Incorrect pesticide application exposes your family to toxic residues. Rodent droppings carry hantavirus and leptospirosis, requiring proper protective equipment and disposal methods that most homeowners lack.

A technician visits your Ballarat property within 24 hours of your call to inspect affected areas, identify pest species, locate entry points, and assess the extent of infestation. Inspections cover roof spaces, subfloors, wall cavities, and exterior perimeter. You receive a verbal summary and written quote before any work begins.
We determine the most effective treatment approach based on pest type, property construction, and your household situation. Families with young children, pregnant women, or pets receive modified treatment plans using lower-toxicity products. The assessment includes a sketch of your property marking treatment zones and entry points.
Technicians apply targeted treatments using commercial-grade products not available at retail stores. Methods vary by pest: rodents receive bait stations and traps, cockroaches get gel bait and residual spray, possums require exclusion devices. Treatment takes 1-3 hours depending on property size and infestation severity.
We remove dead pests, clear bait station debris, and collect monitoring traps at the end of the treatment period. For rodent and possum jobs, this includes sanitising affected areas with hospital-grade disinfectant and removing contaminated insulation if requested. All waste goes into sealed containers for proper disposal.
Before leaving, technicians seal identified entry points using steel mesh, expanding foam, or metal flashing. You receive a written report listing completed work, products used, and specific recommendations for preventing re-infestation. Follow-up inspections are scheduled for complex jobs requiring multiple treatments.
