Our technicians apply products registered with the Ministry of Health, in controlled doses and using approved methods. Even so, no pesticide is harmless: that is why these instructions exist. Following them is how the product does its job against pests while keeping the risk to your family and pets to a minimum.
After the application, the product needs time to settle and dry. Respecting this period is the most important safety measure of the entire service.
Applies to most residential and commercial services. Count the time from when the technician declares the application finished.
When the pest problem is serious, our technicians apply a larger amount of product than usual because the level of infestation requires it. In these cases the waiting time doubles, and the technician will tell you so explicitly on site and on the service sheet.
As our policy, no one may remain in the areas while the product is being applied or during the re-entry time. We take special care with those we most want to protect:
Their respiratory system is still developing. They must leave the areas before the work begins and return only once the re-entry time has passed.
They deserve twice the care. Let's arrange together a comfortable space outside the treated areas for the duration of the service and the waiting time.
If anyone in your home has asthma, rhinitis or allergies, let us know when you book and keep them away until the re-entry time has passed and the space has been aired out.
As an additional precaution, we recommend that they not be present during the application or the waiting period.
Keep them out of the treated areas during the service and for the entire re-entry time. They walk on, sniff and lick surfaces, which is why we look after them separately.
Take them to an untreated yard, to a neighbor's or out for a walk. Remove their beds, toys and food and water bowls before the application.
Keep them in a carrier or in a room that will not be treated. They clean their fur with their tongue, so keep them from walking on damp areas.
If you cannot move the aquarium, cover it completely with plastic and turn off the air pump or filter during the application and the re-entry time: the air pump can draw product into the water.
Five minutes of preparation make the difference. This is all we ask of you:
When re-entry times and ventilation are respected, discomfort is uncommon. But if, after the service, anyone has dizziness, nausea, a persistent headache or irritation of the eyes, skin or throat, take them outdoors and seek medical advice immediately. Keep these contacts at hand:
If you contact the Poison Control Center, give the name of the product applied: it appears on your service sheet, and you can also ask us for it by phone or WhatsApp at any time.
The above in plain language; the same, in the formal wording that protects both parties.
