Once the colony has been cleared, a treated lawn can typically remain mound-free for around six to twelve months. However, properties with sandy soil or those backing onto reserves and nature strips may see new colonies appear sooner. Ben recommends a check each spring before funnel ant activity increases during the warmer months.

Keeping your lawn healthy and well-watered can help reduce bare patches where funnel ants may establish. Avoid allowing the soil to become excessively dry or cracked, and keep food scraps and organic debris away from garden edges. As funnel ants can also spread from neighbouring properties, Ben recommends an annual spring treatment to help identify and control new colonies before they become established.

Effective cockroach control usually involves a combination of targeted treatments, including gel baits, insecticide applications, bait stations and monitoring traps. Ben will assess the property and level of cockroach activity before choosing the most suitable treatment to help achieve effective, long-lasting control.

Results can vary depending on the type of spider, the level of activity and the treatment required. In many cases, a noticeable reduction in spider activity can occur within a few days to a week. Larger or more established problems may take longer to fully control. Ben can recommend follow-up treatments where needed to help maintain long-term spider control.

Rodents can create both health and property risks. They can contaminate food and surfaces, spread bacteria and diseases, and carry parasites. Rodents may also chew through electrical wiring, pipes and other materials, potentially causing costly damage and creating fire hazards. Ben can assess the signs of rodent activity and recommend the appropriate treatment and prevention measures.

Common signs include seeing ants regularly inside your home, ant trails along walls or windows, nests or soil mounds around the property, and ants gathering around food or moisture. Ben can inspect the property to identify where the ants are coming from and recommend the right treatment.

The time required depends on the ant species, colony size and where the nest is located. Ben will assess the activity and use a targeted treatment designed to control the colony and reduce the chance of ants returning.
