🐜 General Pest Control Questions
What pests do you treat?

We treat a wide range of pests including:
•    Cockroaches
•    Spiders
•    Ants
•    Rodents (rats and mice)
•    Fleas
•    Wasps and bees
•    Silverfish
•    Mosquitoes
•    Termites (inspection and treatment)
•    Pest birds (pigeons, seagulls, sparrows, swallows and more)

If you’re unsure what pest you have, we can identify it during inspection.
________________________________________
How often should pest control be done?

For most homes, we recommend general pest control every 6 months.
For high-risk properties, commercial sites, monthly treatments may be recommended.
________________________________________
Do you offer one-off treatments?
Yes. We offer both:

•    One-off pest control services
•    ongoing maintenance plans

We can tailor the service depending on your property and pest problem.
________________________________________
How long does a pest control treatment take?

Most standard pest treatments take 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the property and the pest activity.
Larger homes, commercial sites or bird control installations may take longer.

Why am I still seeing pests after treatment?

It’s normal to see some activity after treatment, especially cockroaches, ants, and spiders. This is because pests are exposed to the product and come out of hiding before dying.
If activity continues beyond the expected timeframe, we’re happy to follow up.

🕷️ Treatment & Safety                                   

Are your pest control treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use professional-grade products that are safe when applied correctly.
We will always provide clear safety instructions, including how long to keep pets and children away from treated areas.
________________________________________
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?

In most cases, no, you don’t need to leave the house.
However, for certain treatments (such as stronger internal sprays, flea treatments or specialised fogging), we may recommend leaving for a short period.
________________________________________
Will I need to clean after pest control?

Generally, no. We recommend:

•    Avoid mopping treated floors for 24 hours
•    Avoid washing treated exterior areas for a few days where possible
We’ll provide aftercare instructions at the end of every service.
________________________________________
How long does it take for pests to disappear?

Some pests may die immediately, while others can take 24–72 hours depending on the product and pest type.

It’s also common to see increased pest activity for a short time after treatment as insects come out of hiding.
