Frequently asked questions

Is pest control different in BTM Layout?

The pests are mostly the common household ones, but the building type, age, drainage and surroundings change the plan.

How often should I book a service?

It depends on the pest and the property. Recurring problems and food businesses usually need regular visits.

Can neighbours affect my pest problem?

Yes. Shared walls, drains and waste areas can carry pests between homes.

Do I need a contract?

Not always. A one-time treatment suits a specific problem, while a plan suits recurring pests.
