How much does pest control cost?

Pricing depends on the type of pest, the size of the property, the level of activity, and the required treatment scope. We provide a clear quote before starting any work.

Is treatment safe around children and pets?

We assess the environment before treating and explain any necessary precautions. Depending on the treatment, we may ask that children and pets are kept away from the treated areas until they are completely dry and ventilated.

Do you treat termites?

Please ask us about our current termite inspection and treatment availability when you call, as these services require specific assessment and planning.

Are the spiders in my home dangerous?

Most Melbourne spiders are not considered dangerous to humans. If you are concerned about a specific spider, avoid contact and describe it to us during booking.

How often should spider treatment be done?

Spider activity increases in warmer months. A seasonal or perimeter treatment can help reduce activity. We advise on timing based on your property.

Will treatment stop webs appearing?

Treatment reduces spider activity, but webs can reappear over time. Regular web removal and perimeter treatment help manage this.

Is spider treatment safe around children and pets?

Treatment is selected with the property, occupants, and pets in mind. Always follow preparation and re-entry instructions provided by the technician.
