Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I have pest control done?
For most homes in Perth, an annual pest treatment is recommended. However, properties with recurring issues or commercial premises may benefit from treatments every 6–12 months.
2. Is pest control safe for children and pets?
Yes. Licensed pest control professionals use approved products and provide safety instructions. In some cases, you may be asked to keep children and pets away from treated areas until they are dry or for a specified period.
3. What pests do you treat?
We commonly treat ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, termites, wasps, fleas, silverfish, and other common household pests found in Perth.
4. How long does a pest control treatment take?
A standard residential treatment usually takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the type of pest being treated.
5. Will I need to leave my home during the treatment?
In many cases, you can remain at home. However, certain treatments may require you to leave the premises for a short time. Your technician will advise you before the service begins.
6. How soon will I see results?
Some pests begin to disappear within a few hours, while others may take several days. The exact timeframe depends on the pest species and the treatment method used.
7. Do you offer termite inspections?
Yes. Regular termite inspections can help detect activity early and reduce the risk of costly structural damage to your property.
8. Can pests return after treatment?
While professional treatments are highly effective, pests can return over time due to weather, neighbouring infestations, or new entry points. Ongoing maintenance and prevention can help keep them away.
9. How can I reduce the risk of pests in my home?
Keep food sealed, clean up crumbs and spills promptly, dispose of rubbish regularly, fix leaking taps, remove standing water, and seal gaps around doors, windows, and pipes.

Yes. Pest management services are available for offices, restaurants, warehouses, retail stores, schools, and other commercial properties, with customised treatment plans to suit the business.
11. Is pest control worth it if I only see a few insects?
Yes. Seeing a small number of pests can indicate a larger hidden population. Early treatment often prevents a minor issue from becoming a major infestation.
12. How much does pest control cost in Perth?
Pricing depends on factors such as the type of pest, the size of the property, and the treatment required. Many providers offer free quotes after assessing your needs.
