For an inspection
Leave the sleeping area substantially as found. Photograph signs, secure a specimen and list sightings by room and date.
Provide access to bed edges and nearby furniture without dismantling everything.
For treatment
Use the provider’s written list. Bag textiles before movement and separate processed from untreated items.
Identify heat-sensitive items, medicines, aerosols, pets, aquariums and any health or accessibility consideration.
Confirm the practical details
Know when everyone must leave, who locks up, the safe re-entry time, ventilation instructions, what can be cleaned and when the follow-up occurs.
Keep the instructions and contact route available after the visit.
Sources and further checks
Open the source before acting on information that may change, including council services, prices, tenancy rules and product labels.
