FAQ

How often you need pest control services depends on a range of factors. Factors can include the type of pests you are dealing with, the level of infestation, and your specific situation.

Canberra Pest Exterminators provide regular pest inspections if you’re concerned that there are bugs nearby!
We recommend getting these treatments three times a year if you have an infestation. Pest prevention is the best form of pest control.

The post-treatment process varies. What you need to do will change depending on the type of treatment or pests you’re dealing with. In most cases, we will provide specific instructions for you.

If you’re unsure you can always call us for more tips and instructions!

If you have an ant or spider treatment done, we will treat:

• all skirting areas
• in the roof cavity
• under the house where access can be gained.

Outside we treat all window and door frames, eaves, garden beds, pathways, fence lines, garages and sheds, and any other buildings outside. We can also spray the kid’s cubby unless otherwise specified.

All homes are treated on an individual and custom basis, as required by you, the homeowner.

Some procedures, like rodent treatments and pest inspections, do not require you to leave.

However, other treatments may require you to leave for 1 hour. Our pest technicians will contact you ahead of your appointment and let you know.

Pets, especially dogs and cats, should be moved for an hour or until the sprays are dry. Same as for birds in cages. We recommend covering fish tanks and bird cages with a sheet.

Pest treatments can take anywhere from half an hour to a full day. It depends on the size of the property being treated.

Ask your pest specialist for confirmation when scheduling your appointment.

If there is rain on the day of your appointment, you will be notified by our staff before the scheduled appointment time. Our staff will reschedule the treatment.
