Amalgamated Pest Control

What about natural pest control?

All pesticides have natural origins. The most commonly used are the pyrethroids, extracted from certain types of flowers. Today, we typically use man-made versions of these pesticides in the majority of our treatments.

Is pest control environmentally friendly?

At Amalgamated Pest Control we believe it's our responsibility to help protect the environment while providing effective pest control services to our clients. We are an active member of the AEPMA, (Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association), who maintain a rigorous 'Code of Ethics' protecting health, food, property and the environment. The products we use are scientifically tested and designed to have no adverse affects on your health and minimal impact on the natural environment.

My home is clean, why do I still have pests?

Just like you, pests need food, shelter and water and are determined to find it no matter how clean your home is. Other pests such as bed bugs and fleas are hitchhikers and live in search of a blood meal that people and pets unwittingly provide. Your pest control technician can advise you on effective steps you can take to minimise or eliminate pests from your property such as removing their food sources and sealing gaps in window frames and doors and trimming trees.

What should I do if I see a pest and don't know what it is?

Some pests appear innocent while others are highly aggressive & can strike with nasty consequences. It is best to stay away from certain pests & don't spray them with chemicals as this can make them aggressive, resulting in a painful sting or bite. If you suffer a sting or bite, follow these steps: 1. Wash with soap & water and apply an antiseptic if available. 2. Apply a cold pack to reduce local pain & swelling. 3. If the victim suffers allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, - call 000.

What happens if I have asthma or I'm allergic or sensitive to chemicals?

The safety of you and your family and is our top priority. Depending on the pest, there may be a range of different techniques we can use to control pests. These include the placement of products in out of the way places, environmental corrections and non-chemical products. If you or any member of your family suffers from asthma or is sensitive to chemicals, please lets us know and we will tailor a solution to suit your situation and needs.

What should I do if I find termites at my property?

The sight of termites at your property is a worrying experience. If you notice termite activity at your property, follow these steps: Don't disturb them and if possible try to put things back the way they were. Don't try to spray them or use chemicals on them. This will have a very limited affect, and can scare them off for a while making it a lot more difficult for an expert to help you assess the situation. Contact us to arrange an inspection by qualified termite pest expert.

Where do you treat for pests?

This depends on the type of pest. We focus our treatments on the places that pests live, breed and hide. In the majority of cases, internal treatments are kept well away from contact with you. If you have any concerns, speak with your pest control technician before we commence work at your property. Your technician will address any concerns and modify the treatment for your situation and peace of mind.

Do I need to empty my kitchen cupboards?

Typically, the only thing we ask you to remove and cover are open food packets. Our techniques are carefully designed to target specific areas and we use special covers where required. If you have any concerns, speak with our team when you make your booking and we advise you on other alternatives to take for your peace of mind.

How often should I have pest control done?

We recommend that you have a pest inspection every 12 months. This will give you peace of mind that your property and your family are protected. If you notice a pest infestation at your property, contact your pest controller before it becomes an issue. Prevention is always better than cure and typically damage caused by pests is not covered by your home insurance.

Is Pest Control Safe? What about infants, children and pregnant Mums?

Yes. Not all pest control treatments use pesticides and sprays. Depending on the pest and your circumstances, we can use methods that include physical changes to the environment and trapping. When we do use pesticides we select formulations and baits with the lowest toxicity available and apply these products where pests breed and live. This avoids unnecessary application of these products and minimises any impact to you, your family and your pets.
