German Cockroach Pest Control Sydney

 

Generally, with German cockroaches the further they move away from water the larger their populations. Once their nests become over crowded they are forced to go into rooms where there is no easy water supply.

Your pest control consultant will ask you what rooms you are seeing the German cockroaches in

Are they just confined to the kitchen, bathroom or laundry or have you seen any signs of German cockroaches in the lounge room or bedrooms?

How are German cockroaches treated?

 

PNP Pest Control Sydney uses a paste that is placed inside the kitchen, bathroom, laundry cupboards, behind your appliances and in other specific areas within the rooms that are affected.

How Does the Gel Work?

 

The gel is placed in the hinges of the cupboards and behind your appliances using a syringe and then hardens. The German cockroaches see this gel as a food source and will feed from it.

As cockroaches lick themselves clean, when they go back to the nest and other cockroaches start the cleaning process the chemical is passed amongst each other inside the nest.

Preparing for The German Cockroach Treatment

 

  • Clean up internally
  • clean behind the fridge if accessible
  • under the microwave
  • Limit the clutter within the house
  • Limit paper goods
  • throw out cardboard boxes and plastic bags

What to Expect After a German Cockroach Treatment

 

  • German cockroaches will be flushed out and will continue for up to 6 weeks
  • It is common to see baby German cockroaches coming out approx. 3- 4 weeks after the treatment
  • You should notice a 70-80% reduction in the first week and will continue to decrease

Do not be alarmed if you do not see any dead cockroaches, this does not mean that the treatment is not working as there is a possibility that they will die within their nests.

PNP Pest Control Recommends:

 

  • Cleaning ? Before the pest control treatment
  • Moving into a new property?  Pest control after cleaning & before moving in.
  • Painting? Finish it before pest control.
  • General Pest treatments should be carried out annually or 6 monthly for problem areas
  • Repair any leaking plumbing or appliances as they will invite cockroaches to your property

How Long Is the Warranty?

 

PNP Pest Control Sydney offers a 6-month warranty on our cockroach treatments

Bed Bug Treatment Sydney

Bed Bug Treatment Sydney

Preparation and Expectations

United in solving your pest issues

NOTE: bed bug treatments take time, there is no instant kill for bed bugs!

Before the treatment

What you need to do:

 

  • Wash all items in wardrobes and cupboards in hot water and eucalyptus oil.
  • Place in a hot dryer. If you cannot place in a hot dryer, FREEZE THE CLOTHES.
  • Place in plastic bags and wear your clothes in and out of the plastic bags for the next 6 weeks. Second treatments maybe be required but not before 4-6 weeks. This enables any live bed bugs and eggs that have hatched to come across the insecticide.
  • You are required to vacate the property for 4 hrs after the treatment has been conducted
  • If you are taking your clothing to a dry cleaner you should tell them that you have a bedbug issue at your property, so they can keep your clothing away from other customer’s clothes. Bedbugs can spread via clothing.

The Day of the treatment

What we will do : 

 

Internally:

We can either treat the entire residence (excluding kitchen) or just rooms.

Treatment areas:
  • Bed
  • Mattress
  • Bed Slats & Frame
  • Draws
  • Power points
  • Behind pictures
  • Carpet and edges
  • Floor boards
  • Behind electrical equipment
  • Anywhere else deemed necessary.

After the Treatment: 

 

Expectation

 

6 weeks – Follow up treatment may be required

What you may see:

 

  • Bed bugs will decrease over the next 6 weeks
  • 50% reduction in the first week.
  • You may still see and get bitten over the next few weeks, but that will decrease.

 

How are bed bugs treated?

 

We use a chemical application to all affected areas; this can be done to one room or the entire house, all depending on the rooms that are affected.  If more than one room is affected, we would recommend that you treat the entire house.

The areas treated will include:

  • Bed – slats, bed frame or ensemble
  • Mattress
  • Drawers
  • Power points
  • Behind pictures
  • Carpet and edges
  • Floor boards
  • Behind electrical equipment
  • Anywhere deemed necessary

How Does the Bed bug Treatment Work?

 

For the bedbugs to die they need to physically encounter the chemical.

Once they have come across the chemical it can take up to 10-12 hours for them to die.

This process aids in preventing other rooms being affected by bed bugs.

As bedbugs are nocturnal, it can take time for them to come across the chemical application.

