Pest Control FAQs

Most residential termite inspections take 1–2 hours depending on the size of your property and how accessible the roof void and subfloor are. Ruben inspects all accessible internal and external areas, including fences, gardens, and outbuildings. After the inspection you'll receive a detailed written report with photos and clear recommendations — no jargon, no pressure.

Australian Standard AS 3660.2 recommends annual termite inspections for all homes. If your property has had previous termite activity, is in a high-risk area, or has timber construction, inspections every 6 months are advisable. Adelaide's northern suburbs have active termite populations — annual inspections are the single best way to catch activity before serious damage occurs.

For most Adelaide homes, a general pest spray every 6–12 months is recommended. If you've had a significant infestation, have pets that go outdoors, or live near bushland, more frequent treatments may be worthwhile. Hexagon offers a 6-month follow-up guarantee on residential treatments — if pests return within that period, Ruben comes back.

For most general pest sprays, you'll need to vacate for around 2–4 hours while products dry. Ruben will let you know the exact re-entry time based on the products used and areas treated. For termite barrier treatments or larger jobs, the timeframe may be longer. You'll always receive clear written aftercare instructions before Ruben leaves the property.

Yes. Hexagon uses TGA and APVMA-approved products applied at safe, regulated concentrations. Ruben will always give you specific aftercare instructions before leaving — including exactly how long to keep children and pets off treated areas. For most general pest treatments this is 2–4 hours once surfaces are dry. If you have specific concerns, just ask before the job starts.

Most treatments provide long-lasting control — typically 6–12 months for general pest sprays, and longer for termite barriers. However, pests can return if conditions that attract them aren't addressed. Ruben will identify contributing factors during the job and give you honest advice on prevention. For termites, ongoing monitoring programs are available for year-round protection.
