About us
Family-owned.
Melbourne-based.
Nature-first.
Candys and Ron started SOS Pest Control in 2003 with a simple belief: you shouldn't have to poison your home to protect it.
How it started
S.O.S Pest Control Pty Ltd is a family-oriented company owned and operated in Melbourne by Candys and Ron. What began as a shared passion for finding safer pest solutions has grown into one of Melbourne's most trusted pest management businesses.
We offer safer and greener pest solutions for residential and commercial clients across Melbourne. Our approach is different — we use integrated pest management that combines natural products, physical barriers, and targeted treatment.
Over 20 years later, the majority of our customers still come through referrals. When your neighbours recommend you, that says more than any advertisement.
Why natural matters
The case for eco-friendly pest control
Your children crawl on those floors
Conventional pesticides leave residues on surfaces where kids and pets spend most of their time. Our products break down naturally without leaving toxic traces.
Harsh chemicals create resistant pests
Overusing synthetic pesticides breeds resistance. German cockroaches in Melbourne are increasingly resistant to standard treatments. Our integrated approach avoids this cycle entirely.
The environment is part of the equation
Runoff from chemical treatments enters waterways and harms beneficial insects. Our eco-certified products target pest species specifically, leaving pollinators and soil biology intact.
Prevention beats reaction
We don't just kill what's there — we seal entry points, remove attractants, and install physical barriers. Prevention costs less and lasts longer than repeat chemical treatments.
No need to vacate your home
With conventional treatments, you often have to leave for hours. Our methods are safe enough that you can stay home during treatment — no disruption to your day.
