Put simply, yes. It is essential to safeguard your Adelaide home or business from pests that can cause structural damage, spread disease and present danger to your family or your clients and customers.

How does pest control work? With TPC, we operate on a three-pronged approach. The first is prevention. The best way to get rid of pests is to stop them in their tracks, which we can do with systems like termite reticulation and other modern, effective methods.

Secondly, it is vital to have regular inspections to see if there are any pests lurking where you might not be able to see them. We have numerous clients ask how can I prevent a pest problem? The easy answer is to schedule these annual inspections so we can get right on top of any minor issues before they become major ones.

Finally, TPC is available for immediate and emergency action when an infestation has taken hold and threatens your Adelaide property.

If you suspect a pest problem in your home or business, there are several signs to look out for. One of the most obvious indicators is the presence of droppings. Pests often frequent certain areas and leave behind faeces. Additionally, pests can cause visible damage to buildings, furniture, and other items. Certain pests also emit distinct odours that can be a clear sign of their presence.

You might also find materials that pests use for nests. Seeing a pest, especially during the day, is another clear sign of an infestation. At times, you may hear noises such as scratching or scurrying which can indicate the presence of pests. Some pests leave tracks or trails that can be spotted if you know what to look for.

Finding dead bugs in your premises can signify a larger problem. Holes and gnaw marks are often indications of rodents. Lastly, if you or others start experiencing increased allergy symptoms, it could be due to dust mites and other pests. If you notice any of these signs, it’s recommended to get in touch with a pest control professional.

After any pest control treatment, our team of experts at Tom’s Pest Control will walk you through how to ensure that your treatment process continues to work without any unnecessary disruptions. We’ll provide you with a set of instructions which are vital for you to follow as well as a safety sheet that will provide you with further information. After pest control spray, we recommend that you avoid mopping the edges of internal walls for the first couple of weeks to ensure that the process continues to work successfully. However, you can still clean and vacuum both the interior and exterior of your property.

Understanding who is responsible for pest control when renting is a tricky task. Often, conflicts arise between landlords and tenants when determining who is responsible for paying for the service. In Australia, the responsibility is down to interpretation and what kind of pest is infesting the property. Usually, if a tenant has pets, then pests like fleas become the tenant’s responsibility. However, if moving into a home and you find that the property is infested with rats, mice or termites, then it’s often the landlord who must pay for extermination or removal services.

We understand that timing can be an important factor as you may think that pest control can be an inconvenience to your daily routine. At Tom’s Pest Control, the duration of our treatments is dependent on individual cases. While a regular pest infestation treatment may take up to 30 minutes, pest control with an active infestation may take an hour or longer. Hence, after an inspection of your property and an assessment of the infestation issue, we’ll be able to estimate how long the treatment may take. For more information on timing and services, contact us today.

General pest control in Adelaide can last months, however, one treatment does not guarantee a lifetime of defence from these pests. Instead, it’s important that treatments are done regularly. At Tom’s Pest Control, we recommend quarterly scheduled visits to ensure your property is protected all year round. However, the effects of pest control are also dependent on what kind of pest we’re dealing with. For more information on our pest control services, contact our team today.

It’s not uncommon to see a pest after a treatment. Pest control products can take some time to fully affect the pests. In fact, you may see more pests immediately after treatment as they are driven out from their hiding places. However, if you continue to notice pests several days or weeks after treatment, it could indicate that the infestation was larger than initially thought, or that they have become resistant to the treatment used. In such cases, it’s recommended to contact Tom’s Pest Control for a follow-up visit or a different treatment plan.

While there’s long been a myth that pest control isn’t safe for pets, it’s possible to successfully deal with pests without posing health risks to your pets. When we treat a property, we advise all people and pets to vacate for 2 hours afterwards, then it’s fine to come back in, everything will have dried and settled. In fact, our professional pest control is considered much safer than do-it-yourself methods, which often involve chemicals that can be harmful if not used correctly.
