Emergency Pest Control FAQs
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Avoid disturbing nests, moving infested furniture, or sealing rodent entry points before inspection. Keep people and pets away from active areas where possible.
Is every pest problem an emergency?
No. But activity in food areas, bedrooms, care settings, schools, rental properties, hotels, and occupied business premises should be dealt with promptly.
Can you provide documentation for businesses?
Yes. Commercial clients can receive written reports suitable for compliance records, tenancy files, or due diligence documentation.
