Chris Pest Control Subiaco

Yes, we prioritise the safety of your family and pets. We use products specifically formulated for residential use that have low toxicity to humans and animals when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments in a way that minimises exposure risk. We’ll provide clear instructions about any waiting periods before re-entering treated areas. We also offer child and pet-friendly treatment options that use the least toxic effective methods for your pest issues.

To prepare for a residential pest control treatment, we recommend: (1) Clearing clutter from floors and surfaces to allow access to baseboards and corners; (2) Storing food items and kitchenware in cabinets or covering them; (3) Removing pets from the treatment area, including covering fish tanks and turning off pumps; (4) Ensuring children’s toys are stored away; (5) Moving furniture slightly away from walls if possible; and (6) Vacuuming thoroughly before treatment. Our technician will provide specific instructions based on your scheduled service type.

For most general pest treatments, you don’t need to leave your home entirely, but we recommend staying out of the treated areas during application and for 2-4 hours afterward. For certain treatments like fumigation or extensive indoor spraying, temporary relocation may be necessary. Our technician will clearly explain the specific requirements for your treatment type before beginning work and provide a safe re-entry time. We’re flexible with scheduling to minimise disruption to your daily routine.

Between professional treatments, maintain pest control by: (1) Keeping your home clean, especially kitchen areas; (2) Storing food in sealed containers; (3) Promptly fixing leaky pipes and eliminating standing water; (4) Sealing cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and utility entries; (5) Keeping vegetation trimmed away from your home; (6) Properly storing firewood away from the house; and (7) Regularly emptying bins and keeping them clean. Our technicians can provide personalised advice specific to your property and the pests common in your Subiaco neighbourhood.

After pest treatment in your Subiaco property, we recommend avoiding cleaning treated surfaces for 7-10 days to maintain effectiveness. You can resume normal cleaning in untreated areas immediately. For floors and surfaces that must be cleaned sooner, spot cleaning is acceptable, but avoid mopping or thoroughly wiping treated baseboards, corners, and crack and crevice applications. If you need to clean a treated area urgently, please contact us for specific guidance. Our technician will provide detailed cleaning instructions based on the specific treatment applied to your property.

Yes, it’s completely normal to see increased pest activity for a few days after treatment in your Subiaco property. This happens because pests are being flushed from their hiding places as they come into contact with the treatment. This is actually a sign the treatment is working. Most professional treatments continue working for weeks after application, gradually reducing pest populations. If you continue to see significant pest activity after 2-3 weeks, please contact us for a follow-up assessment. Different pests have different response times to treatment, which our technician will explain during your service.

The effectiveness duration of pest treatments in Subiaco varies based on several factors. General pest treatments typically remain effective for 3-6 months. Factors affecting longevity include: (1) The type of pest being treated; (2) Environmental conditions like rain and sun exposure for exterior treatments; (3) Cleaning practices that might remove product from treated surfaces; (4) The specific products and methods used; and (5) Ongoing pest pressure in your area. Some specialised treatments like termite barriers can last several years. Our technician will explain the expected duration for your specific treatment and recommend an appropriate follow-up schedule.

If you continue to see pests after treatment in your Subiaco property: (1) Keep track of what pests you’re seeing, how many, and where; (2) Wait at least 2 weeks for the full effect of the treatment, as some pests may take time to encounter the applied products; (3) Contact us if significant activity continues after this period; (4) Avoid applying your own pesticides, as these might interfere with our treatments; (5) Ensure you’re following prevention recommendations like proper food storage and sealing entry points. Many of our services include a service warranty period during which we’ll return for free follow-up treatments if needed.
