SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT PESTS
-
Regular Propest pest control treatments are necessary to keep pests out of your home or business. Most pest control products on the market are designed to last around a maximum of 45-60 days, and should be periodically reapplied in order to create a protective barrier around the exterior of your property. Also, pests can be extremely adaptive and resilient to pest control products and therefore require frequent applications to control a pest problem. We recommend treatment services between 1-3 months – depending on the nature of the invasive species in order to keep your property safe, secure and hygienic.

-
The pest industry products used by Propest technicians here in New Zealand have undergone rigorous research, development and testing first at the manufacturer level, then at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and finally, in many cases through World Health Organisation and other international bodies. All Propest technicians have the required licences to handle these products and a wide range of regular training on their safe and appropriate use, is provided.
-
It is important to have an educated understanding of, and conservative respect for the pest control products that are applied in and around your home. In most cases, a person or pet should stay out the treated area until the pest control solution is dry. Propest recommends 2-4 hours stand down until it is safe to re-enter the property. The Propest pest control technician will provide you with a detailed service report that states the name of each product used, as well as where it was applied and when it is safe to re enter. If you ever have any questions about a specific product we used, please reach out to us so that labels and material data safety sheets can be provided.
-
A green or organic pest control treatment is any treatment that uses a naturally occurring, non-synthetically altered or enhanced pesticide. These products are usually botanical, and they have proven to be quite effective overall. However, they do sometimes lack the residual power of synthetic versions that have been created by scientists in laboratories.
-
Pesticides are chemicals that may be used to kill fungus, bacteria, insects, plant diseases, snails, slugs, or weeds among others. These chemicals can work by ingestion or by touch and death may occur immediately or over a long period of time.
Insecticides are a type of pesticide that is used to specifically target and kill insects. Some insecticides include snail bait, ant killer, and wasp killer.
Herbicides are used to kill undesirable plants or “weeds”. Some herbicides will kill all the plants they touch, while others are designed to target one species.
