Pre-Treatment Advice

Before starting a pest control service at a customer’s address, a licensed Pest Control Technician must give the customer a notice (Pre-treatment Pest Control advice) for the activity as per Section 13 of the Medicines and Poisons (Pest Management Activities) Regulation 2021 in the State of Queensland. The Pre-Treatment Pest Control advice may be given personally, by mail or electronically.

The following information on this webpage is your Pre-Treatment Pest Control advice given to you electronically by a licensed Pest Control Technician. We encourage you to read the page carefully and follow the precautions noted and the instructions given by the licensed Pest Control Technician.

Please contact the licensed Pest Control Technician below if you have questions about the Pre-Treatment Pest Control advice.

APVMA-APPROVED PESTICIDES

Under the Act, the technician must not use a pesticide for the activity unless the pesticide is a substance that is APVMA approved for use to carry out the activity.

1. The licensed technician will use only pest management agents and products approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and registered for use within the relevant State or Territory or under a Permit issued by APVMA or State Authority.
2. This pest management program can be ineffective if you fail to implement the recommended hygiene procedures by altering a building or landscaping or introducing conducive or infested materials.
3. While every precaution is taken when applying the APVMA-approved pesticides, neither Aussie Professional Pest Control Services nor the licensed technician shall be held responsible for any staining of timbers, fabrics, wall coverings, floor coverings, or other articles that may occur. You agree to indemnify us against any costs arising from such possible damages, and we make it clear that we will provide no rectification works in these circumstances.
4. Should concrete drilling, cutting, or both be required to apply an APVMA-approved pesticide, Aussie Professional Pest Control Services nor the licensed technician shall accept any liability for damages from concealed services such as power, gas, or water. It is incumbent upon you to provide clear and accurate plans prior to commencing any such site work. Again, you agree to indemnify us against any costs arising from such possible damages, and we expressly state that we will undertake no rectification works.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT

The following precautions are recommended to minimise exposure to any pesticide utilised for pest management activity:

1. Before the commencement of work, you must inform us of any individuals or pets on-site, as well as any known allergies or health-related concerns.
2. Persons particularly sensitive or prone to allergic reactions should vacate the premises for up to twenty-four (24) hours, returning only after the area has been thoroughly ventilated. Any air-conditioners should be left on ‘vent mode’ for at least four hours after treatment to circulate outside air into the building.
3. If contact with a treated area occurs and symptoms manifest, immediate contact should be made with the Poisons Information Centre at 13 11 26. Have this notice accessible when calling.
4. It is mandatory to cover all food items and utensils for humans, pets, and animals prior to treatment, following provided directions.
5. The removal or protection of individuals, animals, birds, or fish is required during treatment. Pets and animals should be kept away from treated areas until the insecticide has dried and any odour has dissipated.
6. As directed, all clothing and items must be removed from your clothesline before treatment.
7. Avoidance of contact with treated surfaces until the insecticide has dried is advised. The drying process may take between three (3) to twenty-four (24) hours.
8. Doors and windows should remain closed during the treatment until any odour has cleared for external treatments, which may take up to twenty-four hours.
9. When accessing or working in roof voids or subfloor areas, wearing overalls and gloves, along with a respirator, is essential to avoid contact with insecticidal products. The protective clothing should be washed separately or disposed of promptly. 

By following these precautions, the risk of exposure to pesticides can be minimised, ensuring a safer environment for all involved.
