How do you protect the environment during pest control treatments?
Environmental responsibility is core to our operations. We use eco-friendly products and sustainable pest management practices that minimize impact on beneficial insects, wildlife, and the ecosystem.
Our treatments are precisely targeted to affected areas only, reducing unnecessary chemical use. We also focus on prevention strategies and habitat modification to reduce the need for ongoing treatments, supporting long-term environmental health.
What should I do to prepare my property before treatment?
Preparation requirements vary depending on the type of treatment. Generally, we recommend removing food items from areas to be treated, ensuring access to all areas requiring treatment, and temporarily relocating pets if necessary.
Our technicians will provide specific preparation instructions when booking your service. For most treatments, minimal preparation is required, and we'll guide you through everything needed to ensure safe and effective treatment.

T47 Pest Control handles all common Australian pests including ants, cockroaches, spiders, termites, wasps, bees, flies, mosquitoes, fleas, bed bugs, rodents (mice and rats), possums, and moths. We also provide specialized services for less common pests.
Our technicians are trained in the identification and control of Australian pest species, understanding their behavior patterns and the most effective treatment methods for each type of pest.
How long does a typical pest control treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on property size, pest type, and infestation severity. Most residential treatments take 1-3 hours, while commercial properties may require longer depending on size and complexity.

How can I tell if I have a termite problem?
Common signs of termite activity include mud tubes on walls or foundations, hollow-sounding timber when tapped, discarded wings near windows or doors, and visible damage to wooden structures.
You might also notice small holes in walls, sagging floors or ceilings, or a musty odor in affected areas. If you suspect termite activity, it's crucial to have a professional inspection immediately, as termites can cause significant structural damage quickly.
What attracts pests to my property?
Pests are typically attracted by food sources, water, and shelter. Common attractants include food scraps, pet food, standing water, moisture problems, cracks and gaps in structures, and overgrown vegetation.
Poor sanitation, cluttered areas, and entry points like gaps under doors or around windows also invite pest problems. Our technicians can identify and help you address these attractants as part of our comprehensive pest management approach.
Are Australian spiders dangerous, and how do you handle them?
While most Australian spiders are harmless, some species like funnel-web spiders and redback spiders can be dangerous. Our technicians are trained to identify dangerous species and use appropriate safety measures during treatment.
We use targeted treatments that effectively control spider populations while being safe for your family. If you encounter a potentially dangerous spider, avoid contact and call us immediately for safe removal and treatment.
How do you prevent pest problems from recurring?
Prevention involves a combination of professional treatments and ongoing maintenance. We seal entry points, eliminate food and water sources, and apply preventive treatments to create barriers against pest intrusion.
We also provide detailed advice on maintaining a pest-free environment, including proper sanitation practices, moisture control, and landscape management. Regular inspections and maintenance treatments help ensure long-term protection.
