Effective Date: March 2026 | Last Updated: March 2026
About These Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of Radar Pest Control's services and website. By requesting a quote, booking a service, or engaging with us in any way, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Radar Pest Control is a family-owned pest control business operating on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. We're committed to delivering professional, safe, and effective pest management services in accordance with Australian Standards and regulations.
About Us & Licensing
Radar Pest Control is an owner-operated pest control business licensed to operate in Queensland, Australia.
License Details:
- Pest Management Technician License: PMT5005626616
- QBCC Registration: 15024491

Our owner, Mick Smith, brings over 10 years of pest control experience to every job. We are fully insured with appropriate public liability and professional indemnity coverage.
Services & Quoting
When you contact Radar Pest Control, we will provide you with an obligation-free quote based on the information you provide and (if applicable) a site inspection.
- Quote Validity: All quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated in writing
- Price Changes: Final pricing may vary if on-site conditions differ significantly from what was described during the quote process (e.g., unexpected infestation severity, site access issues, additional areas requiring treatment). Any price adjustment will be discussed with you before work commences
- Standards Compliance: All pest control work is carried out in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and Queensland pest control regulations. For termite work, we comply with AS3660
- Site Access: You must provide safe and unobstructed access to all treatment areas. We cannot proceed if access is blocked or unsafe conditions exist
Service Guarantee & Warranty
General Pest Control Guarantee
Most general pest control treatments (cockroaches, spiders, ants, etc.) include a 6-month free service period. This means if you experience a problem with the specific pest treated during the first 6 months, we will return to address the issue at no additional cost.
What the 6-Month Free Service Covers:
- Return visit to re-treat the same pest species that was originally treated
- Our labour and standard treatment materials
What It Does NOT Cover:
- New pest species not included in the original treatment
- Additional charges if customer did not follow post-treatment advice
- Re-infestation caused by structural issues, neighbouring properties, or lack of maintenance
Termite Treatment Warranty
Termite treatments (barriers, spot treatments, baiting systems) have separate warranty and guarantee terms that will be discussed with you at the time of service and provided in writing. These are NOT covered by the general pest control guarantee above. Please ask us to explain your specific warranty at the time of quoting.
Important Warranty Conditions
The service guarantee is conditional on you:
- Following all post-treatment advice provided by Radar Pest Control
- Maintaining reasonable hygiene standards in treated areas
- Not altering or interfering with treated areas (e.g., washing treated surfaces immediately, removing treated bait stations)
- Providing access for any follow-up inspections or re-treatments as required
Realistic Expectations: No pest control company can guarantee 100% eradication of pests. Pest management is an ongoing process. Re-infestation can occur due to factors beyond our control (structural damage, neighbouring properties, seasonal factors, customer's failure to follow advice). The guarantee applies only to the specific treatment we perform, not to your premises remaining pest-free indefinitely.
Customer Obligations
When you engage Radar Pest Control, you agree to:
- Provide Access: Ensure safe, clear, and unobstructed access to all treatment areas on the scheduled service date
- Disclose Health Information: Inform us of any known health conditions, allergies, chemical sensitivities, pregnancy, or respiratory conditions that may affect treatment choices
- Secure Pets: Remove pets or secure them as instructed before treatment. Tell us if you have any pets, fish, birds, or other animals in the home
- Follow Post-Treatment Advice: Adhere to all instructions we provide after treatment (e.g., ventilation time, re-entry times, cleaning restrictions)
- Vacate Treated Areas: Leave treated areas for the advised period and do not return until we confirm it is safe to do so
- Maintain Property: Take reasonable steps to maintain the property and prevent new infestations (repair cracks, improve ventilation, remove food sources)
Payment Terms
Payment is due on the day of service (Cash on Delivery). We accept cash, card payments, or invoices issued on the day of service.
If you prefer an invoice for later payment, please discuss this when booking. Overdue invoices may void your service guarantee and may prevent scheduling future services until the account is settled. We reserve the right to engage a debt collection agency for outstanding balances.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Currently, we do not charge a cancellation fee. However, we greatly appreciate reasonable notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.
Mick is owner-operated and schedules his own time. Last-minute cancellations affect his ability to serve other customers, so your cooperation in providing advance notice is appreciated.
Radar Pest Control reserves the right to introduce a formal cancellation policy with advance notice if needed. Any policy change will be communicated to customers before implementation.
Limitation of Liability
Radar Pest Control carries appropriate public liability and professional indemnity insurance covering our services. However, our liability is limited in the following ways:
We are NOT liable for:
- Pre-existing Pest Damage: Damage to your property caused by pests before our treatment (e.g., termite damage to timber)
- Re-infestation: Re-infestation caused by structural issues, neighbouring properties, or factors outside our control
- Customer Non-Compliance: Issues arising from your failure to follow post-treatment instructions
- Unsecured Items: Damage to items you did not move or secure as instructed before treatment
- Indirect Loss: Lost profits, business interruption, or consequential loss
Liability Cap: Our liability is limited to the value of the service provided (the amount charged for the treatment).
Consumer Guarantees: Nothing in these terms excludes consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. You retain all statutory rights as a consumer, and these terms do not remove or limit those rights.
