We offer same-day service for urgent pest problems in Healesville and surrounding areas. For standard treatments, we can typically schedule appointments within 1-3 business days. Our flexible scheduling includes weekend and after-hours options for commercial clients.
Yes, we prioritize safety in all our treatments. We use low-toxicity products that are approved for residential use and apply them in a manner that minimizes exposure to family members and pets. We’ll provide specific instructions on when it’s safe to re-enter treated areas, typically 2-4 hours after treatment. For households with sensitive individuals, we offer alternative treatment options.
For most Healesville properties, we recommend quarterly pest control treatments (every 3 months) to maintain effective protection year-round. This schedule addresses seasonal pest pressures and prevents infestations before they become established. For properties with specific challenges or history of severe infestations, we might recommend more frequent treatments initially. We also offer annual maintenance programs for properties with minimal pest issues.
Yes, all our pest control services come with service warranties ranging from 3 to 12 months, depending on the treatment package. If pests return during the warranty period, we’ll return and retreat at no additional cost. Our termite treatments come with longer warranties, typically 5-8 years depending on the treatment method. All warranties are clearly explained in your service agreement.
Healesville properties commonly experience issues with spiders (including redbacks and white-tails), ants, cockroaches, rodents (mice and rats), possums, termites, and European wasps. The surrounding bushland also means properties may encounter wildlife like possums more frequently. Seasonal pests include mosquitoes in summer and rodents seeking shelter in winter. Our local expertise allows us to anticipate and address these regional pest challenges effectively.
For most standard treatments, you’ll need to vacate the premises during treatment and for 2-4 hours afterward to allow products to dry and odors to dissipate. The exact time will depend on the specific treatment and products used. Our technicians will provide clear instructions before treatment begins. For certain treatments like exterior-only services or baiting systems, you may not need to leave at all. We’re happy to schedule treatments at times that minimize disruption to your routine.
Basic preparation includes cleaning your home, storing food and dishes, providing access to all areas (moving furniture from walls), and making arrangements for pets. We’ll provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your scheduled treatment. For certain pests like bed bugs, more extensive preparation may be required. Our goal is to make the process as convenient as possible while ensuring effective treatment.
