inspection and no plan. A proper termite job starts with a written inspection to AS 3660, then a barrier or a baiting system. Anyone offering to just spray the skirting boards is wasting your money, and surface sprays can scatter a colony and hide the problem so it does more damage.
- No pest technician’s licence. In WA, applying pesticides for money requires a licensed pest management technician. If someone can’t show a current licence, don’t let them treat your home.
- No product or safety detail. You should be told exactly what product is being used, that it’s APVMA-registered, and be given the safety information, especially with kids, pets or a veggie patch.
- Cash-only, no invoice. A legitimate operator gives you a proper invoice with their ABN and licence number on it. Cash-only with nothing in writing leaves you with no recourse and no warranty.
- Vague or missing warranty. Termite work should come with a warranty period in writing. If they won’t commit anything to paper, treat that as a red flag.
- Pressure to sign a long contract on the spot. Annual maintenance contracts are normal, but you should have time to read the terms, not be pressured into signing at the door.
- No public liability insurance. Ask to see a current certificate of currency. If they can’t produce one, you’re carrying the risk if something goes wrong.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- Licensed technician. Check the person applying the chemical holds a current WA pest management technician licence. It’s a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Written inspection and report for termites. A termite job should start with a written inspection to AS 3660, setting out what was found, the risk, and the recommended treatment, before any money changes hands.
- Registered, safe products. Confirm the products are APVMA-registered and ask for the safety information, and tell them about pets, children or a veggie garden so they apply accordingly.
- Right treatment for the pest. For termites, ask them to explain barrier versus baiting for your site, especially for older character homes with limited subfloor access. For rodents near the river reserves, ask about proofing entry points, not just baiting.
- Insurance. Ask for current public liability cover and sight the certificate.
- Warranty in writing. Get the warranty term and what it covers in writing alongside the quote, both for termite work and general pest treatments.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these pest controllers?
By their live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps. We rank by star rating first, and break ties by review volume, which is why All-U-Need Pest Control & Termite Treatment Perth (5.0 from 2,810 reviews) leads the page by a wide margin. Pest control is a service-area trade, so rather than insisting every business sits inside the cluster, we checked each one genuinely services Morley and the eastern suburbs, and flagged the locally based operators (Mount Lawley Pest Control, Stewarts Pest Control and Jim’s Termite & Pest Control Midland) versus established Perth firms, including national brand Rentokil, that cover the east. Suppliers and no-review newcomers were left out, and two firms below our 4.3 rating bar (Challenge Pest Control at 4.0, Midland Pest Control at 4.2) sat below the cut.
Which suburbs does this cover?
Morley, Midland, Guildford, Bassendean, Bayswater, Mount Lawley and Maylands. Every business on this page was checked to genuinely service this stretch of Perth’s eastern suburbs.
Are these paid placements?
No. The ranking is entirely earned off real Google reviews. Featured spots are a separate, clearly labelled section above the ranking for businesses that want extra visibility, and paying for one has zero effect on where a business sits in the review-ranked list below.
Do pest controllers need a licence in WA?
Yes. Anyone applying pesticides commercially in Western Australia must hold a current pest management technician licence. Always ask to see it before work starts.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
WA building standards and most warranties call for a termite inspection at least once a year, and every six months if you’re in an older character home near the river reserves, like those around Maylands, Bayswater and Guildford.
Why is termite risk higher in the older eastern suburbs?
Character homes in Mount Lawley, Maylands and heritage Guildford were mostly built before modern termite barriers became standard, and many sit close to the Swan River foreshore reserves where established trees and old timber give termite colonies somewhere to thrive.
Termite barrier or baiting system, which do I need?
A chemical barrier treats the soil around your home in one go and suits a standard block. A baiting system uses monitoring stations and suits sites where a full barrier is hard to install, like older homes with limited subfloor access. A good technician will explain which fits your property, not just upsell the pricier option.
Are the chemicals safe for kids and pets?
Registered products used correctly are designed to be safe once dry or per label instructions, but you should always ask for the specific product name, confirm it’s APVMA-registered, and follow any re-entry times given, especially with young kids, pets or a veggie patch.
How long does a general pest treatment last?
Most general pest treatments carry a 3-12 month effective period depending on the product and how exposed the home is to gardens and weather. Older homes with established gardens often need more frequent top-ups than newer builds.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. Ratings and review counts are pulled fresh from Google, so the order can shift as businesses earn new reviews.
