Scope of Works
• Inspect internal and external areas (loft, eaves, sheds, garages) to locate webs, egg sacs and harbourage sites
• remove visible webs, egg sacs and adult spiders where it is safe to do so
• apply targeted, licensed treatments (dusts or residual sprays) to entry points and harbourage areas as required
• treat lofts, eaves and external perimeters and advise on sealing or follow‑up work to reduce re‑infestation
• collect and bag contaminated debris for safe disposal and leave the site tidy
• identify and refer suspected dangerous or non‑native species to a specialist for safe removal

Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Are you insured and do you hold any pest control licences or qualifications?
• Will you identify the species first and can you provide photos or a report?
• What control methods will you use and are they safe for pets, children and plants?
• Do you give a written quote showing call‑out, labour, materials and any extra access costs?
• How long before treated areas are safe to re‑enter and do you provide re‑entry guidance?
• Will you handle disposal of contaminated material and issue a service record?
How to Avoid Surprises
• give clear access to loft hatches, eaves, sheds and garages and remove fragile stored items
• advise the trader of parking restrictions or arrange nearby parking for vans
• secure pets and keep children away from treatment areas until you have safety advice
• check landlord or communal rules before external treatments or using pesticides
• tell the tradesperson about allergies, pregnancy or occupants with respiratory conditions
• expect short re‑entry times after residual treatments and ask for any temporary restrictions in writing
