Chris Pest Control Sunshine

For most homes in Sunshine, we recommend quarterly treatments (every 3 months) to maintain effective pest protection year-round. This schedule addresses seasonal pest patterns and provides continuous protection. However, specific situations may require more frequent or specialised treatment schedules. During your initial inspection, our technicians will recommend an optimal schedule based on your property’s specific needs.

Yes, we prioritise safety in all our treatments. We use modern pest control products that are designed to be low-toxicity while remaining effective against pests. Our technicians are trained to apply these products in ways that minimise exposure to children, pets, and beneficial wildlife. We’ll provide specific safety instructions for each treatment, including recommended waiting periods before allowing children and pets back into treated areas.

Treatment times vary based on property size and pest issues. For an average 3-4 bedroom home, a general pest treatment typically takes 45-90 minutes. More complex situations like severe infestations or larger properties may require 2-3 hours. Our technicians work efficiently while ensuring thorough coverage of all necessary areas. We’ll provide a time estimate when scheduling your appointment.

For most standard treatments, you don’t need to vacate completely, though we recommend staying out of actively treated areas until products have dried (typically 2-4 hours). For certain treatments like fumigation or extensive indoor spraying, temporary evacuation may be necessary. We’ll clearly communicate any evacuation requirements before your appointment and provide specific timeframes for safe re-entry.

Basic preparation includes: (1) Clearing clutter from floors and surfaces to allow access to treatment areas; (2) Storing food, dishes, and utensils in sealed cabinets; (3) Covering or storing children’s toys; (4) Ensuring pets are secured away from treatment areas; (5) Providing clear access to key areas like sinks, baseboards, and entry points. We’ll provide specific preparation instructions based on your scheduled treatment type.

We prioritise environmentally responsible pest management by: (1) Using targeted application methods that minimise product use; (2) Selecting modern formulations designed to break down quickly in the environment; (3) Offering green treatment options where appropriate; (4) Emphasising non-chemical prevention strategies; (5) Following Integrated Pest Management principles that focus on long-term prevention with minimal environmental impact.
