Pest-control products must be handled and applied according to their approved label directions and the technician’s instructions. Precautions vary by product and treatment method.

Some pest activity may continue for a period after treatment, depending on the pest and method used. The expected result and timeframe vary. If activity persists beyond the period explained by our technician, contact us with your service details so we can advise on the appropriate next step.

Some pest problems can be managed with a targeted visit, while others may require follow-up treatments, monitoring or changes to sanitation and building conditions. Your technician will explain the recommended approach for your situation.

Possible signs include mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, blistering paint, discarded wings or termite activity around timber and building joints. These signs can have other causes, so a proper inspection is recommended before deciding on treatment.

Spraying visible termites may not address the colony or the source of the activity. Avoid disturbing suspected termite workings unnecessarily and arrange a professional inspection to identify the issue and discuss suitable management options.

Ongoing monitoring and scheduled service arrangements may be suitable for premises that need continued pest-risk management. Contact us to discuss the site, service frequency, reporting requirements and scope you need.

Please share the site address, type of business, approximate floor area, pest concerns, any known hotspots, preferred service times and any reporting or documentation requirements. This helps us understand the scope before preparing a proposal.

Keep food sealed, dispose of waste promptly, address leaks and standing water, reduce clutter, seal suitable gaps and maintain drains and outdoor areas. For businesses, consistent housekeeping and prompt reporting of pest sightings can also help. The best preventive measures depend on the pest and property.

If you have arranged an inspection or treatment, tell us what products you have already used. Avoid mixing products or applying pesticides contrary to label directions. Some sprays can scatter certain pests or interfere with particular treatment methods, so ask our team for advice specific to your situation.

A clear photo can help us make an initial assessment, but it may not be enough to identify the species or determine the source of an infestation. We may need additional information or a site inspection before recommending treatment.
