Pricing & Pest‑Management Programs

Every property is different — and so is every pest‑management challenge. Our pricing is structured to be transparent, fair, and tailored to the scale, terrain, and activity levels on your land. We offer flexible programs designed to support both one‑off operations and long‑term management goals across rural NSW.


Our service options include single‑visit control work, seasonal protection programs, and ongoing property management plans for landholders who require regular monitoring and responsive action. Each program is built around a property‑specific assessment, ensuring you only pay for the time, equipment, and strategies genuinely required.


We provide clear, upfront costings before any work begins, with no hidden fees. All programs include detailed reporting, professional communication, and a commitment to ethical, compliant, and results‑driven pest control. Whether you’re protecting livestock during lambing, reducing feral pig pressure, or managing year‑round pest activity, we deliver reliable solutions that fit your property and your budget.


Our pricing structure is aligned with NSW industry standards for professional feral‑pest control. 
Most operators in the sector use flat, bundled visit fees that include labour, equipment, fuel, and ammunition. Davrac follows the same overall pricing range, with standard visit costs comparable to the $500–$600 baseline commonly advertised across NSW.


Where Davrac differs is in our commitment to transparent, itemized ammunition accounting. Instead of hiding ammunition inside a single flat fee, we provide:

  • A clear base operational charge
  • A realistic included ammunition allowance
  • Simple per‑round pricing for any additional ammunition used


This approach ensures landholders only pay for what is genuinely required on their property. It also supports better planning, auditing, and long‑term property management — especially for commercial farms, multi‑property holdings, and coordinated neighbour programs.


In short: our pricing aligns with industry norms, but our transparency sets a higher standard. 
Landholders receive the same competitive rates seen across NSW, with the added benefit of full visibility over ammunition usage and operational costs.

Fully Licensed and Fully Insured

Davrac Rural Pest Services is fully licensed and fully insured, holding $20 million public liability insurance. All operations are conducted lawfully, safely, and in accordance with NSW requirements, ensuring landholders and agencies are protected at all times

What Influences Final Pricing?


What Determines Your Final Pest‑Control Cost


Pricing Factors

Every rural property is unique, and effective pest‑management requires a plan that matches the land, the species, and the level of activity. When preparing a quote for Davrac Rural Pest Services, we assess the following:

Property size, layout and terrain

Large acreages, uneven ground, thick scrub, waterways or difficult access points all influence how long the job will take and what equipment is required.

Access requirements (vehicle, UTV, on‑foot)

Some areas can be serviced by vehicle, while others require UTV or on‑foot access. This affects time on‑site, equipment selection and the safest way to complete the work.

Target pest species and infestation levels

Different pests require different treatment methods, baiting strategies, trapping systems or monitoring schedules. The level of activity also affects how many visits or follow‑ups are needed.

Type of treatment or control method

Baiting, trapping, monitoring, exclusion work or integrated pest‑management programs each have different material, labour and time requirements.

Travel distance to your property

Travel time and fuel are included in all quotes. Remote or hard‑to‑reach locations may require additional allowances to ensure safe and efficient service delivery.

Neighbouring property coordination

Where multiple landholders participate in a coordinated program, efficiency improves and overall costs may be reduced. Joint operations can influence the scope and pricing.

Reporting and compliance needs

Whether you need a simple service summary, detailed treatment records, GPS‑logged activity, or compliance‑ready documentation (e.g., for biosecurity or property management), reporting requirements are factored into the final price.

Clear, Upfront Pricing — No Surprises

All pricing is confirmed before any work begins.
You’ll know exactly what’s included, what to expect, and how the service will be delivered — ensuring transparency, confidence and value for money.


Custom GPS Tracking & Detailed Reporting

GPS mapping supports accurate documentation of pest‑management activities and property coverage


Effective feral pest control isn’t guesswork — it’s planned, measured, and accountable.
At Davrac Rural Pest Services, every operation is supported by custom GPS tracking and clear, practical reporting, giving landholders confidence that control work is targeted, compliant, and delivering real outcomes.

Purpose‑Driven GPS Tracking

Our GPS systems are used to plan, execute, and review each operation — not just to record movement. Tracking data allows us to:

  • Confirm areas covered during each control operation
  • Identify high‑pressure travel corridors, feeding zones, and activity hotspots
  • Adjust future visits based on real‑world movement and terrain access
  • Avoid unnecessary overlap or disturbance

This ensures time in the paddock is spent where it delivers the greatest reduction in pest pressure

Property‑Specific Mapping

Every property is different. GPS data is mapped against:

  • Property boundaries and access points
  • Terrain features such as gullies, timbered areas, creeks, and fence lines
  • Known movement routes and pressure zones

This allows for precision control, not blanket coverage — improving efficiency while reducing non‑target risk.

Clear, Practical Reporting

After each operation, clients receive a clear summary of work completed, tailored to the level of detail required. Reports may include:

  • Areas accessed and covered
  • Control method used
  • Observed pest activity and pressure indicators
  • Follow‑up recommendations

Reporting is designed to be useful, not jargon‑filled, making it suitable for:

  • Landholder records
  • Ongoing management planning
  • Council or compliance documentation

Supports Long‑Term Management

For landholders under ongoing pressure from wild dogs, feral pigs, or foxes, GPS tracking and reporting allow us to:

  • Monitor changes in pest activity over time
  • Refine seasonal strategies
  • Demonstrate progress and identify reinfestation early

This approach supports structured, long‑term control programs rather than one‑off reactions.

Accountability You Can Trust

GPS‑supported operations provide transparency and assurance that:

  • Control work is targeted and purposeful
  • Operations are conducted lawfully and professionally
  • Time and resources are used efficiently

It’s a straightforward system that backs up our commitment to doing the job properly, with no shortcuts and no guesswork
