General pest treatment.

Our standard pest treatment covers internal, external and yard with a 12-month residual spray, plus roof void, wall cavities, eaves, weep holes and all treatable areas. No gaps, no shortcuts.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Mop your floors (you can't mop for 7 days after)
  • Vacuum carpets and rugs
  • Pick up children's toys
  • Pick up pet toys, food & water bowls and cat litter
  • Clear the floor of trip hazards
  • Plan to head out for 1-2 hours
✓ After we leave
  • You may see pests for 4-8 weeks depending on the pest - this is normal
  • You may see more pests drawn out - this is a good sign, because it means the pests are coming into contact with the treatment
  • Do NOT use any repellent sprays
  • Do not mop for 7 days
  • Avoid deep cleaning close to walls for 6-8 weeks
  • Stay away from wet areas for 2 hours post-treatment
What's included in your treatment
Common questions
End of lease treatment.

End of lease treatments are designed for empty properties - no furniture, no pets, just us and the pests. We treat all standard pests with a focus on fleas and flea larvae, provide your certificate, and can collect keys from your agent.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Advise your real estate if we're collecting keys, or ensure property is accessible
  • Provide real estate name, suburb, contact person and number to our team
  • Complete all bond cleaning and carpet cleaning before our treatment
  • Ensure all furniture and belongings have left the property
  • No pets or people inside the property within 2 hours of treatment
✓ After we leave
  • Certificate will be sent to you as soon as the job is complete
  • Forward the certificate directly to your property manager
  • Keys returned to your agent within 5km radius
  • If warranted, fleas returning within 3 months are covered
⚠️ If the property is furnished or animals are present on the day, it becomes a standard treatment and incurs an additional $70 fee. Please ensure the property is empty before our visit.
What's included
Rodent management.

Our rodent treatment uses professional-grade lockable bait stations. Rodents follow the attractant, consume the treatment, and leave your property looking for water - meaning you won't find them in your walls or roof void.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Advise us of any known entry points or areas of activity
  • Keep pets away from the areas being treated
  • Provide roof void access if possible
✓ After we leave
  • Keep bait stations until technician's next visit or infestation clears
  • Monitor pets around bait stations
  • If rodents haven't cleared in 7-14 days, call us - we return at no charge
  • Station top-ups available for $10 per station at your annual service
How it works
Termite inspection.

We use advanced non-invasive technology including thermal imaging, radar motion, moisture and temperature sensors to identify termite activity without significant impact to you, your family or your home.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Provide access to all areas including the roof void
  • Clear or remove furniture near walls where possible
  • Note any areas of concern or suspected activity
✓ After we leave
  • Report emailed within 14 days post-inspection
  • Report is valid for 12 months
  • Treatment recommendations valid for 3 months
  • 10% off treatment if required
  • Inspection cost deducted from chemical barrier if required
What to know
Split system treatment.

Our split system treatment kills 99% of mould and bacteria using hospital-grade treatments. We treat the evaporator coils, barrel fan, drain pan, filters and thermostat sensor - and leave a residual protective film on Premium services.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Clear the floor of any trip hazards
  • Pull furniture out from underneath the unit
  • Advise our team if you have stairs or live in a high-rise
  • Provide access to a tap (sink or laundry)
  • Keep pets and small children away from the technician's ladder
✓ After we leave
  • We'll keep the unit running for 60 minutes post-treatment
  • Water may run down the wall - wipe it up, it won't stain
  • If you get an error code, turn off at the condenser for 10 mins
  • Leave the settings the technician applies during the 60 min run
Common questions
Ducted system treatment.

Our ducted treatment uses hospital-grade antimicrobial nano-fogging to reach every duct, every diffuser, every zone barrel and the drain pan. The nano-particles treat bacteria at a molecular level and leave a protective film that stops mould gripping back on.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Clear the floor of any trip hazards
  • Remove furniture beneath vents and diffusers
  • Advise our team if you have stairs or a multi-storey home
  • Provide access to a tap
  • Keep pets and small children away from ladders
✓ After we leave
  • Keep unit running for 60 minutes on technician's settings
  • Water may run from vents - wipe it up, it's normal
  • Error code? Turn off condenser for 10 mins to reset
  • Open windows if asthmatic or sensitive to smells
Common questions
What's included
Vehicle pest treatment.

Your vehicle is treated as an enclosed indoor environment and requires strict adherence to your technician's advice to be effective and safe.

✓ Before we arrive
  • Vacuum the vehicle to remove pest eggs and stimulate pupae
  • Remove all personal belongings from the car
  • Any food, drinks or containers left in the car must be disposed of after treatment
  • No pets or people in the vehicle until it is completely dry and ventilated
✓ After we leave
  • Keep vehicle completely closed (windows and doors) for 4 hours
  • After 4 hours - open all windows and doors for minimum 4 hours to air
  • Do not enter or allow children or pets in vehicle until aired and dry
  • Expect some pest activity for 1-2 weeks as the lifecycle breaks
⚠️ The chemicals used should not be ingested or inhaled. Ensure the vehicle is fully aired before anyone sits in it.
