How to Prepare for a Pest Control Visit

Before the visit is booked

Confirm which pest or concern the appointment addresses and what is included. An online request begins the conversation; it does not confirm an appointment.

• Describe the areas affected and share relevant previous work.
• Ask whether an inspection is needed before a quote.
• Confirm the date, access arrangements and point of contact with the office.

Ask about people, pets and access

Tell the team about pets and any household questions that may affect preparation. Ask for treatment-specific instructions about access, belongings and when treated spaces may be used again. Do not assume the same instructions apply to every service.

Prepare only as directed

Before moving furniture, emptying storage or changing access to an affected space, confirm what the team needs. Bed bug, rodent, mosquito and general pest services can involve different preparation.

Know what happens after the visit

Ask what to expect, how to report continued activity and whether follow-up is part of the plan. Keep any written service instructions with your appointment details.
