General pest control is a good fit if you are seeing a mix of pests rather than one clear problem. A few ants in the kitchen, cockroaches at night, spiders under the eaves and silverfish in the wardrobe can all be dealt with in the one visit. Many homes in Mount Gravatt book this once a year, often before the warmer months when pest activity picks up.
The crew we book starts with a walk around the home to see what is active and where. They treat the inside of the home along skirting boards and in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, then move outside to the walls, eaves, garden edges, sheds and any subfloor. Roof spaces are dusted where the crew can get in. The crew will ask about pets, fish tanks and who will be home during the visit, and plan the treatment around that. For older timber homes, the subfloor and stumps get a closer look, while brick homes on slabs get more attention around weep holes and expansion joints.

Before the visit, clear the cupboards under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, move pet bowls and cover fish tanks. Keep children and pets out of treated areas until the crew says they can go back in. If you are seeing rats or mice as well, mention it when you call, as rodent work is booked a little differently. Call 07 3543 7766 to book general pest control for your home in Mount Gravatt.
