Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you a member of a recognised pest control trade body or insured for flea treatments

• what products will you use and can you supply product names and safety data sheets

• do you include follow‑up visits in the price and when would they take place

• who is responsible for treating pets and do you work with or recommend a vet

• what preparations do you expect from the homeowner and how long before re‑entry

• do you offer any guarantee or written record of treatment and next steps if fleas persist

How to Avoid Surprises

• confirm parking close to the property and advise of narrow drives or stairs

• tell the tradie how many pets live on site and any recent flea or veterinary treatments given

• declare if the property is listed, an HMO or has communal areas requiring landlord consent

• expect written safety advice and re‑entry times from the technician and budget for any recommended cleaning

• check insurance and ask for a treatment record to avoid misunderstandings later
