A general pest control visit is the most common booking we take across the Eastern Suburbs. It deals with the everyday pests that live in and around most homes, so you can sort several problems in one go instead of calling back each time something new appears. Think cockroaches under the sink, ants trailing across the bench and spiders spinning webs around the windows and eaves.
When you ring, we ask a few quick questions. What kind of home is it, and how old? Is there a roof space, a cellar or a subfloor? What have you seen, and in which rooms? From that, we give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits you.
- Crack and crevice treatment in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry
- Spraying of eaves, window frames, fences and garage doors
- Dusting of the roof space and subfloor where they can be reached
- Ant treatment along paths, slab edges and door thresholds
- Pointers on gaps, leaks and clutter that draw pests in
Before the visit, clear the kitchen benches and the cupboard under the sink, put pet bowls away and make sure the crew can get to the manhole and the backyard. Keep children and pets out of treated rooms until the crew says surfaces are dry. If anyone feels unwell afterwards, call 000 in an emergency or ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
Many households in the Eastern Suburbs book a general visit once a year, usually in spring. Older homes and those near parks or creeks sometimes add an autumn visit when rodents start moving inside. Call 03 9022 1290 for a price and a time.
