Questions to resolve about belongings, pets, access and re-entry before a visit.
Get method-specific instructions
Ask which areas will be treated and what preparation is needed. Baits, targeted sprays and specialist procedures have different requirements. A universal waiting time cannot cover every product and property.
Food and personal items
Protect or remove exposed food, utensils and personal items as instructed. Avoid emptying every cupboard unless needed for the scope. Identify aquariums, pet areas and sensitive equipment before the visit.
People and pets
Tell the provider about children, sensitive occupants and animals so the plan can account for them. Follow the product label and written access restrictions. Do not assume that eco-friendly wording means unrestricted exposure.
Access and scheduling
Arrange keys and permissions for rooms within the agreed scope. Provide safe access to affected areas and tell the team about locked voids or shared spaces. Confirm the contact for rescheduling.
After treatment
Follow instructions for ventilation, cleaning and monitoring. Ask when to expect a change in activity and when to request a review. Do not mix additional insecticides or disturb treatment points without checking first.
Make the advice specific to your site
Use this checklist to prepare questions rather than choose a chemical or dose yourself. Describe the target pest, affected areas, occupancy and previous treatments. The provider should confirm the method, limitations and review arrangements in writing. Product labels and site-specific instructions take priority over general guidance.
