Total lack of Respect for customers
This company charges twice as much as my now preferred company, and i had to get them to come back as we STILL had spiders every were. And they will NOT stop calling me - at work!
I used their service, then found out i was paying twice as much, for no great results. they recommended a Termite report should be done due to some "evidence" of possible termites - report was free, so i had it done. Their report indicated "POSSIBLE" risk, and quoted me thousands for preventative treatment. Watch OUT - scare tactics only.
The other company i ha...Read more

Worst ever pest control total rip off
First time I used them they had to come back 3 times as they use contractors they screw them for payments so the contractor has to screw us 12 months later next bloke he was brilliant but he had a fallout with them. Next time the guy was here for 10 minutes no change to the cockies so I called them back after 6 weeks was told to wait another 6 weeks, rang worst service my complaint was not forwarded and another argument everytime they call today was the last time I've told them to stop calling, they won't so from now on as there service is a ripoff I'll be rude. Do not use this company.

Avoid Promaster!!
Terrible. They hassle you with phone calls and do a crap job at pest controls. When they called me for another booking I told them we still have ants after their last treatment and asked to claim under their "warranty". The call centre refused to process the warranty claim and said I would have to call head office for which they refused to give me their number. They then called a few months later and I told them the story and they refused to remove me off the call list and said I have to call head office. Scammers!

No spray
This year they charged a fair bit more and only did an 'inspection'. No spray at all - said to have it done in six months. No thank you!

Terrible
These guys are terrible! Simple don't use them!
They annoy the hell out of you - I had about 5 missed calls and voice messages in one day.
There operators are rude.
The first operator did a half sass attempt of spraying I had to get someone back in as their spray had no effect.
Such a terrible place to deal with and they make out there product is the only water resistant one out there.
Don't use this company!

Never use promaster
Worst thing I have ever done was use this pathetic company! The company is a bigger nuisance than we had with cockroaches and spiders. They will constantly call you wanting you to make another booking, we would receive anywhere from 3-10 phone calls each week. When I threatened to take legal action against them for harassment and made formal complaints to ACMA than the pathetic company got the hint, they do NOT understand what 'Don't call me again, please remove my name and phone number from your calling list' means. I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy! The only hope is they close down forever very soon.

Terrible customer service - unprofessional at every level
When mice arrived two weeks after Promaster, nobody responded to my email or phone call. I had to catch the family of mice myself. Disappointing, but no big deal, these things happen. Yet when I told this to each of the 5 people who have rung me since, and also asked them not to ring me, apparently I have to call the office myself because it's a separate company. They can't pass on a message to the person who pays them? Like other reviewers here, the calls have become harassing. Being told condescendingly that I should have kept chasing t...Read more
hem during the warranty period. Not the attitude I'd expect from sales staff. All I want is no further contact. Computer says no. When I asked to have the supervisor call me back, I was told that she may not call me because she is very busy! So I did call the main company, the receptionist was the only person who was polite. Every person higher up the chain was rude and arrogant, nobody apologised. Of course, the boss doesn't handle complaints but hilariously (or infuriatingly) nobody else in the company handles complaints either. It's truly mind-boggling that the website advertises a dedication to customer service. That receptionist should definitely find a better place to work. I originally recommended them to my neighbours too. They came back twice within the warranty period - still cockroaches. For me, one of the 'sales representatives' who called me told me that if I rang the company back, they could offer me a free mouse/rat treatment (big deal, they charge $30 for 2 or 3 boxes with a ratsack bait inside). But I would have to pay $200 for another cockroach treatment. Both irrelevant since I fixed the problem. But the constant calls are a big problem. I asked why did I have to call Promaster when I'm talking to Promaster right now?!! Again, computer says no. I live in an upstairs apartment and would recommend DIY with the blue baits from supermarkets (if like me, you lay ratsack baits only to find ratsack coloured mouse poop). Keep home clear of food scraps/crumbles, use containers to store food with packaging that cockroaches can nibble through and spray window frames and doorways with surface spray every 3-4 months and that seems to work. If you have a ground level dwelling, it's harder so try a DIFFERENT COMPANY with good reviews. My parents have been using Promaster for years but, like other reviewers, the quality has deteriorated. Last week the pest controllers arrived to spray their backyard while it was raining. My parents weren't going to pay for the treatment to be washed down the drain. Yet the pest controllers seemed puzzled to be sent away (nice if it works!). Only use this company if you have more money than brains. If the boss had the good manners to return my call, I would not have cause to write this post. Promaster has such lazy and pompous employees who only wish to exert minimum effort - clearly they don't need our money or recommendations.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Completely Ineffective
I used Promaster only to find that the Pest Control guy only did a lousy 10 minute spray of our rather large home. My house still has a number of German roaches, spiders and other critters that are just chilling out like the place was never sprayed. Utterly hopeless and wish that I saw all these negative reviews sooner.

