approximately up to 60 minutes for a thorough inspection, depending
on the size and conditions of the home and property.
The inspection includes the external, internal,
roof and subfloor where pests can access your property. They provide
a comprehensive written report in accordance with Australian
Standards and not just a ‘Termite Check’. Chemicals used are
products registered for use and are safe to people pets and the
environment. There are various categories of pesticides and
termiticides. Each category has many active ingredients listed in
them. Too many to list and some are not preferred by Cairns Pest
Control.
Some fear the chemical used as it can lead to anti-reaction in humans and the respective crop, but Australian pest control companies always claim that Danger is absent when around these chemicals. The technician will assess the situation and advise of risks and instructs you what to do. Having to vacate is extremely rare and only for a short period of time. There are many chemicals and baits that are used. It would take considerable hours to describe all of the products used.
