Scrub all floors of the house, including vacuum carpets and carpets. When scrubbing or mopping the floor, make sure to use a good cleaning agent to ensure that any traces of insect eggs and their food sources are removed.
Empty your kitchen cupboards before the arrival of the pest control technician. This allows the technician gain the access they require. You should store the contents of your cupboards in another part of your home and coverup.
Make sure your clothes, children’s toys; jewellery, makeup, toiletries, etc. are all packed, preferably in plastic.

Get your hairy pets’ fleas and ticks treated at the vet, put your pet outside or friend’s place during pest control treatment, store your pet’s bedding and toys with care.

F.A.Q.
ARE FORMULATIONS HARMFUL?
We use the safest formulations available to us at the time of treatment. The formulations used are likened to the toxicity of table salt and has no odour. We still ask customers to vacate the premises to allow it to dry. This can be faster in summer than in winter. On average this is about 1 hour.
DOES THE SPRAY AFFECT HUMANS?
No, the formulations can be used safely in your home as we use the same formulations in child care centres, nursing homes and hospitals.
How soon should I see results from the pest control services?
Our materials and techniques may take a few days to work. We expect that you will see a difference right after we treat your home, but you may still see some pests for two to three weeks after treatment. After that timeframe, if you are still having a problem, contact us right away.
DO I NEED TO PREPARE ANYTHING BEFORE MY TREATMENT?
If you are having a rodent treatment, you do not need to prepare anything. If you are having a general pest treatment you should put all food items away, including cookware, crockery and cutlery. Externally, all clothes should be removed from the clothesline, all windows closed and pet bowls turned over. The technician will advise if there are any other requirements on the day.
WHICH AREAS WILL BE TREATED?
If you have an ant or spider treatment done, we will treat all skirting areas where necessary, in the roof cavity and under house were access can be gained. Externally we treat all window and door frames, eaves, garden beds, pathways, fence line, garages and sheds, any other outbuildings including the kids cubby. All properties are treated on an individual basis.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
This is highly dependent on the size of the property being treated, but usually a general pest treatment for house may take an hour to one and half hours with a rodent treatment taking about 45 minutes. A more specific time can be provided upon making a booking.
