If you are having a general pest treatment done you don’t need to leave unless you want to as the chemicals have a very low toxicity so they won’t harm you. If you are having rodent treatment done you do not need to leave. Termite treatment and most other treatments you do not have to leave the home, If you have a German cockroach treatment, it is advisable to step out for a period of time as aerosols are sometimes used and have an affect on some people
In some cases yes, we can work with you to arrange for them to be away from the area I’m treating. If you have a cat they will leave on their own accord. Fish tanks and bird cages should be covered with a sheet or towel. We do not treat chickens or birds in their cages for bird mites.
This will depend on the treatment requested, on average it will take an hour to an hour and half for a full general pest treatment
If you are having a rodent treatment, you do not need to prepare anything. If you are having a general pest treatment you should put all food items away, including cookware, crockery and cutlery. Externally, all clothes should be removed from the clothesline, all windows closed and pet bowls turned over. The technician will advise if there are any other requirements on the day.
If the weather is not permitting on the day of the treatment, this can be rain, snow or windy conditions you will receive a phone call from our office before the scheduled appointment time and the treatment will be rescheduled.
No. 95 percent of the time they will die outside the house. However if you get a foul smell inside your house most likely a rodent has died in the roof or even the wall cavity. For accessible areas where rodents have died please give us a call and we can come back out and remove it and deodorize the roof. (charges apply). If the rodent gets stuck in a wall cavity it may be impossible to remove the rodent without removing the wall linings, or wait for approx. 10 to 21 days for the smell to dissipate, the use of hanging air fresheners will be handy in this scenario.