Bad reviews, well justified.
We used them once and the "inspector" was beyond hopeless. Like so many others I have subsequently had to endure endless harassing phone calls. Don't use them. Let them go broke. Then they'll stop bothering us.

I wish they'd go away
As with other reviewers, I am fed up with their constant phone calls. When I tell them to take my name off the list they talk over me. No matter what I do I still get these aggressive phone calls. Several years ago they were quite good, but no longer. Now they are a pest!

Avoid promaster
Avoid Promaster. I have used them for a number of years. They were ok oinitially but last year they didn't show for one appointment and then ran so late for follow up I told them not to show and kindly informed them I would go elsewhere in the future. Ever since they have been calling weekly on phone and mobile. This has been going on for 6 months. They were rude and aggressive when I requested they remove my details from their system. They have ignored my request and are continually call me from a 'no id' number. I am now at stage of calling Fair Trading to lodge formal complaint. Please avoid this desperate and unprofessional company!

DO NOT USE!!!
We used "pro"master only once. They did such a terrible job they had to come back 3 more times.
They also call EVERY WEEK to harass my family. This is obviously an illegitimate company and I have referred them to the NSW Police.
DO NOT USE THEM!!!!

Bad value for money - poor inspections
We've used Promaster for a few years and at first they were good. The last couple of years the level of inspection has severely deteriorated. As with another reviewer, they continue to call any phone number you have given them and then if you do answer, they give you a hard sell which I don't appreciate. This year we decided to try and new company and found out that the 'inspections' that had previously been done by Promaster had failed to pick up several issues that had been inside and outside the house for well over a year when Promaster s...Read more
hould have picked them up. Promaster uses contractors who don't care about anything other than collecting their payment. Last year they guy said we had roof rats and quoted us a figure. When we said 'no' he said that if we paid cash to him, he'd cut the price by 50% - wonder where the money went to. Don't use Promaster!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
This company anoys the hell out of me
Since I have used these people once, they have called me up on my mobile phone every week or so to tell me I haven't used their services. This is despite having asked them each time to take me off their contact list. They use the lame excuse that the are only in the sales team, and they can't do it. A bit like "the computer says no".
Don't use them unless you want to be 'bugged' with spam calls the rest of your life.

Do not use them - German cockroaches and spiders still in ample of supply
Used their service and no improvements to our insect problems whatsoever. Called them 3 times but the connection kept getting "lost" (they hang up on us) and they did not reply to our e-mails. Scam!

Very poor value, but maybe ok if you have a very small home where all areas are easily accessible.
I am a first time and very recent customer (in 2nd week of December) based on the Central Coast, NSW.
Their phone sales staff are indeed pushy, amateur sounding, but not rude or discourteous.
The service - the actual application of pest control chemicals - was very half arsed, and absolutely disappointing considering the premium price they charge.
They're supposed to treat skirting boards - the half arsed operator at my place sprayed many inches away from the skirting boards onto my floor and walls, seemingly making no effort to ensure corre...Read more
