Warm months above 20°C boost ant, mosquito, and cockroach activity. Rodents enter homes when temperatures drop below 10°C. Spring triggers termite swarms. Heavy rain drives silverfish and earwigs indoors. Knowing the season helps you time preventive treatments and explains why infestations often seem sudden, since populations build quietly for weeks before being noticed.
Look for droppings, gnaw marks on wood or wiring, shed wings near windows, small piles of sawdust, grease trails along walls, and unusual smells. In kitchens, check under the sink and behind the fridge. Catching an infestation in the first 2 to 4 weeks usually cuts the treatment cost in half.
Using supermarket sprays before the technician arrives can scatter a colony and make it harder to treat. Storing food in open boxes, leaving pet bowls out overnight, and ignoring small leaks under the sink all attract pests back. Skipping the recommended yard treatment often cancels indoor results within weeks.
Indoor treatments focus on baseboards, cracks, and hiding spots using gel, dust, or low-odor sprays. Outdoor treatments create a 1 to 2 metre barrier around the foundation using liquid or granular products. Some pests require both zones. Ask whether your quote covers perimeter spraying, since outdoor work usually adds 20 to 40 percent to the total cost.
A proper inspection covers the attic, crawl spaces, basement, garage, utility rooms, and the perimeter outside. The technician should open outlet covers, look behind appliances, and check moisture meters. A written report with photos, locations, and species identified is a sign of serious work.
Seal cracks wider than 3 mm around pipes and vents. Store food in hard containers. Take rubbish out at least every 2 days. Trim branches at least 30 cm from the roof. Fix dripping taps within 24 hours. Schedule a preventive inspection every 6 months even if you see no activity.
Keep the service ticket, product labels, safety data sheets, and warranty terms in one folder. Note the date of each visit and the products applied. This paperwork matters when selling your home, dealing with landlords, or making insurance claims. If a company refuses to leave written documentation, consider that a serious warning sign about their process.
Bait stations hold poison that workers carry back to the nest. Sprays leave a residual barrier on baseboards and entry points. Dusts fill wall voids where sprays cannot reach. Heat treatment raises room temperature above 50 degrees Celsius for several hours to kill bed bugs in all life stages.
Most pest control companies offer three main plans: one-time service, quarterly, or monthly contracts. One-time service targets a current problem. Quarterly plans cover preventive visits every 3 months. Monthly contracts suit homes near wooded areas or with recurring issues. Each plan includes inspection, treatment, and follow-up checks, but the number of visits and the included pests vary.
If you see live pests in treated areas after 14 days, the treatment failed. Other warning signs include new droppings, fresh gnaw marks, or activity during daylight, since most pests are nocturnal. A failed treatment often means wrong product, wrong placement, or an untreated nest. Request a free follow-up visit if your contract includes a guarantee.
