What Scientific Pest Management does

Scientific Pest Management (Australia/Pacific) Pty Ltd is an Australian pest management provider established in 1974, headquartered in Kingston, Queensland. The company operates two divisions — a Pest and Vermin Division delivering residential and commercial pest control, and a Weed and Vegetation Division — and since approximately 2014 has operated as part of Orkin Australia, leveraging the parent's national footprint to serve customers across Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory. Customers include major supermarket chains (Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, IGA, Costco), construction firms (Begbie Bentham Constructions), property management (Silk Yennora), and healthcare facilities.

The company's core offering is an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) service combining chemical barriers, physical barriers, and ongoing monitoring. Its proprietary termite barrier portfolio includes Protectant (a bonded termiticide with physical barrier component, CodeMark certified with a 50-year durability claim), Termigreen (a sustainable termite barrier with HIA Green Smart designation), and Premium Flow (a reticulation system using PC low-volume drippers delivering 98% coefficient of uniformity). Electronic data capture and a mobile CMS system support real-time incident management, bait station monitoring, and electronic service reporting. The company holds CodeMark, HACCP Australia, AS/NZS ISO 9001, AS/NZS 4801, and AS/NZS ISO 14001 certifications.

Revenue is generated through recurring commercial pest management programs (food & beverage, healthcare, logistics, government, hospitality), recurring residential pest control contracts, one-time termite barrier installations during construction, and professional services for vegetation management, compliance audits, and HACCP/ISO reporting. Distribution is sales-led via phone (1300 467 546), website enquiry forms, online self-service booking, and on-site licensed technician delivery across QLD, NSW, and ACT.
