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
