What areas of the home do you treat during a visit?

Our technicians treat both the interior and exterior of your home, including entry points, roof voids, under the house, and outdoor areas where pests are likely to nest or enter.

Is Flick's pest control service safe for kids and pets?

Yes, Flick’s pest control services are designed with the safety of your family and pets in mind. We use the same professional grade products in homes as we do in hospitals and childcare centres. While all pesticides carry some risk, our trained technicians use them carefully to minimise exposure. For added safety, we recommend that children, pets, and pregnant individuals stay out of treated areas during application and until the products have fully dried, typically within 3 to 4 hours.

How often should I book professional pest control in Australia?

Most homes benefit from a professional pest control service every 3 to 6 months, depending on the climate and local pest activity. Warmer regions like Queensland and NSW often require more frequent treatments due to higher humidity and year round insect movement.

Our technicians inspect internal and external areas, roof voids, subfloors, garden beds and moisture prone zones to detect termites, cockroaches, rodents, ants and other common Australian pests. You’ll receive a clear report and recommended treatment plan.

Why Your FMCG Business Should Invest in SMART Digital Pest Control

SMART Digital Pest Control is our revolutionary way to keep your business free from pests.

SMART Digital Pest Control offers 24/7 remote monitoring in combination with traps that we maintain, giving you the easiest pest management system out there. We handle emptying the traps and moving them to areas with pest activity, so that you always have the highest-quality pest prevention and control available. In addition, because the traps eliminate the need for pesticides, the SMART system is compatible with FMCG businesses that need to avoid the possibility of cross contamination from pesticides.

When you have a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company, you expect your inventory to move quickly. That means they are probably in multiple locations while they are being moved. These different areas provide their own risks for pests. Understanding those risks can help you realize how the SMART system can help you.

Why SMART Digital Pest Control is the best option for a FMCG company

If you have a FMCG business, whether you are in production or retail, the outside may attract pests. Look around your facility and see what could attract pests. Dumpsters, vegetation, nearby empty lots, waste accumulation, and a source of water are all things that pests love. If you see those things, you have to worry about an external pest problem.

If you process food, pests are going to be attracted inside by the smell of food. Processing facilities also provide lots of entry points. Some of those points are doors, drains, and incoming shipments of products. Food prep areas are also very tempting to pests. The food attracts them, and it is difficult to keep food prep areas clean of spills or small pieces of food. They also offer hiding spots, since pests can easily hide under appliances. It can be difficult to eliminate all of those sources, so using the SMART system to monitor near them can alert you as soon as pests breach your barrier.

One of the most embarrassing places to have pests is on the sales floor. Displays offer hiding spots and open doors provide plenty of entry places. You do not want to have an infestation because it can ruin thousands of dollars in product. You also do not want customers to see pests on the premises because it can impact your reputation. SMART helps you spot pests quickly and targets them on-site, discreetly, and without risk to your customers. Call Flick today to get started with SMART Digital Pest Control for your FMCG company.

How SMART Digital Pest Control Monitors Each FMCG Risk Zone

SMART sensor placement is calibrated to the three highest-risk zones inside every FMCG facility. Each zone carries distinct pest entry patterns and requires a different monitoring approach:

Zone 1: Perimeter and External Grounds
Risk indicators: dumpsters, vegetation, empty adjacent lots, waste accumulation, standing water.SMART response: Cellular-connected sensors placed at building entry points and known harbourage zones, alerting Flick technicians before pests breach the interior envelope.
Zone 2: Processing and Food Preparation Areas
Risk indicators: external doors, floor drains, incoming shipment dock levellers, appliance voids, spillage-prone prep surfaces.SMART response: Non-toxic SMART traps monitor drainage points, dock zones, and equipment cavities continuously, feeding timestamped catch data directly into HACCP-compatible audit records.
Zone 3: Sales Floor and Customer-Facing Areas
Risk indicators: display shelving, open customer entrances, back-of-house storage voids, self-checkout zones.SMART response: Discreet sensors detect activity out of customer sightline, enabling on-site resolution before infestations damage stock or trigger visible sightings that impact reputation.

Common Questions About SMART Pest Control for FMCG Facilities

Why SMART Digital Pest Control is the best option for a FMCG company?

If you have an FMCG business, whether you are in production or retail, the outside may attract pests. Look around your facility and see what could attract pests. Dumpsters, vegetation, nearby empty lots, waste accumulation, and a source of water are all things that pests love. If you see those things, you have to worry about an external pest problem. SMART helps you spot pests quickly and targets them on-site, discreetly, and without risk to your customers.

What are the highest-risk pest zones in an FMCG facility?

The three highest-risk zones are the external perimeter (dumpsters, vegetation, and waste accumulation points), processing and food preparation areas (doors, floor drains, dock levellers, and equipment voids), and customer-facing sales floors (display shelving, entrances, and back-of-house storage). SMART Digital Pest Control monitors all three zones continuously through cellular-connected sensors.

Can SMART Digital Pest Control be used in food processing areas?

Yes. SMART traps are non-toxic and remove the risk of chemical cross-contamination, which makes them compatible with food processing, packaging, and cold-storage zones where traditional pesticide-based pest control is restricted or prohibited.

How does SMART Digital Pest Control support HACCP compliance for FMCG businesses?

SMART generates timestamped digital records of every detection and catch event, providing an automated audit trail that satisfies HACCP documentation requirements without the manual paper-log burden traditionally placed on quality assurance teams.
