A general pest treatment covers the everyday crawling pests in one visit. It is the most common booking for homes in Ripley, and it suits families who want a once-a-year treatment before the warm months rather than dealing with each pest as it shows up. We give you upfront pricing based on the size of your home, then book a nearby independent crew.
The treatment usually has three parts. Inside, the crew applies gel baits in kitchens and bathrooms and a light treatment along skirting boards and in cupboards where pests shelter. In the roof space, they apply a dust or spray that settles into the areas cockroaches and spiders use. Outside, they spray around the base of the house, doors, windows, eaves and fences to create a treated zone that pests must cross to get in.
- Gel baiting in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries
- Treatment of skirting boards, cupboards and wet areas where needed
- Roof void dusting or spraying
- A perimeter spray around walls, eaves, windows and doors
- Web removal and treatment of outdoor furniture, letterboxes and sheds
Most households in the area book a general treatment every 12 months, often in spring. Homes backing onto bush, creeks or paddocks may need it more often, because pests keep moving in from outside. The crew will tell you how long to stay out of treated rooms, usually until the spray has dried, and what to expect in the days after as pests come into contact with the product.
If you have a specific problem as well, such as rats in the roof or fleas in the carpet, add it to the same booking. To book a general pest treatment in Ripley, call 07 3543 7766.
