Termite questions
As per government guidelines, we recommend a termite inspection once a year.

Between $1500-$6000, depending on the severity of the outbreak, size of your property or affected area, and other factors. Contact us for a more precise free quote.
Yes, because there is no guarantee that termites won’t return. They may still be able find a way to breach the treatment and physical barriers.
Every year for termite baiting and monitoring systems and every 6-8 years for Termidor. It also depends of the type of barrier that you have installed.
Creepy crawly questions
No, because ants and spiders are sensitive to different chemicals. Once the aerosol reaches the spider, it is immobilised straight away. To destroy an ant colony, the poison must not immediately immobilise the ants, but instead be collected by worker ants and carried back to the colony underground.
The spider infestation as it is the easiest and fastest to control.
For outdoor treatments, you can be at home provided that you keep windows and door shut. For indoor treatments, depending on the weather, you’ll need to leave the house for two to three hours.
For regular cockroaches, yes. For German cockroaches you’ll need something stronger and spray more extensively, as they are clever at hiding in tight spots and less affected by spider sprays
If the pest problem is located indoors, you’ll only need to spray inside.
You should start applying these in the lead up to the warmer months of the year.
Rodents, possums and birds
Secondary poisoning is very unlikely as we use the highest quality bait stations.
No. We follow government regulations and safely relocate them in a new home.
Rodents are noisy during the day and night as they are always active, whereas possums tend to be active just before dawn and after dusk.
No. We do not recommend ignoring them because they can breed quickly, spread germs and cause extensive damage to your home and electrical wiring.
We normally use gutter mesh, but if an outbreak is severe, or you have a commercial property, we can apply chemical traps. If necessary, we have a bird shooting license to quickly eliminate the problem.

Reviews - What our clients say
Had a very rare pest issue, a bug digging out the brick mortar. The several pest companies I called couldn't help. Quinto was the ONLY person willing to invest some time to investigate the problem in the hope of finding a solution for me. He understood I had a serious problem which needed a fix, and I appreciated that level of personal commitment. Problem solved! Thank you so much.
