Is pest treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use professional-grade, low-toxicity treatments that are safe for children and pets once dry. Our technicians follow strict safety protocols and will advise you on any specific re-entry times, which are typically 1–2 hours after treatment. We also offer eco-friendly and non-chemical treatment options for sensitive environments.

How long does pest treatment last?

A general pest treatment typically provides up to 6 months of protection depending on the pest type, property condition, and environmental factors. We recommend annual treatments for ongoing protection, or quarterly treatments for higher-risk properties. General pest spray treatments include a 6-month warranty (internal only). Follow-up treatments for active infestations of ants and German cockroaches are available at $165 per attendance. Our technicians can advise on the ideal treatment schedule for your specific situation.

Do I need to leave my home during treatment?

For most general pest treatments, you do not need to leave your home. We ask that you stay out of the immediate treatment area during application and for 1–2 hours afterward while the treatment dries. For more intensive treatments like termite barriers or fogging, we will provide specific preparation and re-entry instructions.

What pests do you treat?

We treat a comprehensive range of pests including cockroaches, ants, spiders, fleas, bed bugs, rodents, wasps, termites, silverfish, and stored product pests. We also offer specialist termite inspections, pre-purchase pest inspections, and ongoing pest management contracts for residential and commercial properties.

Do you offer ongoing pest management plans?

Yes. We offer scheduled pest management programs for both residential and commercial properties. These include regular inspections, preventative treatments, and priority call-out for any pest issues that arise between scheduled visits. Our commercial plans include compliance documentation and reporting for food safety and HACCP requirements.

How do I know if I have termites?

Signs of termite activity include mud tubes on walls or foundations, hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings near windows, and buckling or warped wood. However, termites can be present with no visible signs. We recommend annual professional termite inspections to detect activity early, as termite damage is not covered by most home insurance policies.
