Pest Control Caloundra

Signs vary depending on the pest, however, the can include sightings, droppings, unusual odours, and damage. If you notice any of these, professional pest control may be needed.

To prevent pests, keep your home clean, store food in sealed containers, eliminate moisture sources, and seal entry points. Regular pest control treatments can provide long-term protection.

DIY pest control can be effective for killing the odd cockroach, for example, but when the infestation is severe, it is time to bring in a professional pest technician. When it comes to termites, we do not recommend any form of DIY treatment. DIY treatments may kill the termites you can see, but they will not kill the colony nearby which could contain millions of termites, so before long termites will return. Also, using over-the-counter pesticides incorrectly may pose health risks. Only a professional pest control service ensures safe and effective results.

Modern pest control treatments use low-toxicity and environmentally friendly products that are safe for humans and pets when applied correctly. At Suburban Pest Management, we take extra precautions to ensure your family's safety. Keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they dry is recommended.

Preparing for pest control depends on the treatment. Generally, you should clear clutter, store food, vacuum floors, and move furniture away from walls if necessary. Our team will provide specific instructions based on your pest issue.

We always recommend you step outside while pest control is being done inside and vice versa, that you step inside while pest control is being done outside. Our technician will advise the best course of action while onsite.

It’s best to clean before pest control to remove food sources and clutter that might harbour pests. After treatment, avoid deep cleaning for at least a few days to allow the pest control products to work effectively. Light cleaning can be done as needed.

The time it takes for pest control to work varies. Some treatments, like cockroach sprays, show results within hours, while others, like termite baiting, can take weeks. Most infestations show a noticeable reduction within days.

For general pest prevention, professional pest control every 6 to 12 months is recommended. High-risk properties or businesses may require more frequent treatments. If you experience recurring infestations, more frequent visits may be necessary.

Pest control costs vary depending on the pest type, severity, and treatment required. General pest treatments start from $198 for a simple urban pest treatment such as cockroaches, whereas complex urban pests such as German cockroaches require a custom quote because they are likely to require a return visit.

Suburban Pest Management also offers an online special, our Comprehensive Pest Solution, which treats cockroaches, ants, web spiders, and silverfish for $297.
