Who we are

Fortified Pest Protection is a family owned business run by Michael (Mick), the owner and sole operator. From your first phone call or message through to the quote, scheduling, and on-site treatment, you’ll deal directly with Michael, the same friendly face you’ll meet at your property. No call centres, no AI messages, and no lost information between staff.

Originally from rural South Australia, Michael brings a genuine approach to every job. He’s always happy to have a chat and treats every customer like a friend or neighbour.

We started this business to fill a real gap in the Ballarat region. Being so close to Melbourne, we saw too many locals dealing with big franchises and impersonal 1800-number services. Many people told us they’d had bookings cancelled at the last minute or felt brushed off when calling about warranty work or to ask questions about their services. We wanted to change that.

Our goal is simple: give Ballarat and surrounding areas a pest controller they can truly rely on, someone professional, responsive, and easy to talk to, whether it’s a serious infestation or just a quick question about bees in the garden.
