The technician will take approximately 2 hours.
No additional charge.

Flies, Spiders and Mosquitos, being the common summer pests. However, the treatment will also help control several other species of insects including mites, moths, beetles, silverfish, earwigs, fleas.
Our treatment although effective, is not immediate. Spiders may enter your home through washing, or flies through open doors. You may also find certain crawling insects come straight under your door. Given time they will all become affected by our treatment, remembering the larger the insect, the longer it takes. We do not treat cupboards, behind curtains or under beds; so if you find there is a problem in these areas, mention this at time of treatment.
The premises need to be vacated for at least 2 hours on completion of spraying inside. If only the outside is sprayed there is no need to leave the premises.
The product has a low toxicity rating, less toxic than many cleaning products used in the home. It also has no adverse effect on plants or animals (with the exception of fish).
You may find a difference from the first year to the second. The treatment and method is the same but you may find fewer dead insects. This is not uncommon as the initial treatment breaks the insect's breeding cycle. However, some unusual climatic conditions, e.g. wet winter, warm/hot summer may induce some insects to breed more ferociously. Remember - the insects have to come into contact with the surface for the treatment to take effect. Accordingly, you may initially still find some insects remain active, particularly flying insects, immediately following treatment.
This is covered in the treatment section
Upon re-entering the house open doors/windows to fully ventilate. Remove all paper and place in rubbish bin, wash covers and wash hands immediately afterwards.
Detergent neutralizes the treatment. Do not wash treated areas e.g. skirting boards, window frames. Leave spider webs up for 1 - 2 weeks then brush them down with a broom.
The majority of our customers receive treatment once every 12 months.
Wet areas such as the bathroom where constant steam from the shower can reduce the duration of the product.
Windows can be wiped with a damp cloth after spraying to remove over spray if needed.
Outside effectiveness is lessened with dust build up which insulates the pest from the product. Note however sometimes a light wash of the walls will re-expose the product and make it more effective.
Do Not Pressure Wash.
Do not use Bore Water to wash walls as it neutralises the product.

Pests Treated
Pests controlled by the treatment include; Spiders, Flies, Mosquitoes, Wasps, Earwigs, Fleas, Silverfish, Ants. Basically most of your creepy crawlies that cross the treated area will be taken care of.
Spiders
(Image suppressed for those with phobias!)
Spiders are invertebrates with a two part body (cephalon thorax and abdomen), biting chelicerae and silk glands that discharge through spinnerets. They have 4 pairs of legs and additional pair of short appendages (pedipalps) beside the chelicerae. Eight is not only the number of legs spiders have. The original spiders and most still have eight eyes and if that is not enough spiders still live today which have the original complement of eight spinnerets.
Flys
Flies are insects of the order Diptera. Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced mechanosensory organs known as halteres, which act as high-speed sensors of rotational movement and allow dipterans to perform advanced aerobatics. Diptera is a large order containing an estimated 1,000,000 species including horse-flies,[a] crane flies, hoverflies, house flies and others, although only about 125,000 species have been described.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes, the Culicidae, have a slender segmented body, one pair of wings, three pairs of long hair-like legs, and specialized, highly elongated, piercing-sucking mouthparts. All mosquitoes drink nectar from flowers; females of some species have in addition adapted to drink blood. The group diversified during the Cretaceous period. Evolutionary biologists view mosquitoes as micropredators, small animals that parasitise larger ones by drinking their blood without immediately killing them. Medical parasitologists view mosquitoes instead as vectors of disease, carrying protozoan parasites or bacterial or viral pathogens from one host to another.
Ants
Ants are social insects which live in nests. The nests vary in size depending on their age and the species of ant. They are generally found in the ground, in wood or under rocks, although ants can also nest in walls, fireplaces, under paths and in buildings. They are most active from October to March.
Ants are a very successful insect group with over 1200 species occurring in Australia. All species can be beneficial to the environment. Some eat insect Pests such as termites, their nests improve the soil, they quickly recycle nutrients back into the soil and they are food for a wide range of native birds, reptiles and other small animals.
Termites
The common name for numerous species of social insects that can damage wooden structures such as furniture or houses. Of about 2000 known species, most are distributed in tropical countries and some inhabit the temperate regions. Termites are sometimes referred to as 'white ants' because of their creamy coloring and ant-like appearance. There are over 350 species of termites in Australia of which some 20 species can damage timber in houses. In nature, they assist in the recycling of organic matter and nutrients back to the soil.
Cockroaches
There only 6 families of cockroaches found worldwide, consisting of 4000 species. Australia has representatives of 5 of these families but with only 428 species present. Half of a the cockroaches in Australia can be found in the Blattidae family which includes both the native and introduced species. Go to our links section to find out more about the families of cockroaches.
Fleas
There are 16 different families of fleas worldwide, consisting of about 2380 species. In Australia 9 of these families are represented with just 90 different species. About half of the endemic species that occur in Australia are found in the Pygiopsyllidae family. The Pulicidae family contains many of the introduced fleas such as the cat, dog and human flea, as well as some native species. Go to our links section to find out more aboutout more about the different families of fleas.
Lice
Lice are small, wingless insects that are parasites of birds and mammals. They are usually less than 10 millimetres in length and are rarely seen without the aid of a microscope or magnifying glass. Lice are short lived and usually host specific.
A few species of lice have adapted to live and feed on humans, such as the head louse (Pediculus capitis), the eggs of which are commonly called nits and the body louse (Pediculus humanus).
Silverfish
There are only 4 families of silverfish found worldwide, consisting of about 370 species. In Australia just 2 of these families are represented with 28 species present. The 2 Australian families are easily separated from others found throughout the world as the Nicoletiidae family are eyeless and the Lepismatidae have only small compound eyes. Go to our links section to find out more about about the families of silverfish.
Carpet Beetles
Carpet beetles damage fabrics, furnishings and clothing that contain wool, silk, hair, bristles, fur, or feathers. Synthetic items are resistant to attack, but mixtures of synthetic and natural fibres can be damaged. The natural habitats of carpet beetles are nests of birds, rodents, insects, and spiders. The beetles are pollen feeders and can be found in large numbers in flowers; they can be brought into the house in cut flowers.
Clothes Moths
Although less common than carpet beetles, clothes moths are commonly experienced in similar environments to carpet beetles, namely woollen materials, felt, fur and other materials of animal origin.
The two most common species of clothes moths are the case making clothes moth (Tinea pellionella) and the common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella).
