That’s why a regular general pest spray every 6 to 12 months is one of the smartest things you can do to protect your home and your peace of mind.
Whether it’s black ants in the pantry, redbacks in the garden, or roaches sneaking in under the door, MD Pest Control is here to help you entertain your guests—not your pests.
A one-off treatment can knock pests back, but without regular maintenance, they’ll return. That’s why most Adelaide homeowners benefit from a general spray every 6 to 12 months, depending on the location and layout of the home.
By acting early, you can:
- Prevent infestations before they start
- Keep pests away from food prep areas, kids’ rooms, and living spaces
- Reduce the need for stronger, more invasive treatments down the track

Here’s what’s included:
🔸 Interior treatment:
- Skirting boards

Is It Safe for Kids and Pets?
We’ll always advise you on simple prep steps before the treatment (like covering food and pet bowls), and let you know how long to stay out of treated areas if necessary.
Most families can be back in their home within a few hours, and many choose to head out for a coffee or walk while we take care of the work.
When done properly, a general spray is far safer and more effective than DIY products from the hardware store—which often require more frequent use and pose higher exposure risks.
