Company Background


Specialist Body Corporate Pest & Termite Management
Built for strata. Structured for managers. Clear for Committees.

Pest & Termite Defence is a Brisbane based, owner-operated pest management company specialising in Body Corporate pest control, common property treatments and termite inspection programs across Brisbane.

Led by Mitchell Pryce—a former Body Corporate Manager and licensed Pest Management Technician—our service combines practical strata management experience with qualified, hands-on pest and termite expertise.

We understand that successful Body Corporate service delivery involves more than completing the physical treatment or inspection. It requires:

  • A clearly defined and correctly followed work order
  • An understanding of common property, lot and exclusive-use boundaries
  • Effective coordination with managers, committees, caretakers and residents
  • Accurate documentation of access limitations and excluded areas
  • Practical recommendations that committees can understand and action
  • Reliable reporting that can be retained for maintenance and compliance records

This operational understanding allows us to provide a streamlined service with less administrative back-and-forth, clearer outcomes and fewer avoidable call-backs.

Our Body Corporate Services
Common Property Pest Management
Professional treatment programs for applicable common property areas, including:

  • External building perimeters
  • Stairwells, foyers and common corridors
  • Basements and car parks
  • Bin rooms and waste-storage areas
  • Gardens, grounds and landscaped areas
  • Plant rooms and shared service areas
  • Pool surrounds and communal facilities

Service programs can be structured as annual, six-monthly, quarterly or site-specific arrangements depending on pest pressure, property conditions and committee requirements.

Body Corporate Termite Inspections
We provide visual, non-invasive termite inspections of accessible common property areas, supported by clear written reporting and photographic evidence where relevant.

Inspection reporting may include:

  • Evidence of termite activity or timber damage
  • Conducive conditions and moisture concerns
  • Slab-edge and weep-hole observations
  • Timber-to-ground contact and landscaping risks
  • Durable termite management notices
  • Restricted or inaccessible areas
  • Prioritised risk observations
  • Practical recommendations for committee consideration

All termite inspections are personally completed by the owner and licensed technician, providing continuity between the onsite inspection, technical assessment and final report.

Rodent Management Programs
Our rodent management programs are designed around ongoing monitoring rather than simply placing bait and leaving the site.

Programs can include:

  • Secured rodent bait stations
  • Strategic station placement
  • Station identification and location records
  • Consumption and activity monitoring
  • Targeted rebaiting
  • Evidence and trend observations
  • Entry-point and proofing recommendations
  • Scheduled service reporting for Body Corporate records

Termite Management and Protection

Where termite activity or elevated risk is identified, we can provide further assessment and recommend appropriate termite management and barrier options, including:

Chemical soil barriers
Existing reticulation system servicing
Termite monitoring and baiting systems
Targeted treatment pathways
Ongoing inspection and management programs
Recommendations are based on the property’s construction, site conditions, access limitations, termite history and inspection findings—not a one-size-fits-all sales approach.

Resident Opt-In Programs
Where appropriate, we can coordinate optional pest control services for individual residents while attending the property for common property works.

Resident opt-in programs can:

  • Reduce the number of separate contractor visits
  • Improve treatment consistency across the complex
  • Provide residents with a convenient service option
  • Support coordinated access on the scheduled service day
  • Reduce the administrative burden on Body Corporate managers

We can assist with professionally prepared resident notices, booking instructions and practical access windows, including early appointments for residents leaving for work.
