Dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister immediately after.<\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"cl-item\"><div class=\"cl-ic\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\"><polyline points=\"20 6 9 17 4 12\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"cl-txt\"><strong>Confirm subfloor and roof void access.<\/strong> If the property has a subfloor, identify the access hatch location. If there is a roof void, ensure the manhole cover is accessible. These zones receive treatment during a full general pest program and need to be open for the technician without delay.<\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <h2>During Treatment: What the Technician Does<\/h2>\n    <p>A standard general pest treatment follows a consistent sequence. The technician first completes a full inspection of internal and external areas, noting pest activity, harborage sites, and conducive conditions. Treatment then proceeds zone by zone: kitchen (gel bait in harbourage zones), bathrooms and laundry (spray to wall junctions and pipe penetrations), internal perimeter (skirting boards and wall junctions throughout), subfloor (dust or spray to framing timbers), roof void (dust application), and external perimeter (heavier residual spray to paths, garden edges, and weep holes).<\/p>\n    <p>For a standard 3-4 bedroom Brisbane house with subfloor and roof void access, this takes 45-90 minutes. A unit without subfloor access takes 30-45 minutes. Termite inspections take 90-120 minutes and are a separate service. You do not need to follow the technician around; let them work through the property methodically. A service report documenting products used, application areas, and warranty start date is provided on completion.<\/p>\n\n    <h2>Re-Entry Times<\/h2>\n    <p>Re-entry times vary by treatment type. The standard guidance for a Brisbane general pest treatment is 2-4 hours after treatment for internal surfaces to dry before allowing children and pets back into the space. This is not a safety issue for adults who re-enter sooner but is the recommended period for children who may contact treated floor-level surfaces.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"tbl-wrap\">\n      <table class=\"re-table\">\n        <thead><tr><th>Treatment type<\/th><th>Re-entry time<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n        <tbody>\n          <tr><td class=\"hi\">General pest spray (internal)<\/td><td class=\"g\">2-4 hours<\/td><td>Until surfaces dry.

Wipe benchtops and food preparation surfaces before use. Keep the service report in a safe place: it documents your warranty start date and is needed for bond disputes if you are a rental tenant. Contact the operator within the warranty period (typically 90 days) if the treated pest returns at problem levels.<\/p>\n    <h3>Do not<\/h3>\n    <p>Do not clean skirting boards, wall junctions, or other spray-treated surfaces for at least 2 weeks. These surfaces carry the residual spray that provides ongoing kill activity; cleaning them removes the product and shortens treatment effectiveness significantly. Do not pressure wash external treated surfaces for at least 4 weeks. Do not apply retail insecticide sprays over professionally-treated areas, as this can repel pests from bait placements and reduce overall treatment effectiveness.<\/p>\n    <h3>Seeing dead pests is normal<\/h3>\n    <p>Increased pest activity and dead pest sightings in the 1-2 weeks after treatment is normal and expected. This is the product working: pests are emerging from harborage zones, contacting the treated surface, and dying. Activity should reduce progressively over the first 2 weeks. If activity is still at pre-treatment levels after 3-4 weeks, contact the operator for a warranty re-treatment assessment.<\/p>\n\n    <h2>Pet and Child Safety<\/h2>\n    <p>All products used by licensed pest control operators are APVMA-approved and tested for safety at label application rates. The re-entry period of 2-4 hours is the conservative standard for treated surfaces to dry before child and pet contact. Modern professional products are formulated to be safe for children and pets after surfaces dry, with targeted application to wall junctions and harbourage zones rather than broadcast application to open surfaces.<\/p>\n    <p>If you have specific concerns about product sensitivity, ask about <a href=\"https:\/\/responsepestcontrol.com.au\/services\/treatment-methods\/child-pet-safe\/\">child and pet safe treatment options<\/a> when booking. Low-odour water-based formulations and gel-bait-only programs are available for households with infants, medically sensitive occupants, or specific chemical sensitivities.
