About Pest Control
Preparing Your Home Before the Technician Arrives
Clear kitchen counters, store food in sealed containers, and mop floors the night before. Move furniture 30 cm away from walls where treatment will be applied. Cover fish tanks and unplug aquariums during spraying. Keep children and pets away for at least 4 hours after treatment. Good preparation helps the product reach all target areas properly.
How to prevent pests from coming back
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.
What pest control companies actually do
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.
What Types of Service Plans Are Available
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.
Common pests treated in homes
The most requested services target ants, cockroaches, rodents, termites, spiders, wasps, fleas, and bed bugs. Each pest needs a different method. Treating ants is not the same as treating termites, so a good company asks you to describe the pest, droppings, damage, or bite marks before quoting a price.
How to Compare Pest Control Quotes
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.
How to spot a real infestation early
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.
Understanding Treatment Timeframes by Pest Type
Treatment time depends on the pest. Ant baits take 7 to 14 days to reduce colonies. Roach gel shows results in 5 to 10 days. Bed bug heat treatment works in 1 day, but sprays need 2 to 3 weeks. Termite treatments may require 30 to 90 days of monitoring. Ask the technician for a clear timeline for your specific case.
Inspection: what the technician should check
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.
What a Thorough Inspection Report Should Contain
A proper inspection report includes the date, technician name, rooms checked, pests identified, and severity level. It should note entry points like cracks wider than 3 mm, moisture areas, and signs of nesting. Photos are standard. Ask for a copy before any treatment begins, so you know exactly what was found and what areas need attention.
