Pest control for your business
What kind of businesses do we service?
No matter what type of business you have, pests are just that, a PEST.
We provide services to a variety of different business types.
There are those with food safety requirements, such as cafes, restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries, pubs, school canteens, clubs, bakeries & butcheries.
We work with accommodation providers like motels, hotels, B&Bs & campgrounds.
There are others, such as general stores, hardware stores, mechanical workshops; libraries, schools, clubs and more. Whether your business type is in this list or not, we can formulate a treatment plan that is suitable for your specific business and circumstances.
What can we do for your business?
We provide a free, no obligation site visit and consultation where we will discuss your requirements, needs and objectives, and develop a suitable pest control plan at a price that works for you. We can also perform this over the phone if preferred.
Valleys Pest Services already has a variety of business clients throughout the Stroud, Dungog and Gloucester areas and currently has capacity for more.
Our commercial clients receive a discounted rate from residential services, as the services are performed on a more regular basis. We will discuss the recommended frequency with you when we provide the quotation; and provided you proceed with our recommended frequency, we can provide a warranty that covers you for any pest issue between services!

Pest control and real estate
Valleys Pest Services have relationships with a number of local real estates.
We are certified to perform Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspections (find out more here) to identify any issues with a property as it pertains to timber pests (such as termites or borers) to ensure that you can safely make an informed decision before making such a big investment!
We provide end-of-lease services including flea treatments necessary when pets have been living with you.
We work directly with local real estate agents and landlords to provide regular pest treatments and termite inspections to their properties, to take some of the work and worry off their plate by proactively contacting them prior to a repeat service being due so they don’t have to lift a finger.
Your legal obligations & food safety
Any businesses dealing with food must comply with The Food Standards Code & The Food Act 2003 (NSW).
The Food Standards Code requires that food businesses take all practicable measures to
- prevent pests entering the food premises
- eradicate and prevent the harbourage of pests on the food premises
You must be able to demonstrate the measures you have taken to meet these requirements. It is also vital that you ensure that any measures you take to control pests in the food environment are not only suitable for the purposes intended, but are specifically approved for use in food premises and will not contaminate food or food contact surfaces.
The consequences of non compliance are enforcement actions ranging from warning letters through to prosecution; not only this, but you risk your customers' health through food contamination and your business' reputation.
For these reasons, most businesses with food safety requirements choose to hire a licensed pest controller who can manage the obligations from a pest control perspective, leaving you to focus on doing what you do best - running your business. Valleys Pest Services manages the pest control of a variety of businesses with food safety requirements including cafes, restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries, pubs, school canteens, clubs, bakeries & butcheries. We start with a free, no obligation consultation either over the phone or on a site visit (depending on your preference and circumstances) where we will discuss your requirements, needs and objectives, and develop a suitable pest control plan at a price that works for your business.
