Identification, treatment and follow-up are different decisions. Keeping them separate makes quotes clearer, because you can compare like with like.
1Identify
Use specimens, spots, cast skins and hiding-place evidence, not bites alone. Since bites can mislead, try the isitabedbug.co.uk ID checker first if you are unsure.
2Act
Match the method and the room scope to what the inspection found, because a plan should follow the evidence. Then compare the written plans with our cost guide and questions to ask.
3Verify
Agree the follow-up before work starts. However, keep monitoring the same way each time and record new sightings.
