How do I know if I have a pest problem?

Some common signs of a pest infestation include droppings, strange smells, property damage, and unusual sounds (such as scratching in the walls). If you notice insects or rodents in your home or business, it’s best to book a pest inspection to assess the issue before it worsens.

What pests do you treat?

We provide comprehensive pest control services for termites, cockroaches, ants, spiders, rodents, bed bugs, silverfish, fleas, wasps, and more. We offer specialized treatments for both residential and commercial properties in Cairns.

Are your pest control treatments safe for my family and pets?

Yes! We use environmentally friendly and family-safe pest control methods that are designed to effectively eliminate pests while being safe for children and pets. Our trained professionals apply treatments carefully to minimize any risks.

How often should I get pest control done?

For optimal protection, we recommend quarterly pest control services for homes and businesses. However, the frequency depends on the severity of the infestation and the type of pest problem. Regular annual termite inspections are also essential in Cairns due to the high termite activity in the region.

Do you offer pre-purchase pest inspections?

Yes! Our pre-purchase pest inspections help home buyers identify hidden pest issues before purchasing a property. We provide detailed reports with expert recommendations, helping you make an informed decision.

How long does a pest control treatment take?

Most residential pest control treatments take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your property and the type of pest problem. Commercial treatments may take longer, depending on the extent of the infestation.

How soon will I see results after pest control treatment?

Results vary depending on the pest, but you should notice a reduction in pest activity within a few days. Some pests, such as cockroaches and ants, may take up to two weeks for complete elimination as treatments continue to work over time.
