Why it matters
In a lab, a pest isn't just
a pest. It's a contamination event.
A single rodent or cockroach in a laboratory environment can compromise samples, invalidate months of research, trigger regulatory consequences and create serious WHS concerns. The stakes are higher here than almost anywhere else.
Sample and research contamination
Rodents and cockroaches leave behind hair, droppings, urine and bacteria that can contaminate samples, cultures and specimens. Even a small contamination event can invalidate weeks or months of work - with significant cost and time consequences for your research program.
Equipment damage
Rodents chew through electrical wiring, tubing, insulation and calibration equipment. Damage to precision instruments can be extraordinarily expensive - and the downtime while equipment is repaired or replaced can halt entire research programs.
Accreditation and audit consequences
NATA-accredited laboratories and research facilities under OGTR, TGA or AQIS oversight are subject to rigorous facility standards. Pest evidence found during an audit can result in conditions being placed on your accreditation or registration - with serious consequences for your ability to operate.
WHS obligations are elevated
Laboratories often work with hazardous materials, biological agents and sensitive chemical compounds. Pest activity near these materials creates compounding WHS risks. Documented pest management is part of your overall laboratory safety management system.
Stored materials and consumables at risk
Rodents will target laboratory consumables, stored reagents, packaging and food materials in break rooms adjacent to lab areas. Beyond contamination, the replacement cost of compromised materials and the stock management implications can be significant.
Laboratory facility standards - NATA & regulatory bodies
Pest management is a facility standard requirement for accredited laboratories.
NATA accreditation requires laboratories to maintain facilities that are fit for purpose and free from conditions that could compromise the integrity of testing or calibration. Pest activity directly threatens this standard. Similarly, facilities operating under OGTR (Office of the Gene Technology Regulator), TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) or AQIS licensing have documented facility management requirements that include pest control. Your service records are expected evidence during accreditation assessments.
Our approach
Precision pest control
for precision environments.
We understand that a laboratory is not a standard commercial premise. Every decision we make - what products we use, where we treat, when we treat - is made with your research integrity and operational continuity as the priority.
01
Contamination-safe product selection
We work with your lab manager or safety officer to select products appropriate for your specific environment. We carry safety data sheets for every product and will never use anything near open samples, cultures, reagents or sensitive materials without your explicit approval.
02
Zone-by-zone treatment protocol
We treat laboratory facilities in clearly defined zones - non-lab areas (offices, break rooms, corridors) with standard methods, and laboratory areas with targeted gel bait and non-aerosol treatments only. We never introduce aerosol treatments into active lab spaces.
03
Scheduled around your operations
We treat during shutdown periods, overnight, on weekends or during planned maintenance windows - whatever works for your facility without interrupting active research or requiring sample or equipment shutdown.
04
Equipment and instrument protection
Precision instruments, calibration equipment and sensitive electronics are treated with targeted gel bait only. We identify and treat entry points, harborage areas and rodent pathways without risking damage to equipment.
05
Accreditation-ready documentation
Every visit produces a signed service report with all the detail your NATA or regulatory audit file needs - products used with safety data references, areas treated, pest activity observed, zone-specific treatment notes and recommendations.
06
Unlimited callouts
Research can't stop for a pest problem. Every subscription includes unlimited callouts at no extra charge. If something shows up between scheduled visits, we'll be there as fast as we can.

Questions
Everything you need
to know.
We use targeted gel bait treatments in laboratory areas rather than spray or aerosol products. Gel bait is placed in cracks, crevices and harborage points away from open samples, equipment and work surfaces. We consult with your lab manager before every treatment to confirm the approach is appropriate for current operations. We can provide safety data sheets for any product on request.
Yes. We treat around sensitive instruments using only targeted gel bait - no aerosols, no sprays. We focus on rodent entry points, pathways and harborage areas near equipment rather than the equipment itself. If rodents are chewing wiring or getting into instrument housings, we address the entry points and the pathway - not just the symptom.
After every visit we provide a signed service report including technician name and licence number, date and time, all areas treated with zone-specific notes, products used with safety data references, pest activity observed and recommendations. This documentation is formatted to satisfy NATA assessors, TGA, OGTR and AQIS audit requirements.
We work entirely around your schedule - overnight, weekends, during planned maintenance shutdowns or any other window that doesn't interrupt active research. We coordinate with your facilities or lab management team to find the least disruptive timing for every visit.
Yes. We cover Brisbane, the Gold Coast and surrounds. We also service some North NSW areas. Call us to confirm your location.
