Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Are you insured and do you have public liability cover?
• Which control methods will you use and will you use rodenticides in the property?
• How do you manage contaminated droppings and will you remove and dispose of them safely?
• Do you provide a written treatment plan, proofing recommendations and a warranty or follow‑up visits?
• Can you confirm any access you need to lofts, crawl spaces or neighbouring areas and the expected timings?
• Will treatment affect pets or require temporary evacuation of rooms?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Ensure clear access to lofts, roof spaces and voids
• Reserve parking or notify building management for vehicle access
• Secure pets and keep children away during inspection and treatment
• Put aside recent sighting details and photos to show the tradesperson
• Check tenancy agreements or freeholder rules for pesticide or access permissions
