General Pest Control

Service 1 - Cockroaches & silverfish

We regard this as one complete treatment & find the best way to treat them effectively is to treat:

• All cupboards
• Skirtings boards
• wall cavities
• And any cracks and crevices where possible. 
• Dusting of roof void and dusting of external weepholes where applicable are also important, as this is where we tend to find they breed. 

In general circumstances kitchen cupboards no longer require emptying as we can now treat your cupboards with cockroach gel.  This gel is placed in inconspicuous places & acts as a food source.  This is a different method of treatment to the conventional way that you may have been used to in the past, but it is still very effective.  If you still wish to empty your kitchen cupboards, then we are more than happy to treat inside them for you, although everything must be removed prior to treatment.

In extreme circumstances it may be necessary to empty all kitchen cupboards in order to treat the problem effectively.

Service 2 - Ants (including black ants)

Ants, in particular black ants are mainly found:

• nesting in the roof void 
• wall cavities of your property. 

Ants can gain entry into your property via:

• window 
• doorframes 
• any foliage that may be touching or overhanging the premises. 

An ant treatment is mainly conducted:

• externally by spraying a barrier around the exterior of the building

But if you are having problems internally, then they can be resolved by treating inside the property, for example:

• around door
• and window frames
  

Service 3 - Spiders (including redbacks)

Redback spiders cause havoc during the summer months in particular, although they do breed all year round and so a preventative treatment is your best course of action. 

Our spider treatment entails spraying:

• all external walls of the premises
• underneath the eaves where applicable. 

We also offer and find that treating the roof void for spiders compliments an exterior treatment and is quite effective in the prevention of future spider infestation.  Treating spiders in the roof void will help prevent those nasty little creatures from breeding and dropping down through your downlights, into your rooms below.

We recommend you walk around the exterior of your premises 2wks after we have sprayed for spiders and squash any white egg sacks that are still in view, as this will stop the babies from hatching and a reinfestation from occurring.

Service 4 - Fleas & carpet moths/beetles

Prior to treatment we require all floor areas to be:

• vacuumed 
• mopped
• as much as possible be lifted from the floor area

Preferably do not vacuum or mop for at least 2-3 weeks after completion. 

Generally a free service period of 1 month is offered for flea treatments and in some extreme cases a service period can not be offered at all.  Please note a free service period is not offered for carpet moths or beetles.

We also recommend that all animals be treated for fleas at approximately the same time as the fleat treatment is carried out and that all grass areas be kept as short as possible.

Service 5 - Rats and mice

We are able to offer you both:

• cardboard
• and lockable bait stations. 

If your problem is only of a small scale, then we suggest a one off visit / placement of rodent baits which from our experience appears to be quite sufficient. 

But if your problem is of a larger scale, then we would recommend a rodent programme be carried out, which involves the initial placement of rodent bait stations followed by 2 return visits.

Please note we mainly use lockable bait stations on commercial premises, due to workplace health & safety requirements.

Service 6 - Wasps and bees

Wasps and bees are best treated late afternoon or early morning, as they are not so aggressive at that time of the day and you will achieve a better success rate. 

Please note this treatment is an erradication only.
