General Pest Treatments
Cockroaches, Spiders, Ants? Then a General Pest Treatment may be the best option for you.
Initial Assessment & Treatment Guide
Our general pest treatment covers common household pests including all types of cockroaches, ants, and webbing spiders. The process begins with a thorough assessment by our technician, who evaluates your property's specific pest control needs. In some cases, an aerosol spray is used to flush out pests, enabling a more targeted treatment approach.
Please note, this is a general guide and not limited to the pests listed. Each property is unique, and treatments are tailored accordingly to ensure effective, long-lasting results. We customize our approach based on the level of infestation, layout, and conditions to provide the best possible protection for your home or business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pests are covered in a general pest treatment?
A general pest treatment is designed to target the most common household pests like cockroaches, ants, and webbing spiders, plus other nuisance pests depending on what’s active at your property. If you’ve got a specific pest problem, you can also view our targeted services for ants, spiders, cockroaches, rodents, fleas, bed bugs, and more.
What’s included in a general pest treatment?
General pest treatments include an initial inspection, then a combination of targeted applications such as a low-odour residual spray, dusting into cracks/voids where appropriate, and gel baits (commonly for cockroaches and ants). The exact method depends on pest pressure and the layout of your home.
Preparing for your General Pest Treatment
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
Mr Pesty uses APVMA-approved products and applies them in a controlled way to minimise exposure and maximise effectiveness. We’ll talk you through any precautions (like keeping pets away from treated areas until dry) and what to do on the day.
Book a Call (for questions about your household).
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
In many cases, you can stay home during a general pest service, but you may need to keep out of specific areas while we treat and allow surfaces to dry. We’ll advise you clearly before we start.
What should I do after the treatment to get the best results?
For best results: avoid washing treated surfaces straight away (where applicable), keep food stored, reduce clutter, seal cracks, and stay on top of bins and pet food areas. If you’re still seeing activity, it may indicate a nesting issue (common with ants and cockroaches) that needs a targeted follow-up.
