Our General Pest Treatment targets the most common household invaders including Cockroaches, Mosquitoes, Flies, Ants, Webbing Spiders, Silverfish, Earwigs, and most crawling insects. We also address outdoor perimeter pests that try to make their way inside. If you're dealing with something specific like German Cockraoches, Rodents, Ants or Bed bugs, we've got specialised treatments for those too - just let us know what you're seeing and we'll sort it out properly.

Our treatment covers both indoor and outdoor areas. We target key areas that typically have the greatest density of pest activity such as wet areas; like your kitchens, laundry and bathroom, your access areas around the perimeter of your house, and in your garage spaces. We also inspect and treat, roof voids (where accessible), and subfloor areas if needed. You'll get a detailed treatment report showing exactly what we've done and our recommendations for keeping pests away long-term.

For most Sydney homes, we recommend treatment frequency ranges from every 6-12 months depending on your property's pest pressure and surrounding environment. Properties near bushland or with previous pest issues might benefit from treatments every 3-6 months, while well-maintained homes in less pest-prone areas can often go 12 months between treatments. We'll give you honest advice based on what we see during your service. At Home Shield we value transparency above all else, so our clients can rest assured they're getting honest and sincere advice every time we service your dwelling.

Absolutely! Family safety is our top priority, which is why we use low-toxicity, targeted treatments that are tough on pests but gentle on your loved ones. Most of our products allow your family and pets back into treated areas within 2-4 hours once surfaces are dry. We'll walk you through exactly what we're using and any precautions specific to your situation - no surprises, just straight answers.

No, our general pest treatment doesn't cover termites. Termites require specialised detection equipment, targeted treatment methods, and specific products that are completely different from standard pest control. Termites are timber destroyers, not just household pests, so they require an entirely different approach.

Within the first 36-72 hours you'll notice a significant reduction in pest activity inside and outside of your dwelling, with full effectiveness kicking in over the following week. Here's the thing however - it might seem as if there are more pests after we have treated your house, this is because as our treatment begins to work, pests become flushed out of their hiding spots. If you're still seeing issues after two weeks, give us a ring.

Great question! While DIY products might knock down what you can see, but our specialty is in exterminating what you can't see, which often are the most dangerous pests. Our professional-grade treatments target the entire pest population including hidden breeding areas. We use products that aren't available to the public, applied with precision equipment at proper concentrations. Plus, you get our expertise in identifying problem areas and entry points that store-bought sprays can't address. It's the difference between a quick fix and a lasting solution.
