Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• inspect internal and external areas to identify fly species and likely breeding sites

• locate entry points and inspect drains, bins and kitchen areas for hotspots

• apply targeted treatments using approved products and set traps or electric units where appropriate

• proof and seal access points and recommend fly screens or door strips where needed

• remove or advise on removal of breeding sources and provide sanitation recommendations

• provide follow‑up visit or monitoring plan and note PPE and contamination controls used during treatment

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Typical inspections and a single treatment take 1–3 hours depending on property size and infestation level; larger commercial sites or severe infestations need half a day or more and may require repeat visits

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• what species do you think is causing the problem and what evidence supports that

• which products and methods will you use and are they safe for pets, children and food areas

• will you need access to lofts, drains or neighbour areas and can you work out of hours if needed

• do you provide written treatment notes, a guarantee or follow‑up visits and what do they cost

• are you insured and do you hold any pest control qualifications or certifications

• how should I prepare the property before you arrive (clear areas, secure food, pets)

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear access to affected areas and remove exposed food and crockery

• arrange parking or a nearby unloading spot for the technician

• secure pets and children away from treatment zones and notify about allergies or respiratory conditions

• tell the tradie about any recent treatments or cleaning schedules so work is co‑ordinated

• check if flats or managed estates need permission for external screens or access equipment