Why are heat treatments for bedbugs not recommended?

 

For heat or steam to be effective against bedbugs the temperature needs to be between 65-75 degrees for a sustained period. Apart from the risk of fire, burns from the heat and steam areas such as cracks and crevices may not penetrate the heat, deeming the process inadequate.

Heat and steam can also damage furniture and has the potential of causing mould from the moisture left behind after steaming.

Do I need to Dispose my Furniture?

 

We are often asked about furniture and if a customer should throw their furniture away. We are pleased to inform you there is no need to throw away your furniture as it can be treated successfully.

Disposing bedbug infested furniture, you may create a risk of infestation for those around you.

How Should I prepare my house for bedbug control?

 

Apart from the clothing preparations previously mentioned

Internally
  • Clean up internally & externally
  • Wipe down counter-tops down
  • Wipe under appliances to remove food scraps
  • Wipe down any open jars of honey, syrups or sugars
  • Limit the clutter within the house
  • Limit paper goods and throw out cardboard boxes.

What to Expect After a Bedbug Pest Control Treatment

 

Bed bugs will decrease over the next 6 weeks.

You should notice a 50% reduction in the first week and this will continue to decrease over the next 6 weeks.

It is very normal to see and be bitten by bedbugs during this time, however if at the 6 week mark post treatment you are still seeing or being bitten by bedbugs then this is your indication that you will need the follow up treatment.

We have found that those who do conduct the preparations do get a better result than those who don’t.

Steps that you can take to Protect Your Home from bed bugs

 

  • Don’t take mattresses or padded furniture that has been left on the street
  • Inspect your bed sheets for blood spots, markings that look like rust or ink spots
  • Keep your suitcases covered in plastic and off the floor when you travel
  • When you travel, take a small flashlight to help you look for bed bugs.
  • When you return from a trip, wash all your clothes – even those that have not been worn – in hot water to ensure that any bed bugs that may have made it that far are not placed into your drawers/closet.

PNP Pest Control Recommends:

 

  • All deep cleaning including carpet cleaning should be completed before the pest control treatment
  • If you are moving into a new property it is best to have the pest control completed after the cleaning has been completed & before you move in.
  • Any painting should be completed before the pest control treatment
  • Repair any leaking plumbing or appliances as they will invite cockroaches to your property

How Long Is the Warranty?

 

PNP Pest Control does not offer warranty for bedbug treatments. Bedbug infestations do not occur naturally, they are physically introduced (carried in).

After the treatment

 

Expectation

6 week flush out period

What you may see:
  • It’s common to continue to see ants up to 3 weeks after treatment
  • If ants appear to be scattered, it means the treatment is working
  • Pesticides used for ants are designed to be returned to the nest
  • Follow the instructions as provided to you by our pest control technicians

How are ants treated?

 

Ants travel through unsanitary paths before they end up in your home, on your counter-tops, in your cupboards and near your food.

Ants externally cannot be eradicated with the traditional cockroach/spider sprays and ants typically will stay away from areas that have been treated with spider or cockroach sprays.

It is common that a company may tell you that ants are covered in their general spray, however what they are not informing you, ants will close off the entry points to their nests and will relocate them to another area.

PNP Pest Controls’ ant treatments do not just eradicate the surface ants, it is designed to eradicate the entire nest of ants and their queen.

What areas are treated?

 

Internal:

A low toxic ant bait will be placed in areas where ants and their trails are being seen. The ants will carry the bait back with them to the nest, passing it amongst themselves and the queen.

External:

A spray, Termidor,  is sprayed around the perimeter of your house

Ant Treatments in Sydney – How Does the Ant Treatment Work?

 

The ant bait and the Termidor spray work in the same manner where the ants carry the product back to the nest.

Ants cannot detect that the bait and spray are an insecticide they walk over the product, carry it back with them to the nest and pass the chemical amongst each other inside the nest.

This process eradicates the entire nest of ants, including the queen.

By using this process, the nest does not need to be located as the ants will do the work and carry the insecticide with them back to the nest.

