Step-by-Step Guide to Preparing Your Home
Clean and Declutter
Kitchen: Empty all cabinets, especially where pests have been seen. Clean countertops, stovetops, and under appliances. Remove any food items and store them in airtight containers.
Bathrooms: Clear out cabinets and clean under sinks. Make sure no toiletries or personal items are left out.
Bedrooms: Remove bedding, including sheets and pillowcases. Clear out under-bed storage and vacuum thoroughly.
Living Areas: Move furniture away from walls, if possible, to allow access to baseboards. Vacuum carpets and clean floors.
Protect Pets and Their Belongings
Relocate Pets: If possible, have pets stay with a friend or family member during the treatment. If relocation isn't possible, confine them to a single room and inform the pest control technician.
Remove Pet Food and Water: Ensure all pet food, water dishes, and toys are removed from treatment areas.
Fish Tanks: Cover fish tanks with plastic wrap and turn off any air pumps to prevent chemicals from entering the water.
Post-Treatment Precautions
Ventilation: After the treatment, ventilate your home by opening windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate.
Cleaning: Follow the pest control technician's advice on when to clean treated areas. Typically, it's recommended to wait a few days before mopping or vacuuming to ensure the treatment remains effective.
Follow-Up: Schedule any recommended follow-up treatments and keep an eye out for pest activity. Report any issues to
