What a general treatment covers
A general pest treatment addresses the common crawling and web-building pests found in and around Perth homes — typically ants, spiders, cockroaches and other occasional invaders. It's a broad approach, not a substitute for targeted treatment of an established infestation or a termite problem, which need their own process.
How the treatment works
We apply targeted products to key areas such as skirting boards, entry points, kitchens, bathrooms and the external perimeter. The aim is to reduce current activity and create a barrier that discourages pests from re-entering. We'll explain exactly what's being used and any precautions before we begin.
What to expect afterwards
You may still see some activity for a short period as affected pests come into contact with treated areas. We'll talk you through what's normal and what's worth following up on.
Practical prevention tips
- Keep food sealed and benches crumb-free
- Rinse recyclables and keep bins closed
- Trim vegetation away from the external walls
- Fix dripping taps and reduce standing moisture
Questions we're asked
Does a general treatment cover termites?
No. Termites require a separate inspection and, if needed, a specific treatment. A general treatment is not a termite barrier.
How long does the treatment last?
Many homes are treated annually. The ideal frequency depends on the property, the surrounding environment and the level of activity you're seeing.
