A general pest control visit is the booking most homes in the Northern Suburbs make when they are seeing a bit of everything. Cockroaches under the sink, ants across the bench and spiders in the corners of the windows can all be dealt with in one trip. It saves you ringing back each time a new pest turns up, and it gives the crew a chance to look over the whole home at once instead of one room at a time.
When you ring, we ask what you have seen and where. We also ask about the home itself. Is it a unit, a terrace or a freestanding house? Is there a roof space you can get into, a subfloor, a shed or a woodpile? Those details shape the job and the price. We give you upfront pricing on the call and book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits.
- Inside treatment of kitchens, bathrooms and laundries for cockroaches
- Spraying of eaves, window frames, fences and sheds for spiders
- Ant treatment along paths, slab edges and door frames
- Dusting of the roof space where the crew can reach it
- A walk around the yard to point out things that draw pests in
Before the visit, clear the kitchen benches and the cupboard under the sink, and put pet bowls away. Keep children and pets out of treated rooms until the crew says surfaces are dry. If anyone feels unwell, call 000 in an emergency or ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
Many households book a general treatment once a year, often in spring before the warm weather brings pests out. Homes close to the Merri Creek or Darebin Creek sometimes add a second visit in autumn, when rodents start moving indoors.