Steps that you can take to Protect Your Home from ants

 

Internally:
  • Clean up spills and food crumbs quickly.
  • Empty rubbish bins often
  • Do not feed pets outside
  • Store food in pest-proof containers
  • Rinse out jars and containers before placing them in rubbish and recycling bins
Externally:
  • Keep trees and shrubs trimmed back from your house.
  • Keep gutters and storm drains free of debris
  • Watch for new ant mounds or nests around your home
  • Keep trash bags sealed and in closed rubbish bins
  • Seal doors and windows

 

Is Termidor Safe to Be Used Around Children & Pets?

 

Termidor has been assessed by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicine Authority and Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and is fully approved for use in domestic situations.

Termidor is water-based and virtually has no odour, will not leach through soil and is not damaging to soil micro-organisms, earthworms and plants. In addition, the active ingredient is used extensively on food crops around the world and as the leading product for flea and tick control on dogs and cats in Australia since 1996.

Termidor has also been safely used in over 4 million homes throughout the USA and Europe.

 

How Should I prepare my house for pest control?

 

Internally
  • Clean up internally & externally
  • Wipe down counter-tops down
  • Wipe under appliances to remove food scraps
  • Wipe down any open jars of honey, syrups or sugars
  • Limit the clutter within the house
  • Limit paper goods and throw out cardboard boxes.
Externally
  • Don’t hang the washing out
  • Mow the lawns
  • Limit garbage outside
  • Clean up the backyard area
  • Pack away any kids or pet toys.

 

What Should I Expect After an Ant Treatment?

 

  • It is common to see ants sitting near or around the ant bait.
  • Do not remove the ants
  • Do not disturb the ants

The reason for this is that we need the ants to carry the bait back with them to the nest and by interrupting them it interrupts the process of the ants carrying the bait back with them to the nest.

You may see ants up to 3 weeks after treatment.

If you are seeing ants that are scattered or dying this is your indication that the treatment is working.

 

PNP Pest Control Recommends:

 

  • All deep cleaning including carpet cleaning should be completed before the pest control treatment

United in solving your pest issues

The most common questions asked to any pest control company after pest control treatment has been completed is:

After Pest Control

Most home owners want to be sure they know what to expect and what steps they should take once the treatment has been completed as they do not want to do anything that may compromise the treatment and they want to also make sure that their loved ones are safe.

Should cleaning be completed before or after pest control?

Ideally PNP Pest Control recommends any deep cleaning is completed before the pest control, including vacuuming and mopping the floors, which would reduce the risk of the pesticides being compromised.

Once the treatment has been completed we also recommend not frequently mopping if possible, if you do need to mop we ask that you refrain from mopping around the edges for at least the first few weeks.

Sweeping & vacuuming is fine (depending on the treatment you have had done and your consultant will advise if there are any changes to this.

Our pest control services are safe to be used around children and pets.

However, some customers may prefer to keep children and pets out of the way while the treatment is being conducted.

Please note: There are some treatments where we require you to vacate the premises for a period of time, this will be discussed with you at the time of booking.

What should I expect after the pest control has been completed?

Certain pest control treatments such as the general spray include dusting the roof void, sub floor, weep holes and all cracks and crevices with a fine dust. It is common to see an increase in pest activity in the first week or two.

This is known as the knock down stage or flushing out period.

In the case of German cockroach treatments, areas such as the fridge, dishwasher, microwave, under cabinets and inside cupboards are treated, the pesticides used will flush the cockroaches out.

PNP Pest Control used bait to eradicate rats & mice

Roof

Bait will be placed in the roof cavity/space which is accessed through the man hole inside your home.

Internal

Rodent Bait blocks will be placed in internal areas such as behind the fridge, stove, washing machine, cupboards and behind furniture.

Sub Floor

Bait blocks will also be placed in the area under the house. If these areas are accessible to pets or children, the baits must be placed in lockable boxes.

Externally

Rats and mice come from external areas before they make it into your house, so we would recommend to get the external areas treated.

PNP pest Control recommends using lockable rodent stations as it not only protects pets, children neighbouring pests or wildlife they also protect the baits from rain – providing you with a longer protection.

How Does Rat Bait Work?

Most rodent baits available in today’s market are anticoagulants which means the baits are designed  to affect the rat or mice blood, by reducing the ability of blood to clot so they will bleed internally and die.

What Damage Can Untreated Rat or Mice Infestations Cause?

Rats

  • Cause significant damage to wires.
  • Have even been known to chew through floor joists and walls.
  • Cause damage to your homes insulation.
