General pest control is the booking most people in Oakleigh make when they are seeing a few different pests and want them all dealt with at the same time. It covers the common crawling pests inside and around the home, so you are not ringing back every few weeks when something new turns up. Cockroaches under the sink, ants along the skirting boards and spiders in the corners of the windows can all be handled in one visit.
When you call, we ask a few simple questions. Do you live in a unit, a townhouse or a house? Is there a roof space, a subfloor or a garden shed? What have you seen, and in which rooms? From those answers we give you upfront pricing on the phone, then book a nearby independent crew for a day and time that works for you.
- Kitchen, bathroom and laundry treatment for cockroaches
- Spraying of eaves, window frames, fences and sheds for spiders
- Treatment along paths, slab edges and door frames for ants
- Dusting of the roof space where the crew can reach it
- A walk around the yard to point out things that draw pests in
Before the crew arrives, clear the kitchen benches, empty the cupboard under the sink and move pet bowls away. Make sure the manhole can be reached. Keep children and pets out of treated rooms until the crew tells you surfaces are dry. If anyone feels unwell, ask your doctor or ring the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26, and call 000 if it is life-threatening.
A lot of households book a general treatment each spring, before the warm weather brings pests out. Homes near Scotchmans Creek or busy shopping strips often add an autumn visit too. Call 03 7053 9857 to get a price and a time for your home in Oakleigh.
