Running two techs off one ute? Your spray unit setup could be quietly costing you hours every week.

Most multi-tech teams are still running single-operator configurations, then wondering why jobs are taking longer than they should. Tangled hoses, waiting on access to reels, stopping to flush between chemicals, it all adds up fast when you've got two people on the clock.

We've put together a practical breakdown of how to configure a spray unit specifically for multi-tech teams, covering dual reels, separate tanks, independent pumps, zoning and capacity.

If you're scaling your crew, this is worth a read before you order your next rig.

Not all pest control jobs pay the same, and most techs don't realise how much their specialisation (or lack of it) is holding them back.

We broke down which types of work actually generate the best income in Australia, from termite jobs and commercial contracts to fumigation, pre-construction and running your own operation.

Spoiler: it's less about working more hours and more about positioning yourself in the right part of the industry.

Worth a read if you're thinking about where to take your career next, or how to start earning what your experience is actually worth.

Most pest control techs earn $70–80k, but higher income comes from specialised, commercial work and recurring revenue streams.

Winter is just next month… ❄️🐜

While the cooler weather means fewer flies around, it also brings a new challenge — pests looking for a warm place to hide. Homes become the perfect refuge, with entry points like walls, ceilings, piping, windows, and cupboards offering easy access.

🐀 Rats & Mice

Rodents are one of the most common winter pests, searching for warmth, shelter, and food. You’ll often hear them before you see them — scurrying through walls or ceilings at night. Signs to watch for include droppings, scratch marks, and damage around your home.

They can cause serious issues if left unchecked, from contaminating food in pantries to damaging furniture, cupboards, and insulation. One of the biggest risks is chewed electrical wiring, which can become a real fire hazard.
Staying on top of pest control through winter is key to protecting your home and avoiding costly damage down the track.

If you’re preparing for the colder months, make sure your pest control setup is ready - Austates has the equipment and solutions to help you stay ahead.
