The simple answer to this question is, well it depends! Before we delve into the time specifics, it’s important to note that the pest control products available to licensed pest controllers are designed to be low in toxicity and lower in residual effects for general pest control purposes.

Once upon a time, many moons ago, it was common to only have an annual pest control or even a 24 month treatment – due to the products available being that powerful and toxic. Thankfully these type of products are not produced anymore and not even a rouge pest controller can gain access to such products.

Most of our residential clients are on a 6-12monthly schedule. This period will be vary depending upon the individual property and for commercial pest control in most cases quarterly treatment are recommended.

General pest control treatments for residential homes traditionally cover both internal and external perimeter of the property. This may include any outbound areas such as sheds, larger detached dwellings and all areas will be discussed upfront when you meet your pest controller prior to any treatment.

Typically the following is a list of what areas are included with your pest control:

Your External Barrier:

• A perimeter barrier will be sprayed around the base of the exterior of the house
• Weep holes & wall cavities will be treated with insecticidal dust that spreads throughout the wall cavities
• External barrier is sprayed around the windows, doors, under gutters / eaves and to all attached dwellings to the main residence.

Your Internal Barrier:

• An internal barrier is sprayed to skirting, corners and cornices where appropriate
• Baiting gels and non-toxic traps are used in kitchens, bathrooms and cupboards
• Insecticidal aerosols in harbourage areas
• Insecticidal dust in sub floors and roof voids

Your technician will let you know if any other areas are to be treated after they have conducted their initial inspection.

A General Pest control treatment for the most common pests such as ants, cockroaches, spiders usually takes 1-2 hours, depending upon the size of the property and severity of any infestations.

Commercial pest control can take longer as most are larger in size and often require a rodent program to be established.

We will always let you know once we conclude our initial inspection.

We always recommend that no occupants or pets are present while a pest control treatment is being conducted.

That said, we understand that it may not be a simple process to remove pets from the property however while the products are family & pet- safe there should be no-one within the treatment zones and all occupants should vacate the property and pets secured away.

When you combine products that have lower toxicity and lower residual effects, you get more consciously safer outcome for everyone, except the pests. This doesn’t mean they are not as affective, it means products are designed to be safer for us all when applied in our homes or workplace.

Remember to also keep in mind the products are toxic to a specific pests based upon their ecology and their specific internal makeup. A human, dog or cat are biologically structured differently to an ant, cockroach, spider or rodent, not to mention a significant mass body weight difference.

We recommend that all occupants remain away from an all treated areas for at least 2 hours after we have professionally pest controlled.

Where possible pets should be restrained away from treatment zones at least the same amount of time. Your technician will let know once they complete an inspection of your premises.
