Frequently asked
questions.... |
1. How long does it last?
The product we use has a proven sustained residual activity that
lasts for months. Prolonged dusty conditions may require an
occasional light hosing of treated areas to restore activation.
Adverse weather conditions may also break down external areas
sooner than inside.
2. How long does it take?
The technician will take approximately 2 hours.
3. How much does it cost?
This is covered in the rates section, found above.
4. How much for travel to rural areas?
No additional charge.
5. Do weather conditions affect spraying?
Yes – if it is expected to rain or raining or excessive winds,
spraying will be re-scheduled.
6. What insects is it effective on?
Flies, Spiders and Mosquitos, being the common summer pests.
However, the treatment will also help control several other
species of insects including mites, moths, beetles, silverfish,
earwigs, fleas.
7. Why did I find insects inside after treatment?
Our treatment although effective, is not immediate. Spiders may
enter your home through washing, or flies through open doors.
You may also find certain crawling insects come straight under
your door. Given time they will all become affected by our
treatment, remembering the larger the insect, the longer it
takes. We do not treat cupboards, behind curtains or under beds;
so if you find there is a problem in these areas, mention this
at time of treatment.
8. Do we have to leave the premises?
The premises need to be vacated for at least 2 hours on
completion of spraying inside. If only the outside is sprayed there is
no need to leave the premises.
9. How toxic is it? What about our plants and pets?
The product has a low toxicity rating, less toxic than many
cleaning products used in the home. It also has no adverse
effect on plants or animals (with the exception of fish).
10. Do you find the same result each year?
You may find a difference from the first year to the second. The
treatment and method is the same but you may find fewer dead
insects. This is not uncommon as the initial treatment breaks
the insect's breeding cycle. However, some unusual climatic
conditions, e.g. wet winter, warm/hot summer may induce some
insects to breed more ferociously. Remember - the insects have
to come into contact with the surface for the treatment to take
effect. Accordingly, you may initially still find some insects
remain active, particularly flying insects, immediately
following treatment.
11. What do we have to do before you come?
This is covered in the treatment section
12. What do we need to do after you leave?
Upon re-entering the house open doors/windows to fully
ventilate. Remove all paper and place in rubbish bin, wash
covers and wash hands immediately afterwards.
Detergent neutralizes the treatment. Do not wash treated areas
e.g. skirting boards, window frames. Leave spider webs up for 1
- 2 weeks then brush them down with a broom.
13. How often is treatment required?
The majority of our customers receive treatment once every 12
months.
Additional Information:
Wet areas such as the bathroom where constant steam from the
shower can reduce the duration of the product.
Windows can be wiped with a damp cloth after spraying to remove
over spray if needed.
Outside effectiveness is lessened with dust build up which
insulates the pest from the product. Note however sometimes a
light wash of the walls will re-expose the product and make it
more effective.
Do Not Pressure Wash.
Do not use Bore Water to wash walls as it neutralises the
product.
