What to do before a pest control treatment

2/2/2017

20 Comments

 
Preparing your home or business for a pest control treatment is a fairly easy task that takes little to no time. However, there are a few essential tasks that need to be done to ensure the pest control technician can properly treat your house.

Following through with each point listed below will not only make the job of the pest technician who visits your house easier, but ensures that the pest control treatment is successful. You are bound to get some personal advice from the pest control technician himself, depending on the type of pest control service. 

As a general rule, it is important that you keep the property neat and tidy and that it is cleaned thoroughly before a treatment is started. Some other things you can do to prepare for a pest control treatment is:


  • Scrub all the floors in your house, this includes vacuuming carpets and rugs. Make sure to use a good detergent when scrubbing or mopping the floors to ensure any traces of insect eggs are removed and their food sources.
  • Remove bag from the vacuum cleaner. Ensure it is properly discarded and sealed. Vacuuming before a pest treatment will force pests out from their hiding spots as their food sources are removed. Allowing the pest technician to target them.
  • Linen and clothes should be sealed in clean bags after washing them or kept away from treatment areas.
  • Removal of food items from bench tops, if there is any food outside (pet food) ensure it is covered.
  • Cover all animal enclosures like aquariums and cages with sheets or towels.
  • Move furniture away from the walls to give the pest control technician access to all corners and areas of the house or business.
  • Ensure pest control technician has access to all areas outside the house, under the house, the roof and wherever else they may require access. This is to ensure that the job can be done in a timely and efficient manner with successful results. 
  • If it is an outdoor treatment, remove animals from the area during the time of treatment.
  • Close all windows before the treatment begins 
  • If required, be prepared to leave the home during the treatment for up to 4 hours.


These steps are only a guideline on how best to prepare your house or business for a pest control treatment, it is always recommended to ask your technician before the day of treatment how you should prepare as some advice may differ from job to job.

Very informative. Thanks to you for assistance in getting started. Currently seems overwhelming. Rodent problem, as they say if you see one, count on 10. No cats involved, but my dog is a herding guy and very determined. At this point, however, we are both simply Howling!

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are the most common compounds used to control bed bugs and other indoor pests. Pyrethrins are botanical insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides that act like pyrethrins.

Thanks for the tip to mop the floors and vacuum carpets and rugs to remove traces of eggs or food sources. My husband and I would like to make sure that we don't see any more ants or roaches in our basement. I'll start looking for a pest control service after we are done cleaning the floors.

It's good to know that you should clean all of the floors in your home. My husband and I have begun to notice ants in our kitchen a couple of weeks ago since the weather started getting warmer, and we want to make sure that we do everything right when hiring a pest control service. I'll make sure to keep these tips in mind once we find a pest control service to hire.
