Meet Mitchell Pryce
Owner & Licensed Pest Management Technician at Pest Termite Defence. Established in 2022.
Brisbane Pest Control, Done Properly
I established Pest Termite Defence (Pest and Termite Defence Pty Ltd) in 2022 to provide pest management, termite inspections and body corporate services throughout Brisbane.
As the business owner, I personally carry out every inspection. This provides clients with consistency from the initial enquiry through to the onsite work, reporting and recommendations.
I hold qualifications in Urban Pest Management and Timber Pest Management and provide practical, clearly documented services for residential, commercial and body corporate properties. I am an approved Termidor applicator. Termidor (fipronil) is our primary termiticide for chemical soil treatments, with other registered products used where the property or situation warrants a different approach.
Pest Termite Defence is based in Brisbane. Body corporate services cover Brisbane and surrounds. Our general pest control, termite inspection and rodent services primarily cover Brisbane Northside and the Moreton Bay region.

From Property and Body Corporate Experience to Pest Management
Before establishing Pest Termite Defence, I developed more than 11 years of combined experience across property-related industries, with much of that time involving body corporate buildings and residential complexes.
For approximately eight years, my work involved body corporate properties and the coordination of pest control services, including experience in body corporate management. This gave me a practical understanding of the challenges involved in maintaining properties with shared areas, from confirming common property boundaries and interpreting work orders to coordinating resident access and communicating with managers, committees, caretakers and owners.
During that time, I regularly saw contractors complete the physical work but provide limited information about what had been inspected, what had been identified or what action was required. This created difficulties for managers and committee members, particularly those who were not onsite and relied on the contractor's report to understand the condition of the property.
I moved into pest management because I saw an opportunity to combine technical pest control and termite inspection work with a practical understanding of body corporate operations.
That background shapes the way I operate Pest Termite Defence. I explain what the service includes and document my findings with photos. My reports explain what I inspected, what I found and what to do next, even if you could not be there.
Responsible Pest Management, Informed by Beekeeping
My approach to pest management is also influenced by my experience as a beekeeper. Beekeeping has given me a strong personal appreciation for managed honeybees, native bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Effective pest management remains essential, but it should be undertaken responsibly. Wherever practical, treatments are planned with consideration for flowering vegetation, surrounding environmental conditions, potential pollinator activity and other non-target organisms.
This means selecting appropriate registered products, following label requirements, applying treatments only where needed and favouring targeted treatment methods over unnecessary broad chemical application.

My property, body corporate and pest management experience allows me to look beyond the immediate pest issue. I understand that clients need more than a treatment. They need reliable attendance, clearly defined work, accurate records and recommendations they can confidently act on.
Together with my interest in beekeeping, that experience has shaped Pest Termite Defence into a service focused on thorough inspections, responsible treatment practices, detailed reporting and dependable outcomes.
