Frequently asked questions about our internal and external spraying services.
🌿 External Spraying FAQ
How does exterior spraying work?
We apply a professional treatment around the perimeter of your property, including walls, foundations, windows, doors, and common pest entry points. This creates a protective barrier to stop pests before they enter your home.
Is exterior spraying safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use professional products applied according to strict safety standards. Please keep pets and children away from treated areas until the spray has fully dried.
Should I tell you if pets are on the property?
Absolutely. Please let us know about any dogs, cats, birds, fish ponds, or other animals around the property before treatment so we can take appropriate precautions.
What should I do before an exterior spray?
Please remove cobwebs, dirt, and debris from exterior surfaces where possible. Move pet bowls, toys, and outdoor furniture away from treatment areas.
What if it rains after treatment?
Light rain after the treatment has dried is generally not a problem. Heavy rain immediately after application may reduce effectiveness.
🏠 Internal Spraying FAQ
Is internal spraying safe?
Yes. We use low-toxicity, professional-grade products designed to be effective while keeping your family and pets safe when used correctly.
Do we need to leave the house during treatment?
Yes. All family members and pets must vacate the property during treatment and remain out for at least 3 hours after completion.
What areas are treated inside the home?
Treatments are commonly applied to skirting boards, cracks, crevices, kitchens, bathrooms, entry points, and other high-risk pest areas.
How should we prepare for an internal spray?
Please put away pet bowls, children’s toys, toothbrushes, and food items before treatment. Ensure clear access to skirting boards and treatment areas where possible.
Will internal spraying remove all pests immediately?
Some pests may be affected immediately, while others can take several days depending on the pest type and treatment used.
We proudly stand behind our work with a 12-month guarantee and use professional techniques designed to deliver long-lasting pest protection.
