We do our best to limit the exposure of chemicals. Often you may simply need to stay out of the house after a treatment for a little longer than usually needed. If you or any member of your family suffers from asthma or is sensitive to chemicals, please let us know, or seek medical advice.

The chemicals used in pest control are generally safe for pets and items such as baits will be placed in locations out of their reach.  However we recommend taking a few basic precautions, including removing your pets from the treatment area for at least 2 hours, and covering or removing all food and drink bowls.

Our products are carefully selected to have the lowest possible toxicity to humans, and placed in areas that are not normally accessed.   We recommend that all people stay out of the house for a period of time after pest control treatments.   If you have any concerns, please talk to us or your medical professional.

We only use products approved by the Department of Primary Industry and energy Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), and which are formulated to provide as little damage or toxicity to the environment as possible.  They are all researched and formulated to break down over time, so that they do not produce a toxic build-up that will threaten the ecosystem.

Generally, you will not need to leave the house during the treatment.   However we recommend that anyone with sensitivities, allergies or medical condition stay away for up to 24 hours as a precaution.
