It is not a spray. It is a fog generating
treatment, (see homepage) this machine (German made) converts chemicals into
fog and fog can travel into holes, cracks, crevices and ant's nests.
Also micro smoke particles (less than 5 micron) adhere to walls, ceilings and
building foundations. This treatment could be slightly expensive
but it is cost effective and will meet the clients
requirements. That is why we give one years guarantee.
What sort of chemical do you use?
It is pyrethroid, a man-made chemical which is similar to chemicals naturally occurring in plants (pyrethrums). It has properties of rapid action, low mammalian toxicity, repellence, broad spectrum, lack of persistence, residual and biodegradable.
It is totally
safe for warm blooded organism, once fog has settled.
For how long do I need to be out of the
premises?
Four hours in most instances.
What about my animals and birds etc?
They should temporarily be housed elsewhere as
they may become distressed while the smoke is in the air.
I have goldfish/aquarium. What should I
do with them?
The tank should be covered with several layers
of cloth.
What about a smoke alarm, or an
intruder alarm?
They must be deactivated or the security firm
informed.
Do I need to cover my furniture etc?
It is best not to cover surfaces such as furniture,
windows sills etc. This allows the fog to work where the insects are likely to
settle.
Food should be covered or placed in the
refrigerator and utensils must be covered with cloth etc.
What cleaning up do I need to do when I
re-enter the premises?
Flush off exposed eating utensils. Wipe surfaces such as the table and sink bench with a damp cloth. Other surfaces should not be wiped for a least four days after treatment to allow the fog to adhere. Most insects such as borers and flies go for the light, so it particularly important not to wipe windows sills immediately.
No need to re-wash clothing, sheets etc. after
treatment.
For how long does the treatment remain
effective?
The treatment is designed so that sunlight
slowly degrades it, but it does last for a few months depending on how much the
area gets.
I am asthmatic / under medication /
have a baby / pregnant - is there any effects on health?
Not at all.
Not at all. This is a fogging treatment and there is no possibility of
causing damage.
Are my indoor plants safe or do I have
to remove them?
They are fine where they are. There is no need
to cover them or move them.
What about my computer or other
machines like that?
We would suggest you cover them.
Yes please!!! Particularly baby and
toddler toys. Just cover with
sheets or any piece of cloth etc.
Should I open drawers, wardrobes and
Cupboards?
Yes, the reason is fog will enter and kill all
hiding pests.
What parts of the house do you treat?
Basement (under floor), attic,
and all rooms (interior).
Should I clean up / wash / repaint
surface before pest control treatment?
No, If you have any doubts and queries please ask.
How often should my house need to be
treated?
Preferably annually as maintenance measure.
How should I re-enter after inside
treatment?
First open the back doors and stay outside for
15-20 minutes so air can go through and ventilate. Now you can go inside and open all
windows and doors until odor has gone.
Usually two hours.

long?

further treatment within
