Frequently Asked Questions
How long do treatments usually last?
The length of effectiveness for pest control treatments can vary widely based on several factors including the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, the methods used, and environmental conditions. Here are some general timelines:
-
General Pest Control: For common pests like ants, cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish, treatments usually last from 2 to 3 months. Some advanced products or methods may provide protection for up to 6 months.
-
Termite Treatment: Termite treatments can last from a few years to more than five years, depending on the product used. For example, a termite baiting system requires regular monitoring and refilling of baits, but a chemical soil treatment might protect a home for several years.
-
Rodent Control: After the initial rodent population is eliminated (which might take a few days to a few weeks), preventive measures can keep rodents away indefinitely. However, without ongoing maintenance, new rodents can invade from surrounding areas at any time.
-
Bed Bug Treatment: Depending on the severity of the infestation and the treatment used, it may take several treatments over a few weeks to fully eliminate bed bugs. Once they’re gone, though, they don’t typically come back unless reintroduced from an outside source.
Regular follow-up inspections and treatments are often necessary to ensure a pest problem is fully resolved and to prevent re-infestation. It’s recommended to consult with a professional pest control service like WA Pest Consultants to determine a pest management plan that suits your specific situation.
-
Why are some pest control people more expensive then others?
The cost of pest control services can vary due to several factors, some of which include:
-
Experience and Reputation: Companies or individuals with a significant amount of experience or a particularly strong reputation in the field may charge more for their services.
-
Quality of Products: Higher quality pesticides and equipment can result in more effective treatments, but they also cost more. If a company uses premium products, they may charge more to cover these costs.
-
Comprehensive Services: Some pest control companies offer comprehensive services that include ongoing maintenance, inspections, and guarantees, which can increase the cost.
-
Location and Overhead Costs: Companies in urban areas or places with a higher cost of living may charge more due to increased overhead costs. Additionally, travel costs for more remote locations can increase prices.
-
Type and Severity of Infestation: Certain pests are more difficult to control than others, and severe infestations may require more resources to manage. Companies may charge more for these more complex situations.
-
Customized Solutions: Tailoring a pest control strategy to a specific situation can involve more time and resources, which can increase the cost.
-
Insurance and Licenses: Companies that carry extensive insurance or maintain multiple professional licenses may have higher operating costs that get passed onto customers.
It’s always recommended to obtain several quotes when looking for a pest control service. Price is just one factor to consider – the quality of work, safety practices, and customer service are equally, if not more, important. Consulting with a professional pest control service like WA Pest Consultants can help you understand what you’re paying for and ensure you receive effective treatment.

I've found a few termites on my property, should I be worried?
If termites are found in your home or property and no action is taken to control them, they can cause significant damage over time. Here’s what could potentially happen:
- Structural Damage: Termites feed on wood and can weaken the structural integrity of a building. This can lead to expensive repairs or even make a building unsafe to occupy if the infestation is allowed to progress for too long. Termite damage is not always visible on the surface, and by the time you notice it, substantial harm may have already been done.
- Decreased Property Value: If left untreated, a termite infestation can decrease the value of your property. Potential buyers usually require a pest inspection, and the presence of termites or termite damage can be a significant deterrent.
- Loss of Belongings: Termites don’t just eat structural wood. They can also damage furniture, books, and other belongings.
- Increased Infestation: Over time, a termite colony can grow larger and more destructive. What starts as a small problem can quickly become a large, more expensive one.
While DIY termite control options exist, they are often less effective than professional treatments and can be risky if not done correctly. Considering the extensive damage termites can cause, it’s usually a good idea to get professional help as soon as possible if you suspect a termite infestation.
In Western Australia, companies like WA Pest Consultants are experienced in handling termite problems and can provide a comprehensive solution, including detection, treatment, and ongoing management to prevent future infestations.
