How to Prepare for Home Pest Control

To ensure the most streamlined service possible for home pest control, we recommend the following steps:


  1. Clear Clutter: Remove unnecessary items and clutter from the areas where pest control will be applied. This allows the pest control professional easy access to potential hiding spots and ensures thorough coverage of treatment areas.
  2. Clean and Sanitise: Clean surfaces, especially in the kitchen and dining areas, to eliminate food particles and spills. Pests are attracted to food sources, and a clean environment reduces their attraction to treated areas, making the pest control more effective.
  3. Seal Food and Store Utensils: Seal and store all food items, including pet food, in airtight containers. This minimises the attractiveness of your home to pests and prevents them from coming into contact with treated surfaces. Additionally, store utensils and kitchenware properly.
  4. Secure Personal Belongings: Cover or secure personal belongings like clothing, bedding and children's toys. This precautionary measure ensures that these items are not exposed to the pest control products during treatment. If possible, remove sensitive items from the treatment area.
  5. Provide Access to Treatment Areas: Ensure that the pest control professional has easy access to all areas that require treatment. Move furniture away from walls, unlock doors to rooms and cabinets, and inform the technician about specific areas of concern. This facilitates a more thorough and effective pest control application.
