General Pest Control Treatment in Sydney

Our general pest control treatment is designed for the common pests found in Sydney homes and workplaces. When we visit your property, we start by looking at where the pest activity is, and then we treat both the inside and the outside of the building.

Inside the home, we treat:

  • skirting boards
  • window frames and door frames
  • inside cupboards, including cupboard hinges
  • under sinks and other high-risk areas

Outside the home, we treat:

  • the full perimeter of the building
  • external door and window frames
  • entry points such as vents, cracks and gaps
  • under the eaves of the first storey
  • the garage, shed and children’s play areas
  • around outdoor furniture, bins and garden edges

We do not treat roof voids as part of a general pest control treatment, because it is not recommended for health reasons.

Pests Covered by Our General Pest Control

The general treatment covers the everyday pests most Sydney households and businesses deal with:

  • Australian, American and smoky brown cockroaches, which are the larger outdoor species.
    Read more on our cockroach pest control page.
  • Web-building spiders such as redbacks, black house spiders and white tails.
    Read more on our spider pest control page.
  • silverfish, flies, mosquitoes, vinegar flies and stink bugs
  • ants, fleas and ticks at low levels

Ground-dwelling spiders such as trapdoor spiders, wolf spiders and funnel-webs live in burrows, so the general treatment does not fully cover them and they need a specialist treatment. The general treatment also cannot stop flying insects coming in through open doors and windows, although it works when they land on a treated surface.

If you would like to understand how the treatment works in more detail, our guide to general pest control answers the questions we are asked most often.t treated as it is not recommended for health reasons.

Pests That Need a Specialised Pest Treatment

Some pests breed too quickly, hide too well or cause too much damage for a general treatment to deal with. If you have a large number of pests or you believe you have an infestation, we will recommend a specialised treatment and explain what it involves before we book it in.

  • German cockroaches need a separate German cockroach treatment because of how fast they breed and how resistant they can be. These are the smaller cockroaches you see indoors, usually in kitchens.
  • A full flea outbreak needs a flea treatment that covers the whole home.
  • Several ant nests or ants coming inside need a specialised ant treatment.
  • Rats and mice need rodent control, and we can also seal the gaps they use with rodent proofing.
  • Bed bugs need a dedicated bed bug treatment with follow-up visits.

How to Get the Best Result From Your Pest Control Treatment

The treatment keeps working after we leave, so a few simple steps make a real difference to the result.

Outside the home:

  • Leave spider webs in place for at least ten days, or until they fade away naturally, so the spiders keep coming into contact with the treatment.
  • Leave any residue on the outside of your windows for as long as you can, and do not clean the window frames, because we spray them from the outside. If dust sits on the window sills, wipe it off lightly with a dry paper towel.
  • Wait one week before you hose down clothes lines and council bins, and wear gloves and closed shoes when you walk on those treated areas.
  • Mow the lawn and clear away dry leaves, because a tidy yard improves the result.

Inside the home:

  • We spray the skirting boards but not furniture or benchtops. Please wait five to seven days before you mop your floors.
  • If you want to clean dust off the skirting boards, use a vacuum extension head or a dry paper towel.
  • If a cleaner mops your floors, delay the mopping by at least one week or book the clean before your pest control visit.

A general pest control treatment every six months keeps pests at a manageable level for most homes.

This is the second time we have used So Off Pest, and I have been happy every time. A great service is obviously important, but all of the interaction that I have with this team in the lead up is also excellent. The communication from the team when booking, all the way to the service technician when they are on site. I cannot praise them enough. Thank you so much!

I recently used So Pest Off for a very serious ant problem in my car (don’t even get me started it was thousands and thousands of ants). Firstly, Eileen was extremely helpful on the phone, explaining step by step what would happen, she then was able to fit me in asap. Secondly, Shant and his teammate were great. They explained to me what they were going to do and were very thorough. I believe Shant said ‘this was the worse ant problem he has seen in a car’ but he did not back down. You could tell he was passionate and actually wanted to help me, not just because he was getting paid to do so, a genuine care to help me fix this problem. It was a layered approach in the us VS the ants but we came out victorious (I say we, it was all So Pest Off). I’m so glad I called this company, they will forever be my number 1 go to for any future pest problems (hopefully no more ants in cars though). 5 stars doesn’t capture how grateful I am and how much I recommend them. Thank you so much, from a very sincere, and ant free, customer.

I cannot recommend So Pest Off highly enough! I recently reached out via their website to enquire about a maggot issue in my apartment. Within just 30 minutes of submitting my quote query, I received a phone call from Eileen. Instead of simply booking a job and taking my money, Eileen took the time to assess the situation and honestly informed me that the issue was actually a strata matter rather than an individual apartment problem. The fact that she went above and beyond to save me unnecessary costs and provided a clear next step toward a solution was invaluable. It is rare to find such integrity and genuine care in customer service these days. They have definitely gained a lifelong fan here. 100% excellent service!

