  • How can I prepare for a German cockroach pest spray
    Preparing for Your Cockroach Treatment with Non Stop Pest Management To ensure effective cockroach control, maintaining a high level of sanitation is crucial. We recommend following these steps before our arrival to achieve the best treatment results and prevent re-infestations: **Before Your Cockroach Treatment:** - **Thoroughly Clean the Kitchen**: This includes the floor, oven, range hood, and countertops. - **Empty Cupboards and Drawers**: Clear out all items and clean the surfaces with a multipurpose spray. Make sure to cover any items that you remove for the treatment. - **Dispose of Garbage**: Remove any trash from the kitchen and clean both the interior and exterior of your bin. - **Remove Pets**: Ensure pets are out of the kitchen area during the treatment. **What to Expect from Your Treatment:** Your technician will apply a variety of pest control products—such as dust repellents, liquid baits, gel baits, and sticky traps—to known cockroach harboring areas. These locations are typically out of everyday reach, including wall voids, cupboard hinges, plumbing recesses, and behind appliances. While all products used are safe and approved for use in domestic and commercial kitchens, it’s advisable to stay out of the immediate vicinity during treatment. This allows the products time to dry and settle, while also providing a safe working environment for your technician. **Post-Treatment Expectations:** After your treatment, you may notice an increase in cockroach activity for the first 24 hours. This is normal as cockroaches are flushed out from their hiding spots. Any cockroaches you see during this time will have been affected by the treatment and should die shortly thereafter. Please allow at least 21 days for all cockroach activity to cease. **Follow-Up Appointment:** In cases of heavy infestation, you may require a follow-up appointment if you notice: - Cockroaches in non-food handling areas - Daytime sightings of cockroaches - Excessive cockroach activity and droppings Your technician will assess the situation on the day of your service and inform you if a follow-up is necessary, which will be scheduled for 2-3 weeks later. There is a charge for the follow-up appointment, but it is generally less than the initial treatment due to its shorter duration. Please note that a warranty will only be provided once both treatments have been completed. Thank you for your cooperation! We look forward to serving you and ensuring your space is cockroach-free!
  • How can I prepare for a general pest spray?
    When you schedule a General Pest Service with Non Stop Pest Management, you can expect a thorough and professional treatment for your property. Our fully trained and licensed technicians will carefully apply pest control products throughout your entire space. This includes dusting in the roof and sub-floor areas, as well as a comprehensive internal and external spray. We cover all key areas, such as window frames, doorframes, cavities, fence lines, garages, sheds, and outbuildings. Depending on the size of your property, this service typically takes about 1.25 to 1.5 hours. Our General Pest Service is designed to protect your home or business from a variety of common pests, including cockroaches, spiders, ants, and silverfish. If you’re dealing with a live German cockroach infestation, we may recommend a specialized service tailored to target this issue. For our German Cockroach Service, we focus on high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Our four-step treatment process includes: Dust Application: We treat hard-to-reach areas such as fridge motors and behind kickboards. Non-Repellant Spray: This creates an effective barrier against pests. Gel Bait: We apply this around cupboard hinges and the base of appliances to attract and eliminate cockroaches. Pesticide-Free Sticky Monitor Traps: These help track and assess the infestation. This targeted service usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes. If we find a significant infestation during the initial service, our technician may recommend a follow-up treatment, which would be scheduled for about three weeks later and is a paid service. At Non Stop Pest Management, we’re committed to providing effective pest control solutions tailored to your needs!
  • How can I prepare for a flea treatment?
    To ensure the most effective flea treatment, it’s important to prepare your home beforehand. Please follow these steps prior to our arrival: **Before Your Flea Treatment:** - **Vacuum Daily**: Thoroughly vacuum all floors, carpets, and furniture, especially in areas where pets rest. Remember to seal and discard the vacuum bag immediately after use. For hardwood or tile floors, a good mopping is also recommended. - **Cover Food and Utensils**: Ensure that exposed food and kitchen utensils are either covered or removed from the treatment area. - **Remove Pets**: Take pets out of the treatment area and cover any aquariums. - **Wash Pet Bedding**: Clean all pet bedding using the hottest setting on your washer and dry it on the highest allowable heat. - **Vet Treatment**: Treat dogs and cats with a vet-approved flea control product the day before your scheduled treatment. - **Clear Outdoor Areas**: Remove toys, food bowls, and other items from shaded outdoor spaces where pets rest. **What to Expect from Your Treatment:** During your flea treatment, our products contain two active components for maximum effectiveness: 1. **Pesticide**: This kills adult fleas and developing fleas (larval stage) on contact. 2. **Insect Growth Regulator**: This specifically targets larval stage fleas, disrupting their life cycle and preventing them from maturing into adults. The treatment may take up to 1.5 hours, depending on the size of your home. During this time, you’ll need to vacate the premises. After treatment, please allow at least 2 hours for the product to dry before re-entering. We focus the treatment around skirting boards, cracks, crevices, and undisturbed areas beneath furniture, where fleas are most likely to hide. **Post-Treatment Expectations:** You should see an immediate reduction in adult flea activity following the treatment. However, it’s normal to spot some adult fleas within 7-14 days post-treatment. These fleas were in the pre-adult (pupal) stage when we treated your home and hadn’t yet made contact with the product. Once they emerge from the pupal stage, they will die within hours of contacting the pesticide residue. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled three weeks after your initial treatment. In the meantime, continue to vacuum regularly to eliminate any surviving fleas. If you follow all our recommendations, you will be covered by our 6-month warranty after the second treatment. Thank you for your cooperation! We look forward to helping you achieve a flea-free home!

