Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• what species do you think is causing the problem and what evidence supports that
• which products and methods will you use and are they safe for pets, children and food areas
• will you need access to lofts, drains or neighbour areas and can you work out of hours if needed
• do you provide written treatment notes, a guarantee or follow‑up visits and what do they cost
• are you insured and do you hold any pest control qualifications or certifications
• how should I prepare the property before you arrive (clear areas, secure food, pets)
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear access to affected areas and remove exposed food and crockery
• arrange parking or a nearby unloading spot for the technician
• secure pets and children away from treatment zones and notify about allergies or respiratory conditions
• tell the tradie about any recent treatments or cleaning schedules so work is co‑ordinated
• check if flats or managed estates need permission for external screens or access equipment
