Frequently Asked Questions
What are some signs of Termite infestation? You may see a pellet-like droppings or flying insects that resemble ants near windows, especially in Spring and Summer or during warm weather spells.
Will we need to vacate the premises for treatments? In most cases, no. For flea and tick infestations, we may need you to leave for a couple of hours during and after the process.
Do you offer Environmental Services? Absolutely. Great Western offers Environmental Pest Control Services. We understand the need for consumers’ choices that are practical, yet safe and effective. All our materials are EPA approved.
Why did bees choose my home, trees or bush?
Bees will hive in anything that has volume/space protected from the elements. After extraction, straggler bees may remain up to one week.
How soon can you respond to a Bee emergency?
Swarms can be removed within 59 minutes or less, in most cases. Structural removals need to be estimated and a written approval received from the owner or property management company before work is begun.
Do I need to empty my kitchen cupboards for ants or cockroach infestations?
No, it's not necessary to empty cupboards as we apply a gel to areas where cockroaches nest or harbour. No liquid sprays are applied to these areas.
Will I see cockroaches, spiders or ants after the treatment?
Yes, it's possible that insects may wonder in from outside. Chances are that they will have crossed treated areas and will die shortly after.
Is my cat / dog safe?
There is no concern to the safety of animals since the amount of active constituent that they may take in, either by contact while it's wet or by ingesting it orally, is very small.
What do I need to do prior to the Pest Control treatment?
Access to room edges is necessary to treat along skirtings. Therefore clothing articles, magazines, toys etc. should be moved off the ground. All food items should be cleared from bench and table tops.
Will the spray you use stain my carpet?
No, the products we use do not stain. It's a water based residual spray that doesn't contain strong solvents which might affect coloring or finishes.
