What To Do After Pest Control Sprays
Has your home been invaded by pests? Well, if you’ve booked in a treatment to eradicate them, you might be wondering what to do after pest control sprays.
Having a pest treatment done is the first step to rid your home of unwanted, unsettling and sometimes unhealthy pests.
However, there’s one thing in particular to avoid doing afterwards to ensure the treatment is more effective.
In this blog, the All Corners Cleaning and Pest Control team answer a few frequently asked questions we get from our clients that might also help you.
How Long After Pest Control Can I Go Home?
Many of our customers – especially those with young children and pets – wonder if they should stay at home or go elsewhere during the treatment.
It isn’t necessary for you to leave your property, but typically we recommend that clients move inside or out, while we’re treating the opposite area.
At All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control, we use the very best pesticides, which are not only highly effective but they are safe for humans and animals too.
It takes about half an hour for the pesticides to dry, so if you’d prefer to leave, or ask someone to look after your children or animals elsewhere, while the treatment is being carried out that is up to you.
Should I Clean After Pest Control?
We recommend that you don’t mop for 24-48 hours following your treatment to allow the treatment to dry completely.
When you do need to mop, it’s also important to try to stay away from the wall edges including skirting boards and kickboards if you can, as the treatment is applied to those perimeter zones.
Avoiding these spots will allow the pesticide to set and bind, making it more effective and last longer.
It is okay to vacuum and sweep as normal.
What To Do After Pest Control Sprays
In conclusion, we recommend that you:
- Wait elsewhere on your property while the pesticide dries.
- Avoid mopping for 1-2 days, then be mindful about where you’re mopping and try to avoid going right up against skirting boards

What To Do Before Pest Control
If you’ve got a pest treatment coming up you might be wondering what to do beforehand to ensure the treatment is effective and your family and fur babies are safe.
In this blog we list 6 things we recommend you do before a visit from the friendly pest control technicians at All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control on Brisbane’s northside.
6 Things to Do Before Pest Control
The treatments we use at All Corners Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control are completely safe for humans so there’s no need for people to leave their property.
Generally, if we’re treating the inside of a home, we’ll ask people to step outside and vice versa. The drying process takes about 25-30 minutes and is fine for animals and children after this time.
Some of our clients who have young child or pets prefer to take them to a local park or for a walk while the treatment is being carried out.
When preparing for your treatment, there are a few tasks we recommend you do:
1. Clean your floors thoroughly:
It is important to vacuum and mop prior to having a pest treatment done for several reasons.
- Cleaning removes any visible pests and food sources (forcing pests out of hiding)
- To ensure the treatment is effective, we don’t recommend mopping for 24-48 hours after your treatment. Getting it done beforehand will mean you’re not tempted to clean straight after and will allow your treatment to dry completely for maximum effectiveness.
- Concentrate on cracks and crevasses when vacuuming
2. Pack away kids’ toys around house.
Do you have an active toddler? Chances are you’ve got lots of toys and pretend play items around the house e.g. from miniature kitchens to duplo.
If any of these happen to be near the walls, we ask that they are moved and/or packed away prior to our arrival. That way we’ll be able to get a more efficient treatment down in all rooms.
3. Pick up your pet’s belongings
Just like kids, playful pups and kittens can accumulate plenty of toys too. We recommend packing their toys away and moving their bedding away from walls, cracks or crevasses.
It is completely safe for your pets to be home during and after our treatments, but you can ask a neighbour or family member to look after them for a few hours if you’d prefer.
4. Cover your fish tank:
Do you have a fish tank or pond?
It should be covered before a pest treatment is carried out. If you haven’t been able to do this before we arrive, please advise us so we can add a protective covering to the enclosure.
5. House accessibility
We ask that you think about accessibility prior to our arrival. That includes things like:
Ensuring we can reach the manhole/roof, under the house and outside areas where pests might thrive, and
Removing any large furniture items or appliances away from walls and corners of rooms.
6. Clean kitchen and bathroom
We advise that you take out any rubbish, especially food scraps prior to a pest treatment.
It’s best to put away food items in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom e.g. toothbrushes and soaps in the bathroom, too.

Winter Pest Control Tips
In this blog, the team at All Corners Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control shares some Winter pest control tips – because no one likes to have unwanted house guests at any time of the year.
While creepy crawlies love the warmer Queensland weather, it doesn’t mean they disappear when the temperature drops.
In fact, they may have moved inside your home, where they’re residing in cracks and crevasses as they seek warmth and shelter.
Winter Pest Control Tips
A lot of our customers have pest treatments carried out at their homes religiously every six months to keep the pests at bay.
We understand that pest control might not be on the top of your to-do list during Winter, but it can be a good idea to rid your home of creepy crawlies before Summer (when they make the most of those prime breeding conditions).
Plus, if you can prevent the pests from becoming a problem when its cooler, you’ll avoid the Summer pest treatment rush.
Here are some other tips to reduce your chances of sharing your home with vermin.
- Take your bins out regularly: If you empty your bins every day and take the rubbish outside, you’ll be removing possible food sources for pests.
- Keep clutter to a minimum: Pests love to make themselves comfortable in storage areas which aren’t cleaned or accessed regularly. It is a good idea not to hold onto paper clutter, where possible, and turn over other cupboards frequently.
- Ensure doors to outside are closed: Keeping doors closed to your patio or outdoor areas can prevent pests – especially rodents and spiders – from sneaking inside, because once they’re inside they might not want to leave!
- Seal any gaps: Many pests are tiny and will do what they can to weasel their way into the warmth and comfort of your home. Pests can also slip inside through broken windows and fly screens – so if you’ve been putting off any repair jobs, now’s the time to do them!
- Trim trees and shrubs near your home: This will give the pests fewer places to hide, and when they are around you’ll be more likely to see them.

What to Expect During Pest Control and Termite Inspection?
A combined termite inspection and pest control treatment usually takes about an hour and a half – 2 hours.
However, if we do come across any termites it can take much longer, because we’ll want to investigate thoroughly to ascertain just how much damage they’ve caused and to determine the best treatment option.

To rid your home of unwanted visitors, we use the latest treatments including, liquid sprays, dry aerosols and powders.

Termite Inspections and Termite Control
We provide termite eradication and management services where termites are prevalent across the North Brisbane area.
It is important for any species of termites found in your home to be properly identified, so the best treatment plan can be put in place.
It is also highly recommended that inspections for termites be undertaken at least every 12 months on your property.
Regular Inspections
You can also keep an eye on your property by checking for hard mud tubing around the home or any signs of timber decay or damage. If an area is suspected of having termite activity, it is very important to not disturb it until the pest management technician can attend and deal with the issue.
Even when there are no termites present, an inspection will highlight risk conditions so recommendations can be made to help reduce the risk of termite attack on your home.
Treatment Programs
All Corners are familiar with all North Brisbane suburbs and will be happy to advise you on the best treatment and management.
One of the best ways to protect your home is the installation of a Termite Chemical Barrier. Other forms of minimising risks are installation of baiting systems or more regular inspections throughout the year. Prevention is the best termite protection, so please call to discuss the best way to protect your home from these destructive timber pests.
