Protect Your Home and Business from Pests
We offer a range of core services including residential pest control, commercial pest control, termite inspections and termite treatments.
Pest control Greater Geelong
Most homeowners opt for a once a year general pest control treatment. It covers all the main crawling insects and comes with a 6-month warranty. If you have a specific pest problem or a major infestation, we also offer specialist treatments for ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents and wasps.
Commercial Pest Control
For businesses and organisations across the Greater Geelong area, we provide regular commercial pest control services. We design a tailored program to suit your premises, typically scheduled weekly, monthly or quarterly depending on the type of business and the pest issues involved.
Termite Control Services
Termites and termite damage are the biggest threat to buildings – more than fire, flood and natural disaster combined. Yet, termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance. As such, it’s essential for homeowners to have a termite management plan to protect their home. A termite management plan consists of annual termite inspections and a termite protection system (termite treatment) to prevent termite attacks.
Termite Inspections
Annual termite inspections are recommended by building authorities and governments as the minimum action that all homeowners should take to protect their home from termites. We take time to carry out a comprehensive termite inspection and use the latest termite detection equipment (Termatrac).
The termite inspection will not only find signs of termite activity and damage on the property, but will identify potential building issues (such as water leaks) that create conditions which increase the risk of a termite attack.
Termite Treatments
To provide long termite protection from termites, it is important homes have termite protection. All homes will have some physical features which form part of the termite protection system, but these work in conjunction with termite protection products to prevent concealed termite entry to the building. New homes have termite protection installed during construction, but older homes will need a termite treatment to provide ongoing protection.
Termite treatments can either consist of an insecticide treatment to the soil or the installation of a termite monitoring and baiting system. In most cases, a soil treatment – a “termite barrier” – provides the highest level of termite protection.
Frequently asked questions
What pests are most common in Greater Geelong?
Across Greater Geelong the most common problems are crawling pests, mainly spiders, ants and cockroaches, which are most active from spring through autumn. Rodents tend to move indoors over the cooler months, and mosquitoes can be an issue near the rivers, estuaries and lakes. Termites are a year-round threat to homes throughout the region.
Which Greater Geelong suburbs do you service?
We service the whole City of Greater Geelong, including Geelong, Armstrong Creek, Belmont, Corio, Highton, Lara, Moolap, Norlane, North Geelong and Waurn Ponds. If your suburb is not listed, call us on 1300 135 519 and we almost certainly cover it.
How often should I get a termite inspection?
We recommend a professional termite inspection at least once a year for homes in the Greater Geelong area. Termite damage is not covered by standard home insurance, so an annual inspection is the minimum step to protect your home, and it lets us catch activity early before it becomes costly damage.
Is your pest control safe for children and pets?
Yes. The safety of your family, pets and the environment is our number-one priority. We apply products in accordance with their label and target the areas where pests live rather than open living spaces. We will let you know how long to keep children and pets off treated areas, usually just until the treatment has dried.
How long does a pest treatment take to work?
You will often see a knockdown of visible pests within 24 to 48 hours. For ants, cockroaches and rodents that rely on baiting, the full effect builds over the following one to three weeks as the treatment reaches the nest or colony. Avoid mopping or vacuuming treated skirting boards for 7 to 10 days so the residual barrier stays effective.
Do you offer a warranty on your treatments?
Yes. Our standard general pest treatment comes with a 6 month warranty. If covered pests return within the warranty period, we’ll come back and re-treat at no extra cost.
