End of Lease Pest Control Sydney: Do You Really Need Flea Treatment & a Certificate to Get Your Bond Back?

Why Real Estate Inspections Are Asking for Pest Control Reports

When you’re vacating a rental in Sydney, your agent or landlord may request proof of pest control—especially if pets have lived on the property. This isn’t just red tape. Real estate agencies require an end-of-lease pest control certificate to show that fleas, cockroaches, and rodents have been professionally treated before new tenants move in.

What “Flea Treatment” Really Means for Tenants & Landlords

Fleas can survive months without a host. Even if your dog or cat is gone, flea eggs left in the carpet or subfloor can hatch later, creating a new infestation for the next tenant. A professional flea treatment includes a targeted spray that eliminates adults and larvae while preventing re-infestation for several weeks.

DIY vs Professional Flea Treatment

Over-the-counter sprays rarely reach larvae hidden in carpet fibres or furniture. Licensed pest controllers use approved chemicals and precise equipment that meet NSW tenancy requirements — and supply a certificate you can show to your agent.

Certificate of Treatment — Is It Mandatory in NSW?

While NSW tenancy law doesn’t explicitly force pest control, most lease agreements and agents require a certificate if pets were present. Without one, your bond could be withheld until proof is provided. Always confirm with your agent before you vacate.

What to Check on Your Certificate

• Company name & pest control licence number
