The licensed technician will ONLY use pest management agents and products that have been approved by the APVMA and registered for use within the applicable State or Territory, or under a Permit issued by the APVMA or State Authority.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of this pest management program may be compromised if you fail to implement the recommended hygiene procedures, such as altering the building or landscaping, or introducing materials that are conducive to or infested with pests.

Precautions to be Taken Before, During, and After Treatment

The following precautions must be taken by individuals to minimize exposure to any pesticide used for pest management activity:

s

Prior to commencement of work, individuals must inform us of any persons or pets on-site, allergies, or other health concerns. As a precaution, individuals who may be particularly sensitive or suffer from allergic reactions should remain off-premises for up to twenty-four (24) hours and not return until after the premises have been thoroughly ventilated. Air-conditioners should be left on ‘vent mode’ for at least four hours after the treatment or re-occupying to circulate outside air into the building.

s

If anyone suspects that they have come into contact with a treated area and have been affected, they should contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 and have this notice with them.

s

Food items and utensils for humans, pets, and animals should be covered before treatment, as directed.

s

During treatment, individuals must remove or protect any people, animals, birds, or fish. All pets and animals should be kept away from treated areas until dry, and any odour has cleared, as directed.

s

Clothing and items must be removed from the clothesline before treatment, as directed. Contact with treated surfaces should be avoided until the insecticide has dried, which could take three (3) to twenty-four (24) hours.

s

During external treatments, doors and windows should be closed, and they should remain closed until the odour has cleared, which can take up to twenty-four hours.

s

When gaining access to or working in the roof void or subfloor areas, overalls and gloves should be worn, and a respirator should be used to avoid contact with any insecticidal products. The overalls and gloves should be washed immediately and separated from other washing or disposed of as soon as practicable.

s

You must follow any verbal advice given by our firm or licensed technician during treatment.
