🥶❄️🐀As the temperature begins to drop in Mackay, you might notice some unexpected visitors—like rodents or other little critters making their presence known with unusual sounds in your roof space.

It’s really important to identify what type of creature is causing the ruckus. Knowing exactly what you're dealing with helps us create an effective plan to keep your home pest-free.

Before considering any poison around your home, we strongly recommend reaching out to professionals who can help identify the animals living in your space. Those mysterious noises could actually be coming from possums, bandicoots, or other protected native wildlife looking for warmth during the chilly months!

Effective January 1, 2025, changes to Queensland Electrical Safety Regulations now require new safety measures for accessing roof voids or ceiling spaces during pest control services.

𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨:

Power must be switched off before our technicians can enter the roof void/ceiling space.
The mains power must be turned off at the meter box by you or a nominated person.
If you are unsure how to do this, please consult a qualified electrician.

𝘿𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙊𝙛𝙛:

For Termite Inspections, Pre Purchase Pest Inspections or Services where our technician's are required to enter the ceiling space and crawl through, power will typically be off for no more than 10-20 minutes. Our technician will notify you when it is safe to switch it back on. In situations where you are not present, the technician will turn power back on once access to the roof space is not required.

𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨:

If uninterrupted power is required for medical devices or other reasons, or if you choose not to turn off the power, our technicians will proceed with your service without accessing the roof void/ceiling space. Rest assured, our technicians are trained to conduct comprehensive inspections using alternative methods if this area is inaccessible. We utilize various tools and techniques to ensure we assess all areas of your property as thoroughly as possible, even without accessing the roof space directly.

This procedure ensures compliance with updated safety regulations that are now Law. It protects both our technicians and your property.
