The licensed technician will only use pest management agents and products approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and registered for use within the relevant State or Territory or under a Permit issued by APVMA or State Authority.

We DO NOT exceed the number of residual applications indicated on the product label per year.

We DO NOT apply insecticides “off label” to treat pests not listed on the APVMA-approved product label.

We ONLY apply treatments at the registered application rates on the product label for target pests.

The following are the precautions that persons should take to minimise exposure to any pesticide used for pest management activity.

a) Before we commence work, you must advise us of any persons or pets on-site, and any health concerns you may have including pregnancy, young children or allergies.

b) As a precaution, persons who may be particularly sensitive or suffer from allergic reactions should remain out of the premises for up to twenty-four (24) hours and not return until after the premises have been thoroughly ventilated. Leave any air-conditioners on ‘vent mode’ (so they circulate outside air into the building) for at least four hours after the treatment or re-occupying.

c) Should you suspect anyone has come into contact with a treated area and has been affected, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 and have this notice with you.

d) You must cover all food items and utensils for humans, pets and animals before treatment, as directed.

e) During treatment, you must remove or protect any people, animals, birds or fish. You should keep all pets and animals away from treated areas until dry, and any odour has cleared.

f) As directed, you must remove all clothing and items from your clothesline before treatment.

g) It would be best to avoid contact with treated surfaces until the insecticide has dried.

h) Close all doors and windows during the treatment and keep them closed until the odour has cleared on external treatments, which can sometimes take three to twenty-four hours.

i) You must observe any verbal advice our firm or licensed technician provided regarding the treatment.

j) Water Tanks: No treatment can be carried out around water tanks that are not fully sealed or in water collection areas. You must advise us of water tank installations.

The proposed treatment only applies to the pest species nominated by the licensed technician, and the program does not provide for a Pest Management Program against untreated pests.

If our technician determines that structural or environmental conditions prevent performing any treatments during the program quoted, we retain the right to review and revise the terms of the FREE Service Period or the cost of your investment.

Unless we provide specific written arrangements, the total contract price shall be due and recoverable by Hinterland Pest Services on the commencement of works.

Any Free Service Period shall become null and void unless all monies due are paid in full.

Where we provide a Free Service Period, upon notification by you, we agree to provide such remedial treatment as may be required to the nominated property, at no cost to you, for the term of the Free Service Period set by the licensed technician. Any Free Service Period is conditional upon immediately notifying us of the signs of the suspected pest infestation. We will perform a remedial service only to the affected areas and follow the strict limits concerning the number of treatments per year detailed on the product label.

No responsibility is accepted, nor warranty expressed or implied, for any damage or consequential losses due to past, current or future pest activity.

LIMITATIONS OF TREATMENT

We make no efficacy claims beyond the claims made by the manufacturer of each APVMA approved pesticide and subject to the environmental conditions, hygiene and sanitation requirements indicated on the latest APVMA approved product label.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

To the extent permitted by law:

Nothing in this agreement operates to make us liable (whether under contract law, common law or otherwise) to you for any consequential, indirect or special loss or damage of any nature whatsoever, including (but not limited to) those arising out of delay, failure of a product, loss of production, business interruption, loss of revenue, loss of profits or loss of opportunity.
