First-time pest control bookings come with a small cloud of unknowns — how long, what happens, do we need to leave, what about the dog. Here is the visit, demystified, so booking feels like booking a trade rather than an event.

Before the day

Your booking confirmation email carries the preparation guidelines specific to your treatment — that email is the authority, and it is deliberately short. The universals: reasonable access helps (side gates unlocked, the roof void manhole reachable, stored items pulled back from garage walls), pets secured or planned around, and anything you specifically want looked at mentioned when the technician arrives rather than remembered after they leave.

On the day

A general pest treatment runs 60 to 90 minutes; the combined package with a termite inspection runs around two hours. The technician works the property in a logical order — interior through kitchens, bathrooms and living areas, the roof void dusted, then the exterior perimeter across walls, eaves and patios — and will flag anything notable as they go: entry points worth sealing, moisture worth fixing, conditions inviting trouble. That commentary is part of what you are paying for; ask questions freely.

Re-entry and afterwards

We use targeted, compliant products, with eco-friendly options where suitable, and your technician confirms any re-entry advice for your specific treatment on the day — for most general treatments the practical answer is short and undramatic, but the specific answer belongs to your specific job, which is why it comes from the technician rather than a blog. In the days after, seeing the odd affected insect emerge is the treatment working through harbourages, not failing.

Payment and paperwork

Cash or card with the technician on the day, or bank transfer once the service is completed — and AfterPay is available for larger termite management systems. End-of-lease and real estate jobs come with the documentation agents expect. If pests covered by a free service period return within their window — cockroaches (excluding German) and webbing spiders carry 12 months on the general treatment — so do we.
