What Happens On A Treatment Visit

A service visit is more inspection than application, which surprises most people. The walk around is where the actual work gets decided.

The inspection comes first

A technician walks the perimeter looking for activity, entry points, moisture and harbourage, then walks the interior for evidence in the places pests actually travel: under sinks, along baseboards, in the garage, around the water heater.

What you will be asked

Where you have seen activity, when, and how often. Homeowners consistently underrate how useful this is. You are in the building every day and the technician is there for an hour.

Preparing for the visit

• Clear access under sinks and around the perimeter of the house
• Put pet bowls and food away, and let the technician know about pets and pet locations
• Mention anyone in the household with respiratory sensitivities or allergies
• Say if there are areas you would rather were not treated

Reading the label

Any product applied has a label that states where it may be used and what re-entry interval applies. Ask what was used and what the label says about your household, including pets. A technician should be able to answer that plainly and should leave you a record of what was applied and where.

Afterwards

Report what you see. Follow up timing depends on the pest and its life cycle, and a treatment plan is built around that cycle rather than around the calendar.
