A Barossa family who've been at this since 2009
Fifteen-plus years of careful work, and customers who don't leave. Insect Invasion is a genuinely established family business — and this is the honest version of who we are.
Built on staying, not selling
Insect Invasion started in 2009 and has quietly kept Barossa and Adelaide homes protected ever since. It's never been a big operation, and that's the point — it's Garry and his son Josh, doing the work themselves, treating each home the way they'd treat their own.
Over the years the reviews that mean the most haven't been about clever marketing — they've been from people who've had us back every year for five, eight, even eleven years. That loyalty is worth more than any headline number, and it's the whole reason we do things the way we do.
The same faces, every year
You get Garry or Josh — not a rotating list of contractors. That continuity is why customers stay with us for a decade.
Honest before easy
If you don't need a treatment, we'll say so. We'd rather keep your trust than pad a bill.
Genuinely local
We live and work in the Barossa. We know the homes, the seasons and the pests that come with them.

On the road since 2009
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.
