🦺 Safety, Family, & Pet Questions
- Children and Pets: Treatments use micro-encapsulated products with high safety margins, requiring a 4-hour safety stand-down window until surfaces are completely dry.
- Fish Tanks and Reptiles: Aquariums must be covered and air pumps turned off during application until the property is aired out.
- Chemical Odour: Formulas are low-odour and dry clear without heavy chemical stenches or greasy residues.
🕒 Treatment Timelines & Effectiveness
- Eradication Timelines: Varies by pest, from immediate knockdown for flying insects and spiders to 3–7 days for ant and cockroach gels, and 10–14 days for rodent control.
- Increased Activity: A brief spike in visible pests can happen initially as flushing agents drive them out from hiding spots.
- Barrier Longevity: External perimeter and internal treatments typically provide protection for 6 to 12 months depending on weather and humidity.
🛠️ Preparation, Logistics, & Methods
- Cleaning: Avoid washing treated skirting boards or walls immediately after treatment to preserve the residual barrier.
- Discretion: Technicians arrive in clean, unbranded, highly discreet commercial vehicles.
- Commercial vs. DIY: Professional non-repellent micro-encapsulated compounds target infestations at the core without scattering pests or breaking down prematurely from UV light.
