Whether you are a homeowner or manager of a commercial building, ensuring your property stays pest-free is within your best interest. This is because unwanted creatures such as ants, termites and spiders can not only cause great damage to your property, but they can also pose a health risk.
If you are worried about potential unseen visitors in your home, purchasing a General Pest Treatment can not only seek out pests but also help prevent future infestation.
In this blog, we will discuss what a General Pest Treatment covers and its benefits.
A Comprehensive General Pest Treatment Checklist
During a General Pest Control Treatment, we will perform a comprehensive search for pests within your home. We then follow this up by treating your home with a variety of gels, dust compounds and spray. This will control pests for a long period of time. We will also help you to ensure your home or business is less appealing to pests.
A General Pest Control Treatment starts with an inspection.
Outside, we will treat the following:
- Your fence line.
- Garden.
- Fence.
- Pool area.
- Rubbish bins.
- Shed.
- Outside furniture.
- Gazebo.
- Walls of the house.
- Inside the walls, including weep holes, which are gaps between bricks.
We treat the inside of the weep holes with dust. By treating in this manner, the treatment doesn’t get washed away by the rain or broken down by the sun.
Inside, we will tackle:
- Cracks and Crevices.
- Window frames.
- Door frames.
- Skirting boards.
- Cupboards using gels.
- The roof void using dust.
Both the gels and dusts are effective for a lasting effect.
What Pests are Covered in the Treatment Price?
The General Pest Treatment is effective against a number of nuisance pests. In particular, this includes pests that cause property damage and pose health risks. These include:
- Cockroaches: These thrive in warm, moist areas like bathrooms and kitchens and spread diseases like Salmonella.
- Ants: These are commonly attracted to food storage and water sources.
- Spiders: Treatments target ground spiders and common webbing spiders.
- Add-on services for insects include silverfish, fleas, carpet beetles, German cockroaches, pantry months and termites.
- Rodents are also an add-on service to the standard general pest control treatment. Rodents are known for gnawing on electrical wires and damaging property structures. They can also spread diseases.
The Difference Between General Treatment and Termite Inspection
When it comes to the scope of General Pest Control Treatments, many insects are covered. However, when it comes to certain pests, specialist targeted treatments are required.
This is the case for termites, where simple pesticide dust treatment will not stop their infiltration. Termite eradication strategies can be done in one of two ways:
- Eradication of a termite colony by baiting.
- Building a chemical treatment zone between the termites and the property we are trying to protect.
If you are struggling with termites, Control Pest Management offers termite eradication as a specialist service.
