Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between amateur and professional rodenticides?
Amateur rodenticides are suitable for use by the general public and come in ready-to-use formulations. Professional rodenticides are stronger and require certification (such as CRRU-approved training) for purchase and use.
Do I need a license to buy professional pest control products?
Yes, you must hold a valid certificate of competence to purchase and use professional-grade rodenticides and pesticides. A1 Lawn may request proof before dispatch.
How do I know if my lawn has a fungal disease?
Common signs include discolouration, thinning patches, or visible spots and threads on grass blades. Our fungicides are designed to treat diseases like red thread, fusarium, and dollar spot.
What’s the best way to deter birds from my garden?
We offer safe and effective bird control products such as deterrent gels and visual scare devices. These can help keep birds away from lawns, planting areas, and buildings.
Are your pest control products safe around pets and children?
Always read the label carefully. Some products are pet- and child-safe once dry or applied correctly, while others should be used only in restricted areas. Safety data is provided with each product.
Can I use these products during wet weather?
It depends on the product. Many treatments require dry conditions for application and a few hours of rain-free weather to be effective. Please check individual usage instructions.
