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
