Reviews
Why do you need a maintenance service instead of just a one-time treatment?
To maximize the safety of our users most pest control products used in Australia are biodegradable which means the products break down over time making them safer for everyone in the household. Also, NSW being a green leafy city provides the perfect conditions for insects to reproduce especially during the warmer season. (Read: HOW TO GET RID OF BED BUGS)
