Tell us what you're seeing

Most people know their pest, not the treatment. Pick what's bothering you and we'll show you how we handle it — then send the details straight to Garry and Josh.

Spiders

Webs and nesting around eaves, garages and sheds

We treat the nesting and web areas — eaves, walls, frames, garages and sheds — inside and out, so webs stop coming back between visits.

Spiders are the number-one call we get in the Barossa. It's a routine treatment we do every week.

Year-round protection

The smart way to keep a home pest-free

Insect Invasion's model is preventative — a full internal and external treatment that protects your home all year, not a one-off panic call. Here's how a visit works.

01

Inside

We treat the living spaces and problem rooms — kitchens, bathrooms, laundries — where pests are active.

02

The perimeter

A protective treatment around the outside of your home — the boundary that stops pests before they reach the door.

03

Entry points

Eaves, weep holes, window frames, garages and sheds — the gaps pests use to get in are treated too.

04

Seasonal top-ups

For most Barossa homes, once a year keeps it under control. If something's seasonal, we time it right.

It's the low-stress way to stay on top of pests — booked in once, done properly inside and out, and there when you need us in between. Most customers book once a year and rarely think about pests again.

Barossa homes protected since 2009

Some of our customers have been with us for over a decade.

That's the whole pitch. Not a headline number we can't back up — just families who've had the same father and son spraying the same homes for five, eight, even eleven years, and keep booking us back.

A perfect 5.0 from 8 real reviews — every one five stars. You deal with Garry and Josh, not a call centre.

We've had Garry and Josh out every year for as long as I can remember. Easy to book, always friendly, and it just works.

Meet Garry & Josh

A Barossa father and son

Insect Invasion is Garry Pape and his son Josh — a family pest-control business that's been protecting Barossa and Adelaide homes since 2009. When you call, you get one of them: the person who'll actually turn up, do the treatment, and be back next year.

No call centre, no rotating contractors, no upsell — just honest, careful work from a family who've been doing it for over fifteen years. It's the reason customers stay with us for a decade and recommend us to their neighbours.
