FAQs - Insects

Q- I have had a wasp nest treated, do I now need to remove the nest?
A- No, wasps never re-inhabit an old nest.

Q- My property has been treated for ants, will I get ants again after this infestation?
A- It is likely that unless the nest is located and destroyed, future generations of ants will re-inhabit old nests. Unfortunately, most nests are under house foundations and cannot be accessed. Our treatment comes with a guarantee of 6 months.

Q- I am still seeing ants/fleas after my property has been treated?
A- This is quite normal for 14 days following a treatment. You only need to call us if you see ants/fleas after the initial 14 days!

 

FAQs - Rodents

Q- My property has been treated, but I am still seeing rats/mice?
A- This is quite normal, once baits have been laid it is likely that you will still rats/mice for several weeks.

Q- Can I lay traps of poison myself, while you are treating my propery?
A- No, this is not advisable for 2 reasons. 1: You may cause poisoning to any other 'non-target' species (cats/birds) if too much poison is laid. 2: The bait you set on your traps may be more palatable, causing them to eat the bait, not the poison.

Q- You have been treating our property for rats/mice and now we have a smell, can anything be done?
A- If a rodent had died in your house, the smell will take anything between 2-4 weeks to go. If possible, and if you can find it, the body should be removed. I f you cannot find the body, strong deodorisers can be used to mask the smell.
