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.
Baits can take 5 to 14 days to reduce a colony. Sprays kill on contact within hours but lose power after 2 to 3 weeks. Bed bug heat treatments work in 1 day but need a follow-up inspection after 10 days. Termite treatments often need 30 to 90 days of monitoring.
A pest control company inspects your home, identifies the pest, and applies treatments to remove or control it. Most visits last 30 to 60 minutes. The work can include bait stations, sprays, traps, dusts, or heat treatments, depending on the species and the level of infestation found during the inspection.
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.
Ask each company for a written quote listing the pests covered, treatment method, number of visits, and warranty length. Compare the square metres included, since quotes under 80 m² differ from those over 150 m². Check if the quote covers indoor and outdoor areas. The cheapest option often excludes garage, attic, or garden, so verify the scope carefully.
Ask if the company is licensed in your area, carries liability insurance, and employs certified applicators. Request the product names, the warranty terms, and the number of follow-up visits included. Ask for references from similar jobs in the last 6 months and the technician's years of experience.
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.
Indoor residual sprays last 30 to 90 days depending on airflow and sunlight exposure. Gel baits dry out after 2 to 3 weeks and need replacement. Dust products in wall voids can last 6 months if dry. Outdoor barriers break down faster, usually every 45 to 60 days. Ask the technician when your specific treatment needs reapplication.
Avoid companies that quote by phone without visiting the property. Refuse cash-only payments and companies without a registered license number on the quote. Be cautious if the technician refuses to show product labels or explains safety measures. Also avoid pressure tactics urging a 12-month contract before any inspection has taken place.
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.
