Scope of Works

• Apply targeted residual treatment to harbourage points and entry gaps using low‑risk products

• Treat lofts, sheds and external voids where accessible using appropriate PPE to avoid contamination

• Set monitoring or glue traps if required and advise on follow‑up visits

Time on Site

 

Most domestic spider control visits take 30–90 minutes; heavy infestations, loft work or required external access (ladders/scaffold) can extend this to a half day

 

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• Are you insured and certified to carry out domestic pest control?

• What products will you use and are they safe for children, pets and plants?

• How many visits are likely and do you offer a guarantee or follow‑up service?

• Will you need access to lofts, cavities or external areas that require ladders or scaffold?

• Do you include proofing (sealing gaps) in the quote or is that extra work

• Are there any re‑entry times or precautions we need to follow after treatment?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• Clear access to loft hatches, cupboards and eaves before the visit

• Reserve parking near the property for the technician and any ladder van

• Keep children and pets out of treatment areas and confirm any re‑entry intervals

• Check landlord or estate rules for work in communal areas before booking

• Confirm who supplies ladders or scaffold and whether a working‑at‑height risk assessment is needed

• Remove or cover fragile items in treatment zones to avoid accidental contamination
