Your Pest Control Questions Answered
Knowing what to expect makes dealing with a pest problem easier. Here are some common questions customers ask Warren at Smyth Pest Control. Select a question to read the answer.
How many visits will I need?
The number of visits depends on the pest, the extent of the problem and the property. Some treatments may require one visit, while others need follow-up treatment or monitoring. Warren will explain the recommended approach and what your quotation includes.
Do I need to prepare before you arrive?
Preparation depends on the treatment. You may need to clear access to affected areas, move items or carry out cleaning beforehand. We’ll explain what is needed for your appointment, so you can prepare properly.
What if I have children or pets?
Please tell Warren about children, pets and any particular concerns when booking. He will explain the precautions required for the proposed treatment, including whether anyone needs to leave the treated area and when they can return. Always follow the instructions provided for your treatment.
How quickly will the treatment work?
Results vary depending on the pest and the treatment used. Some problems improve quickly; others take longer and need monitoring or further visits. Warren will explain what to expect and which signs of continuing activity you should report.
Can you help prevent the problem returning?
We look for factors that may contribute to the infestation, such as entry points, food sources or places where pests can shelter. Where appropriate, we recommend proofing, cleaning, storage changes or further investigation.
What happens after treatment?
We explain the relevant aftercare, including any restrictions on cleaning or using treated areas. Follow the written instructions and contact Warren if you are unsure about anything or notice continuing activity.
Can drains be the source of a rat problem?
Drain defects or openings can sometimes provide rats with a route into a building. Where a drainage issue is suspected, a CCTV drain survey can help investigate accessible pipework and identify possible entry routes. Warren will explain the findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
How do I get a quotation?
Contact Warren with your location, the pest or problem you have noticed, and where the activity is occurring. Photographs can be helpful. We’ll discuss the next steps and explain whether a site inspection is needed before providing a quotation.
