PAGE: GENERAL PEST SPRAY > WHAT TO DO BEFORE A TREATMENT

What to do before you get a General Pest spray, Cockroach or Spider spray.
To help you get the most out of your pest treatment I am giving some tips on what to do before I get to your house and what to expect from a general pest spray or other spray treatments. 

Check out the details below.

Before a Pest Treatment

  • As a precaution, if you have any fish, tadpoles or turtles, cover them up.
  • Don’t clean the old spider webs before I get to your home as the spiders will feed over these webs and the spray will work quicker.
  • Cover all fruit and exposed foods, close the toilet seat cover and put the pillows under the blankets and the toothbrushes and razors in a cupboard.
  • A lot of the common insects will crawl along the skirting boards so by exposing as much of the skirting board  as possible will give a better treatment. If furniture is large and heavy, don’t move these as I will work around them. The treatment won't damage carpets, flooring or furniture as it is water based.
  • It is helpful to pick up some of the kids toys etc. as I can sometimes step on them and we don’t want tears.

Service Overview
  • A general pest spray will provide a barrier for most household insects and pests such as Spiders, Cockroaches, Ants (some times an ant-only treatment may be required), Flies, Mozzies, Millipedes, Moths, Silverfish, Fleas, Wasps etc.
  • I will spray the outside of the house, dust the roof void (98% talc powder & 2% insecticide): this will take care of spiders in the roof which can sometimes get into the living areas.
  • Spray inside your sheds and outdoor living areas, as well as fences as spiders often live here.
  • Spray inside with a light mist and a trick that not a lot people will do, is to put a light spray over ceiling to control flies and spiders.
  • The products are very human and pet friendly.
  • If the inside of the house is not required to be sprayed the price will be cheaper.

Entry to the home is generally when the treatment has dried which is usually very quick. If there are children under 1 year old  or there is a pregnant lady in the house, reentry may be a little longer. We can discuss reentry times at the time of the booking.  

REMEMBER advice is free, so if you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, if you are unsure as to the extent and exact nature of your pest problem, I’m more than happy to come to your home and have a quick look and provide a detailed report.
