​

How Often Should I Have My House Checked For Pests?
Generally a yearly inspection for termites and other pests is the best way to minimise pest infestations from developing. Depending on the type of pest and environment more regulartreatments may be required.

Pest Control Sprays are they Safe Around My Children And Pets?
Yes. We only use the safest, latest and fully tested products available. The treatments are also used in hospitals, schools, child care centres, food manufacturing and many other sensitive situations. In the interests of being extra careful and for full peace of mind there may be certain situations when we ask you to vacate the house during treatment. For instance if very young children, someone who is pregnant, or allergy or asthma sufferers are present. This is fully discussed and explained with you in advance and we will seek your permission before applying any treatment.

In regards to pets we would recommend that they be removed from the property during the application and for two hours after we complete the treatment.

What If I See A Pest After A Treatment?
Our treatments will see a strong reduction in the level of pests although total elimination may take several days. It's not unusual for pests to move about after a treatment. For example cockroach gels or baits are designed to encourage movement towards the bait. Always be assured if you have concerns do not hesitate to call us as our aim is to ensure you are happy with our service and the results. If they come back so will we.

What do I need to do before the treatment is carried out?
To enable us to complete the best application we ask that kid’s toys and any other loose items around the outside of the home be removed. Inside the home we would ask that all skiting boards and flooring be clear of loose clothing or toys. No need to move furniture. No need to empty kitchen cupboards with the exception of German cockroaches. In this case we would request that the kitchen cupboards be emptied.

How long do I have to wait before I can go inside or outside?
This depends on the type of pests being treated. Generally you don’t have to leave the property however we will advise you at the time of your enquiry. Once a liquid treatment has dried it is safe to enter the area. When we apply external spray pesticides, your technician will ask you to close all windows and external doors. For internal treatments that involve applying a fine mist pesticide, such
as flea treatments, you will be required to leave the property for a short period of time.
