Usually, very little:

  • For rodents: clear access to affected areas (loft hatch, under sinks, behind appliances) if possible.
  • For fleas and moths: vacuuming and washing bedding, curtains, etc., is recommended.
    For all insects: clearing access to cupboards helps.
    For wasps/ants: no preparation needed.

If anything specific is needed, we’ll advise when booking.

For rodent treatments, you can usually stay at home.
For some insect treatments (fleas, cockroaches, heavy sprays), we may advise you to keep people and pets out of treated rooms until they are dry or for a specified period. Your technician will advise based on the treatment used.

As part of the visit, we always look for likely entry points and advise on proofing options.
