At Joondalup Pest Control, we get asked lots of questions. We have provided answers to some common ones below. If you have a different question, or just want some more information, just contact us.
How long have you been in business? Joondalup Pest Control has been established for over 20 years. We have always been based in Perth's northern suburbs. In fact we have been operating Joondalup Pest Control before Joondalup was the big city it is now. Over this time we have established a solid customer base of residential and commercial clients.
What pests do you treat? Here at Joondalup Pest Control we can solve all of your pest problems, including spiders, ants, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, fleas, termites, silverfish, rats, mice, relocate and remove bees and wasps. If there is something out of the normal causing you problems, give us a call and see if we can help you, or at least point you in the right direction.
Is Pest Control Safe For My Family? A very common question that we are asked. Obviously the thought of applying pesticides to your home or business, raises questions about the safety. Modern pest control is not about applying the most toxic product to kill everything. Good pest management experts know the importance of taking an integrated pest management approach, and carefully selecting the correct product to deal with the issue at hand. By selecting the correct product, we can efficiently control the pest issue, while still being environmentally responsible and offering the highest level of safety to you, your family or clients and your pets. Using a less toxic product does not mean less effective. In fact the products we use are constantly being researched, and as new products become available, they are typically being made less toxic to people and non target species. So we can have the best of both worlds when it comes to safety and effectiveness. So, to answer the question, for most people, having a professional pest control treatment is extremely safe. If you have any specific health concerns in regards to the products we use, please feel free to contact us and we can supply detailed product information so that you may discuss it with your health professional.
Does your work carry a warranty On all of our standard treatments, we provide a written warranty. If your pest problem is not solved, we will return at no further charge.
Are you Licensed? Joondalup Pest Control are fully licensed by the W.A Health Department. We are also insured, so you can use our pest control services at home, or your business with total peace of mind.
Do I Need to Leave the house while you treat it? Normally no. Unless we are doing an internal fumigation for silverfish etc. you are welcome to be home while we carry out treatment.
I have pets, can I still have a Pest Control Treatment? If you have cats, dogs, birds in portable cages etc. Then bring them indoors as we treat the exterior. They are safe to go back outside shortly after treatment. Birds in large aviaries, or fish ponds should be covered prior to treatment.
I've Booked in for a pest treatment, what do I need to do? For most common treatments (Ants, Cockroach, spiders) when we arrive, we will ask you to close your doors and widows while we arrive to treat the property, these can be opened shortly after treatment. Bring pets and pet bowls inside, remove washing from the clothes line. For best results, prior to us arriving, DO NOT remove the evidence of pests eg. Leave spider webs in place, leave ant mounds in place.
Do treatments smell or stain? The products that we used are considered to be very low odour, so typically there is no smell. The products do not stain, however as we treat around window frames, they will leave run marks on the glass. These wash off easily, so it is best NOT to wash your windows until after the treatment.
