• Treat lofts, sheds and external voids where accessible using appropriate PPE to avoid contamination
• Set monitoring or glue traps if required and advise on follow‑up visits
• Provide proofing advice and simple sealing recommendations to reduce re‑infestation

Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Are you insured and certified to carry out domestic pest control?
• What products will you use and are they safe for children, pets and plants?
• How many visits are likely and do you offer a guarantee or follow‑up service?
• Will you need access to lofts, cavities or external areas that require ladders or scaffold?
• Do you include proofing (sealing gaps) in the quote or is that extra work
• Are there any re‑entry times or precautions we need to follow after treatment?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Clear access to loft hatches, cupboards and eaves before the visit
• Reserve parking near the property for the technician and any ladder van
• Keep children and pets out of treatment areas and confirm any re‑entry intervals
• Check landlord or estate rules for work in communal areas before booking
• Confirm who supplies ladders or scaffold and whether a working‑at‑height risk assessment is needed
• Remove or cover fragile items in treatment zones to avoid accidental contamination
