A general pest control visit suits a Ballarat home with a mix of pests rather than one big problem: spiders on the verandah and under the eaves, ants on the bench in summer, a few cockroaches under the sink. The tech treats the outside first, working the subfloor or slab edge, weep holes, eaves, gutters, window surrounds, the verandah and the garage, then moves inside to the kitchen, laundry, bathrooms and the roof void access. Cockroach work inside is gel bait, so there is no smell and nothing to empty out.
Most Ballarat homes settle with a spring visit each year for the warm-weather pests, with the rodent side handled as a separate program from March. Heritage homes with subfloors and cellars usually need those covered as part of a general visit, and the brick estates in Alfredton, Lucas and Delacombe are mostly a slab-edge and kitchen job. We tell you honestly what interval makes sense for your place rather than selling a plan you do not need.
