Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to treat our house ?
Pest treatments can vary greatly depending on what you want done, but for general household pest control please see this link - Pest Control Prices Do we need to vacate the premises during treatment ? Depends on the situation. For the majority of pest treatments you won't need to vacate your home or office, but we do recommend staying away from the areas being treated at the time. Discuss with your technician for more information. |

Is the treatment harmful to us or our pets ?
No, the pesticides we use are designed for insects and insects only. However, we do recommend avoiding the treatment areas until fully dried. Read our blog on - Is Pest Control Safe ?
Do we need to remove cutlery, plates and food stuff from the cupboards ?
No, the days of removing everything from the cupboards are long gone, now we use a combination of gel baits and dusts to treat your cupboards, this prevents pesticides from ending up on all your stored items in your cupboards.
Do we need to do anything prior to treatment ?
No, not really, but it does help if the home is in a reasonably tidy state so we can access all areas easily.
Do you offer a free service period ? Yes, Pest Off Solutions does offer a free service period :
Cockroach - 12 Months
Ants - 12 Months
Spiders (Webbing spiders only) - Internal - 3 Months External - 12 Months.

How long does a treatment take ?
Depending on what it is we are treating or doing it will generally be about 1 - 4 hours. A Vacate Tick and Flea Treatment might be 1 hour but a Timber Pest Inspection + Cockroach/Silverfish, Ant and Spider Treatment will take about 3-4 hours. Do I need to cover my Fish tanks ? Depending on what you're having done, if it's a Flea treatment, Bird Lice Treatment or Spider Treatment I will definitely recommend it. We certainly do not go spraying above the Fish Tanks as this would potentially cause an issue. Can you get rid of Geckos ? I get asked this at least once a day, and the answer is not really, There is no residual treatment method to prevent Geckos from coming in your homes but you can do things to significantly reduce your gecko population around your home.
