We hope you find it helpful as you try to make the best and most educated decision about what is good for you and your family.

A licensed pest controller is trained in a lot more than just applying chemicals. Their qualifications provide the knowledge and ability to use a range proven methods to stop pest activity and reduce the potential of future infestations. 

As a starting point they inspect your house to look at any environmental factors triggering the infestation. They know how and where to check for breeding areas and entry points. Once they know the extent of the problem, they will help you select the most appropriate treatment.

Many of the treatments used in residential pest control are also used in hospitals, restaurants, cafes and food manufacturing plants.

If a chemical treatment is required a pest controller will use only the minimum amount required to do the job, in the areas where it will be most effective. The treatments are designed to have an immediate impact and also provide ongoing protection.

Based on their experience and knowledge a pest controller will recommend what you should do to avoid or minimise further problems, for example blocking off access points or controlling moisture level. 

This will vary greatly depending on the type of pest and the level of infestation. Most pest control companies will give you a price for a standard pest treatment but make sure you understand exactly what you are getting for that price. A good pest controller will explain this for you.

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.

Treatment is a general term use to simply describe the many methods and options available to a licensed pest controller.

Options include gels, pastes, baits, granules, dusts, mist sprays or water based liquid sprays. The type of application used is determined by the type of pest, infestation severity and the access to the problem area. In some situations more than one type of treatment may be required.

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. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available available on request.

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.

Generally no. Most treatments are odourless.
