FAQ

General Pest Control questions

What does a general pest treatment cover?

It covers common crawling pests such as spiders, cockroaches, ants, silverfish, millipedes and centipedes, inside and outside your home. Rodents, wasp nests and fleas are treated separately.

How often should I get a general pest treatment?

Once a year suits most Canberra homes, ideally in spring before pest numbers increase. Homes near bushland or with ongoing problems may benefit from treatment every six months.

Do I need to leave the house?

You’ll need to keep people and pets out of treated areas until the treatment has dried, usually a few hours. We’ll give you clear timing on the day.