  • Are your products safe for Children and Pets?
    Our Commitment to Safety at Non Stop Pest Management At Non Stop Pest Management, we prioritize safety and effectiveness in all our pest control services. We exclusively use pest control products approved by the Australian Environmental Pest Management Association, ensuring they are safe for sensitive environments such as schools, hospitals, aged care facilities, and food-handling premises. For services that involve applying pesticides in spray form, we kindly ask that children, pregnant individuals, and pets remain off-site or be removed from the treated areas during the service and for about 1.5 hours afterward. This allows time for the products to dry properly. Rest assured, our products are both odourless and colourless, so once they’ve dried, you can return to your normal activities without any concerns. Your safety is our top priority!

1. How long do I need to stay out of my home after spraying?

 

Most pest control treatments require you to stay out for 2-4 hours to allow the spray to dry and ensure proper ventilation. Always follow the specific instructions given by your pest control professional.

 

2. Will I see pests immediately after treatment?

 

Yes, it’s normal to see increased pest activity for a few days to a couple of weeks after treatment. The spray agitates pests, driving them out of hiding before they die.

 

3. How long does it take for the treatment to work?

 

You may notice reduced pest activity within a few days, but it could take 1-2 weeks for the full effect, depending on the type of pest and infestation severity.

 

4. Do I need to clean my house after the treatment?

 

Avoid mopping or wiping treated surfaces for at least 7-10 days to allow the spray to work effectively. You can clean other areas as needed, but confirm with your pest control provider.

 

5. Is the spray safe for children and pets?

 

Modern pest control treatments are designed to be safe when applied correctly. Ensure children and pets are kept away from treated areas until the spray has dried completely, and follow any additional precautions provided by your technician.

 

6. What should I do if I still see pests after a few weeks?

 

It’s normal to see occasional pests even after treatment, as the chemicals have residual effects. If you still notice significant activity after 2-3 weeks, contact your pest control company for a follow-up.

 

7. Will the spray damage my furniture or belongings?

 

Most pest control sprays are formulated not to stain or damage common household surfaces. However, technicians typically avoid spraying sensitive areas like electronics, fabrics, or food-preparation surfaces.

 

8. How can I help maintain the treatment’s effectiveness?

 

Seal cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors. Keep your home clean and free of food crumbs. Store food in airtight containers. Remove clutter to reduce pest hiding spots.

 

9. How often should I schedule pest control treatments?

 

This depends on the type of pests and your location. For general prevention, quarterly treatments are common. Severe infestations may require more frequent follow-ups

 

.10. What should I do if I or someone in my household has a reaction to the spray?

 

Reactions are rare but possible. If anyone experiences symptoms like skin irritation, difficulty breathing, or nausea, contact a medical professional immediately and inform your pest control company.If you have additional questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact your pest control provider for clarification!
