What should I expect from a General Pest Treatment?
– it usually takes 1 hour to do the treatment from arrival to finish.
– spray inside and outside the house
– spray any outbuildings, shed and pool areas
– dust the roof void
– cockroach gel inside the kitchen cardboard
– extra baits for cockroaches (sticky boards)
– extra baits for ants (ant gel)
WHAT insecticides are used?
Only non-toxic sticky-baits and low toxic insecticides such as pyrethrins and synthetic pyrethroids are used for your safety and our technicians safety. Feel free to ask us for SDS sheets and examine the labels for any insecticidal product we use.
HOW is it done?
– we use an air pressured spray tank to spray the entire perimeter of the property inside and outside, we are very cautious and tidy.
– we use a dust blower machine to blow a white dust into the roof void to flush and kill all the pests housing in the roof.
– we use a cockroach gel as a bait placed on the hinges of the kitchen cupboards, since cockroaches are cannibals. Cockroaches will also eat the faeces of their mates. After they eat a dose of gel, cockroaches will return to their nests where they poop. As the cockroach roams around, it infects others which has a cumulative effect.
– when one eats the bait the other ones from the community also get infected by eating the dead ones.
– we explain how to use the extra baits for a lasting outcome of our treatment.
What do I need to do BEFORE the technician arrives?
– it would be really helpful to have all small items removed from the edges such as shoes, clothes and etc.
– if there is heavier furniture, you don’t need to worry about it we can go around it.
– if there are kids toys make sure they are stored or covered by a plastic.
– if you can, leave the house for a couple of hours during and after the treatment.
– it is best to put away any dishes or food laying around the kitchen as well as fruits on the bench.
– if there is an aquarium, make sure it is well covered and unplugged while the treatment is being carried.
– if possible, vacuum the corners and behind furniture for a better application.
What do I need to do AFTER the technician leaves?
- Wait for the insecticide to dry, it usually takes about 1 hour depending on the weather.
- Don’t mop the edges of the floor for about 3 days.
- Use the ant gel baits if seeing ants around.
- Move the cockroach baits if seeing cockroaches
