A general pest spray is the most common booking we take on the Gold Coast. It covers the crawling insects that turn up in most homes, such as cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish, with a treatment inside the home, in the roof void and around the outside walls. Many people book one each year before summer, or when they start seeing pests during the day.
Inside, the crew we book treats the places pests hide and travel, such as behind and under appliances, along skirting boards, in cupboard corners and around pipes. In the roof void they apply a dust that settles into the spaces where cockroaches and silverfish shelter. Outside, they spray the walls, weep holes, eaves, window and door frames, and the edges of paths and garden beds.

To get ready, clear the benches, move items out from under the sinks and pull furniture slightly away from the walls. Put pets in a closed room or take them out for a while, and cover fish tanks. The crew will tell you how long to stay off treated areas, which is usually until sprays have dried.
Raised homes, split-level houses and homes with large decks may take a little longer, as the crew treats under the deck and around the subfloor as well. Homes with thick gardens against the walls or a lot of outdoor lighting often need a little extra attention outside, so mention these when you call. You get upfront pricing on the phone before anything is booked. For a general pest spray on the Gold Coast, call 07 3543 7765.
