"Got a pest control appointment on the calendar and not sure what to do before the technician arrives?"
A little prep goes a long way toward making your pest control visit as smooth as possible. When your home’s ready to go, technicians can easily reach the trouble spots, and the products can do their thing without anything getting in the way. Here’s what to sort out before your appointment:
- Clear the way: Pull furniture, boxes, and clutter away from walls, baseboards, and corners so technicians can reach entry points and hiding spots.
- Tidy up first: Vacuum the floors, wipe down surfaces, and take out the trash. Less food lying around means the treatment works better.
- Put food and dishes away: Seal or stash food, and clear the counters of dishes, utensils, and small appliances.
- Look after your pets: Cover or move fish tanks and settle pets somewhere safe. Just ask how long they should stay clear.
- Stash personal items: Tuck away toys, electrical goods, computers, toothbrushes, pet bowls, and anything else you touch often.
- Open things up: Unlock gates, garages, attics, and crawl spaces that the technician might need to access.
- Sort your laundry: For treatments like bed bugs, wash and bag bedding and clothing as directed.
Your technician might have a few extra pointers depending on the type of treatment, so it never hurts to check the specifics ahead of time. A bit of prep keeps your family, pets, and belongings safe while giving the treatment the best shot at working.
