Pest Control Treatment FAQs

  • Is Spraying My House Safe for My Family and Pets?

    We always use the safest and most effective products on all your properties. If the inside of your property needs spraying, we recommend vacating until the spray has dried to avoid you or your family touching the spray while still wet. Once the spray has completely dried, you are welcome back to the property. Spraying will also keep nasty spiders like redbacks and other pests under control.

  • What Should I Do if I See Termites in My House or Yard?

    Never disturb or spray termites, as this will only cause them to spread and make it more difficult for Dynamite Pest Control to treat. You need a certified pest manager to carry out a full inspection of your buildings and yard which will determine precisely what we are dealing with and give you a few options of treatments that will best suit the situation. The termite nest and termite queen need to be eradicated first, which we never recommend anyone untrained to try and risk doing themselves.

  • What is Better, a Chemical Barrier or a Termite Baiting System?

    The best thing to do is to get advice on both systems from a trusted pest manager and see what will work for you and your property, as no two jobs are ever the same. With some jobs, a chemical barrier may be impossible to install and vice versa, so we need to see your property first to see what options are available. If either one can be used, so long as the job is done according to Australian standards and the label, both a chemical barrier and termite baiting system will get the job done, which Dynamite Pest Control can provide.

  • I Have a Huge German Cockroach Problem! Can It Be Treated Successfully Without Emptying My Cupboards?

    We use a range of quality cockroach gels to ensure the pests are completely eradicated from your property. Sometimes if there is an infestation of German cockroaches, a second treatment may be required after three weeks which is usually sufficient to wipe them out. There is no need to empty cupboards as we place gel on hinges, cracks and crevices behind dishwashers, fridges and microwaves to ensure they are thoroughly banished.

  • When Spraying a House, What and Where Do You Spray?

    We generally spray outside your house, including gutters and eaves, weep holes, fences, BBQ subfloor, sheds and swimming pool areas. Inside, we dust the roof void; if the owner wants, we spray around skirting boards as well.

  • Are Termite Inspections Important?

    Termite inspections are essential and should be carried out every 12 months unless you live where there is a lot of bush and trees, which needs to be done more frequently. Termite inspections warn you of high termite activity on your property, which you can do something about. It may save you thousands of dollars if termites are already in your home by getting treatment early before extensive damage is done.

  • If I Get a General Pest Spray and a Termite Inspection at the Same Time, Do I Get a Discount?

    Yes, as it saves us a lot of time, too, you will generally get a 10-15% discount if we can provide two or more services simultaneously.

  • How Long Does It Take for the Chemicals to Dry?

    Weather conditions and where in the house we spray will determine how long it takes to dry. On a sunny day, it can take 2-3 hours. It's best to check the surfaces to see if they still appear wet. It's best not to let other people or pets into your home until you can see that the treatment has dried.
