If you are seeing a bit of everything, a general pest control visit covers the common household pests in one go. Ants in the kitchen, cockroaches in the bathroom and spiders under the eaves can all be treated on the same day. Plenty of homes in Sunnybank book this once a year, usually in late winter or early spring before insect numbers rise.
The crew we book walks through the home and around the yard first to see what is active. They look for signs like droppings, webs, egg cases and ant trails to decide where to focus. Inside, they treat along skirting boards, in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries and in the roof space where they can get in. Outside, they treat the base of the walls, eaves, window and door frames, garden edges, sheds and the subfloor on raised homes.
- Inside treatment for ants, cockroaches and spiders
- Roof space dusting where there is access
- Outside walls, eaves, windows and doors
- Sheds, garages, pergolas and outdoor areas
- A short rundown of what was found and what to watch for
Before the visit, clear under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, put away pet bowls and toys and cover fish tanks. Keep children and pets out of treated areas until the crew gives the all clear. If you are also hearing rats or mice or seeing fleas, mention it when you book, as those are booked a little differently. The crew will ask about pets and who will be home during the visit and plan around that. Newer brick homes and older timber homes each get attention in the spots where pests usually get in.
