FAQ

Less Pest More Control provides pest control services across various areas in the Gold Coast, including Logan. We also extend our services to the Tweed Coast, specifically in regions such as Banora Point, Bilambil Heights, Terranora and more.

The frequency of pest control services depends on your specific situation. However, for general pest control for Cockroaches, Ants, Silverfish and webbing spiders we recommend professional pest control services once a year. More frequent services may be necessary for severe or persistent infestations and based on the environment surroundings.

The type of pests LessPest More Control handles are; cockroaches, ants, silverfish and webbing spiders (standard pest control service). We also offer specialised pest services such as, Rodents, Wasps, lawn ants, German Cockroaches and fleas.

Once you have booked in, we issue you with pest control care advice to prepare your home for the best pest control application by our qualified and insured technicians. Onsite, the technician will treat the home internally and externally with an odourless mist. For safe practice and the environment dusting is used as a last resort and only if needed.

Following the pest control application we issue an after service notice via email of what to look out for in regards to pests. It’s normal after pest control to experience what is called a “die off period.” This is where creepy crawlies will start to die out in the open, having come into contact with the pest application. As long as you are seeing dead or dying pests, then this is a sign your pest control is working.

In short, most customers on the Gold Coast go either when they start to see too many creepy crawlies, so yearly to two yearly or bi-annually and yearly if they are scared of pests. Sometimes pest control is needed more regularly if you are located in bushland, by rivers and canals or your home has a lot of foliage around it; this will attract pests.

If the internal spray is holding up well, some of our customers love to just get a bi-annual external spray. At Less Pest More Control our technicians will always work with your values around pest control, the environment and what will get you the best result. Together we come up with a Pest Control plan that best suits you, your home, family and pets.

The pesticides we use at LessPest are safe to us and our pets after they dry. Permethrin is the common ingredient that is used in our treatments by us at LessPest. Permethrin is one of a large class known as pyrethroids that are derived from plants.

The spray that we use at LessPest is designed to not leave a stain when mixed at the correct rate and applied to the Australian Standards.At LestPest we treat the internal perimeter to the point of run off, this is where pests enter the home and forage as they feel safer with walls on one side of them.

It is not mandatory but highly recommended, especially if you are purchasing a home from the auction. By having a building and pest inspection it gives you the buyer an opportunity to see how sounds the structure is and whether you can afford any going maintenance. Having a building and pest inspection can sometimes give you an opportunity to possibly negotiate on some issues that may have come up in the reports by the building and pest inspector.

Each inspector should take 1.5 hours to 2 hours depending on the size of the house and how many structures are on the property. If it is a combined building & pest inspector they should be taking on average 3 hours to complete both.

Building and Pest are two separate inspections where each inspector is licensed in their own field to look at relevant issues. Commonly they both start on the whole external fence line then move to check around the external face of the building where termite inspectors check for termite entry points.

They then move to the internal of the structure, going through the property room by room checking walls, floors, boards, ceilings, leaks, plumbing, fixtures, fittings and roof void and sub floor if there is one. The termite inspector will tap every bit of timber with a sounding device, checking for soft or hollow timber & movement on the wall, if any of these signs come up an invasive inspection will be recommended. Inspectors also investigate the roof space for insulation, framing & brackets.
