Book a routine treatment if you notice:
- Occasional ants trailing through kitchen or bathroom
- Spiders appearing regularly inside the home
- Silverfish in wardrobes or bookshelves
- Cobwebs rebuilding quickly after cleaning
Why DIY Sprays Don’t Work Long-Term
We understand the temptation-a $15 can from Bunnings seems easier than booking a professional. But here’s what actually happens:
Surface sprays only kill on contact. They don’t reach nests, eggs, or the 90% of pests hiding in your walls, roof, and subfloor.
Cockroaches and rodents adapt. Populations exposed to weak pesticides can develop resistance. When you call us after months of DIY treatment, the problem is often harder to solve.
You’re treating symptoms, not the source. A professional inspection identifies why pests are entering-moisture issues, entry points, food sources-and addresses the root cause.
