Spray around skirting boards, windows and doorways. Treat the inside of cupboards, behind and below sinks, under kitchen appliances and other places where insects like to hide.

Spray carpets, rugs and under furniture to help eliminate and control fleas and carpet beetles.

Spray around the outside perimeter of your home, around doorways, windows and eaves, drains and drain pipes. Spray anywhere insects can enter your home.

The performance of all pest control products is always improved if their use is part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program, where other actions are taken to make conditions less conducive to pests. For general pest treatments outside the home, keeping the areas adjacent to he building dry, and clear of plants and stored goods is essential. For general pest treatments inside the home, regular cleaning and vacuuming is essential.

Pro Spray Indoor and Outdoor is designed to be a long lasting surface spray. The duration of protection depends on the exposure to sun and rain. In very exposes areas, it may only last a couple of weeks, in sheltered areas, it can last up to 6 months.

Insects die after walking on the treated surface and picking up small amounts of insecticide. As they only pick up small amounts of insecticide and it’s in a dry form (which means it takes longer to enter the insect’s body), insects walking across the surface will take several minutes to die. (This is how all surface spray products work – the adverts you see fro some products showing cockroaches getting instantly zapper or being replied by a “force field” are somewhat misleading).

If you spray an insects or spider directly, as it’s a water based formulation, thy don’t die “instantly” – it will take a couple of minutes for the insect or spider to die.

The PestXpert range has been specifically designed for use around homes, where there will be children and pets present. When used in accordance with the label, the products can be applied safely with minimal impact on the environment (see point 4 below). In fact, the professional quality packaging allows the products to be applied more safely that standard consumer products, as they can be applied more accurately with less chance of accidental contact with the insecticide.

Nevertheless, safety should always be the number one priority and so before carrying out any pesticide treatment follow these key steps

  1. Read the label. Make sure you understand application instructions and safety information.
  2. Wear appropriate safety clothing. As with many insecticide products the label states that you should avoid contact with skin and eyes, breathing in the spray and washing hands after use. The best way to avoid accidental contact is to wear appropriate safety clothing. PestXpert recommends wearing overalls (you can wash or dispose of), impervious gloves and shoes, googles, mask and hat (you can wash) – just like a professional.
  3. Prepare the treatment area. Make sure all foods, food surfaces, cutlery, crockery and glasses are covered. The area to be treated should be clear of obstacles.
  4. Fish and bee alert. Although PestXpert products are designed to have minimal impact on the environment, they will kill bees (as they are insects) and fish are also very sensitive to the insecticides used in PestXpert (and most other consumer products). To minimise bee deaths, avoid spraying flowers. To protect fish, cover fish tanks and ponds and avoid spraying or disposing of product into waterways.
  5. Keep pets and children clear during application and until the treatment is dried.
  6. Do not spray outside in windy conditions as you get get “spray drift” uncontrolled movement of insecticide spray.

Although PestXpert Pro Spray Indoor and Outdoor Spray is designed to have low toxicity to humans and pets, it can still cause harm if accidentally inhaled or swallowed. The label has the following safety direction:
