A proper inspection report includes the date, technician name, rooms checked, pests identified, and severity level. It should note entry points like cracks wider than 3 mm, moisture areas, and signs of nesting. Photos are standard. Ask for a copy before any treatment begins, so you know exactly what was found and what areas need attention.
Bait stations hold poison that workers carry back to the nest. Sprays leave a residual barrier on baseboards and entry points. Dusts fill wall voids where sprays cannot reach. Heat treatment raises room temperature above 50 degrees Celsius for several hours to kill bed bugs in all life stages.
Avoid companies that quote by phone without visiting the property. Refuse cash-only payments and companies without a registered license number on the quote. Be cautious if the technician refuses to show product labels or explains safety measures. Also avoid pressure tactics urging a 12-month contract before any inspection has taken place.
Baits can take 5 to 14 days to reduce a colony. Sprays kill on contact within hours but lose power after 2 to 3 weeks. Bed bug heat treatments work in 1 day but need a follow-up inspection after 10 days. Termite treatments often need 30 to 90 days of monitoring.
Warm months above 20°C boost ant, mosquito, and cockroach activity. Rodents enter homes when temperatures drop below 10°C. Spring triggers termite swarms. Heavy rain drives silverfish and earwigs indoors. Knowing the season helps you time preventive treatments and explains why infestations often seem sudden, since populations build quietly for weeks before being noticed.
Ask the technician exactly which product is being applied, its safety sheet, and the re-entry time. Most modern products dry in 1 to 2 hours. Bait stations are usually safer than broadcast sprays around toddlers and cats. Request child- and pet-safe options before the visit if needed.
Indoor treatments focus on baseboards, cracks, and hiding spots using gel, dust, or low-odor sprays. Outdoor treatments create a 1 to 2 metre barrier around the foundation using liquid or granular products. Some pests require both zones. Ask whether your quote covers perimeter spraying, since outdoor work usually adds 20 to 40 percent to the total cost.
Prices depend on pest type, property size, infestation level, number of visits, and treatment method. A single-room flea job can cost far less than a whole-house termite treatment. Severe infestations needing 3 to 4 follow-up visits raise the total. Always ask what is included in the quote.
Keep the service ticket, product labels, safety data sheets, and warranty terms in one folder. Note the date of each visit and the products applied. This paperwork matters when selling your home, dealing with landlords, or making insurance claims. If a company refuses to leave written documentation, consider that a serious warning sign about their process.
Ask if the company is licensed in your area, carries liability insurance, and employs certified applicators. Request the product names, the warranty terms, and the number of follow-up visits included. Ask for references from similar jobs in the last 6 months and the technician's years of experience.
