A general pest control visit is the all-round option for homes in Brisbane. Instead of dealing with one pest at a time, the crew looks at the whole property and treats for the common crawling insects together: cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish. It suits people who are seeing a bit of everything, and those who like to have the house done once a year before summer.
The visit usually starts inside. The crew checks the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and any storage areas, then heads up into the roof void and, on high-set homes, under the house. Outside, they work around the walls, doors, windows, paths and garden edges, where most insects find their way in. They will ask where you have seen the most activity and spend extra time there. If you are in a unit, the focus shifts to the kitchen, wet areas and balcony instead.
- Kitchen, wet areas and storage cupboards treated
- Roof void dusted where there is a manhole
- Sub-floor treated on high-set homes
- Outside walls, doors and window frames sprayed
- Webs removed from eaves and entrances
- Notes on gaps, damp spots and clutter to fix
Homes across Brisbane vary a lot, from steep Queenslanders in Paddington to low-set brick homes in Annerley, and the price reflects the size of the home and how much of it needs treating. You hear that price on the phone before anything is booked. The crew will also let you have the name of the products they used and how long to keep people and pets off treated surfaces.