We recently had a full pest treatment completed through Pest Off and are so impressed with their service. I found them via Google and texted to ask for a quote. Eileen was so easy to deal with - she replied promptly, politely and explained everything well. The whole thing was explained and booked via text - I didn't even have to get on a call (IYKYK 😂)! Aaron arrived exactly on time and was the perfect service provider. He explained the process and took his time to do a thorough job. I didnt once feel he was in a rush to get things "over and done with". He even took his shoes off coming into the house!!! Aaron was so helpful and proactive (without being pushy) that I've already booked in for Pest Off to help with birds nesting under our solar panels. Will happily use for our regular pest treatments moving forward and highly recommend to others for their pest management. Thanks, guys!

Recently had a termite inspection with So Pest Off. From the first phone call with Eileen to the inspection with Shant, the whole process was so easy. Shant was thorough, and explained everything he was doing as he went and was happy to answer my many questions regarding termites, with his extensive knowledge. And Eileen is also very knowledgeable and was so lovely over the phone when booking my inspection. I would not hesitate to recommend So Pest Off to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future.

Pest Control Prices and Warranty in Sydney

The price of pest control depends on the size of the property, the pests present and the areas that need treatment. Before you book, we explain what the treatment covers and what it costs, and we tell you upfront if a pest such as termites, rodents or bed bugs needs a more advanced treatment and follow-up visits.
Before choosing a pest control company, it’s important to look beyond the headline price. ALWAYS read the fine print and the exclusions!
Many low-cost services only cover a single pest or treat just the inside of your home leaving the exterior untreated, which is where pests usually enter from.
You will then need to pay for add-ons, this turns a “$99 Pest Control Service” into an expensive one.
You can see the prices for our other treatments on our pest control pricing page.

Our Pest Control Licences and Accreditation

So Pest Off holds NSW EPA pesticide licences 5103392 and 5201158, and we hold Termidor accreditation. Our technicians are licensed and insured, and the products we use comply with Australian safety standards.

  • Post treatment you might have residue on your windows from the outside. Please leave this for as long as possible.
  • We spray window frames from the outside, and we recommend not cleaning these. If you have dust sitting on the window-sills lightly wipe it off with a dry paper towel.
  • Clothes lines and council bins can be hosed down 1 week post treatment. Please ensure you are wearing gloves and closed sole shoes when walk on these areas as they have been sprayed.
  • Having your lawn mowed down and any excess dry leaves cleaned will improve your results.
  • We do not spray furniture or counter tops, but we will spray the skirting boards. Please allow five – seven days before mopping your floors.
  • If you have dust on your skirting boards and wish to clean this, please use the vacuum extension head or a dry paper towel.
  • Please note if you outsource your home cleaning it is important to delay floor mopping internally by at least one week to ensure that the invisible barrier applied is not impacted or organize cleaning prior to your pest control.

General Pest Control FAQ’s

General pest control covers Australian, American and smoky brown cockroaches, web-building spiders, silverfish, flies, mosquitoes and low levels of ants, fleas and ticks. We treat inside the home along the skirting boards, cupboards and door and window frames, and outside around the full perimeter and entry points. German cockroaches, termites, rodents, bed bugs and full flea outbreaks need a separate treatment.

We recommend a general pest control treatment every six months for most homes. Properties with higher pest pressure, such as food preparation areas, humid areas or homes with heavy pest activity, may need a treatment every three to four months.

General pest control typically takes 30-60 minutes for an average home depending on property size, number of rooms, and areas requiring treatment. After treatment, you should stay off treated surfaces for 2-4 hours until dry. Pets should also be kept away during this time.

No. German cockroaches need a separate treatment because they breed quickly and can be resistant to standard products. If you are seeing small cockroaches inside, especially in the kitchen, ask us about our German cockroach treatment.

No. We do not treat roof voids as part of a general pest control treatment, because it is not recommended for health reasons.

Professional general pest control provides 6-12 months of protection depending on environmental conditions, pest pressure, and treatment thoroughness. Results are typically noticeable within 24-48 hours as pests come into contact with treated surfaces. Residual protection continues killing pests for months after application.

General pest control costs vary based on property size, number of stories, treatment areas required, pest types present, and service frequency. For accurate pricing tailored to your property, please visit our pricing page or contact us for a free quote.

Our products are safe for people and pets once they are dry. Keep children and pets away from the treated areas until the surfaces have dried, which usually takes two to four hours, and we give you safety instructions at every visit.
