Every property is different. Any treatment, access requirements and follow-up recommendations are discussed for the individual job before work proceeds.

The following is general educational information. Pest species, site conditions and suitable treatment methods vary, so property-specific recommendations should follow an inspection.
Germs can live on surfaces for up to one week.
Discovering a silverfish infestation in your home can result in significant property damage, leading to costly repairs or replacements, as well as potential illness from consuming contaminated food. If you detect a silverfish infestation, it is essential to seek professional control and removal services to minimise damage and disruption.
We know how crucial it is in these times to maintain very high levels of sanitisation and use the best products in our work. We use a specialised disinfectant fogging system that helps curb the contamination from viruses and germs to a significant degree.
Many of our clients call in asking about whether this service will help keep their premises protected against COVID-19.

Seal all your foods in airtight containers
Female silverfish have the capacity to lay anywhere from 2 to 20 eggs daily, with the exact number depending on the species. They are capable of laying eggs throughout the year, and it typically takes 3 to 4 months for the eggs to develop from larvae to mature adults. Some places that silverfish will most likely hide are:
We also use the latest sanitisation system that helps to prevent the spread of germs, which can be an underlying cause for the current coronavirus spread. Our company offers a comprehensive decontamination treatment in various areas where Covid-19 positive cases have been found.
The equipment that we use emits an aerosol mist that leaves behind an invisible antimicrobial layer. This effectively adheres to various surfaces and helps sanitise and disinfect them. We can apply this treatment to walls, common structures, floors, any high volume traffic areas and cross-ventilated spaces. It is one of the best ways to improve the confidence levels in your employees and staff members and make the work areas safer for them.
Our process begins by disinfecting all contact points using an antibacterial spray. We then utilise specialised equipment to release an aerosol mist, creating an invisible antimicrobial coating in every room.
The duration of the service varies based on the size of the space, typically ranging from 40 minutes to 2 hours.
