Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• what active ingredients will you use and are they safe for my family/pets
• what preparation do you require me to do beforehand and what items must be removed or laundered
• how long before people and pets can re‑enter and do you provide written safety guidance
• do you offer a guarantee and what is the cost and timing of any re‑treatment
• are you insured and can you provide a risk assessment or COSHH information on request
How to Avoid Surprises
• arrange clear access and reserve a parking space close to the property if possible
• remove or launder pet bedding and soft toys and move small items off floors before the visit
• notify your tradie about babies, pregnant occupants or respiratory conditions so they can recommend safer options
• arrange pet boarding or secure containment for the day and cover or remove fish tanks during application
• check building or tenancy rules for restrictions and confirm if keys or access codes are needed
• ask the tradie to provide PPE and contamination handling instructions for any removed items
