What Should I Do Before a Pest Control Visit?
Clear access to the areas to be treated, put away food and dishes, secure pets and note where you have seen pests. Follow any specific preparation list the technician gives you for bed bugs, roaches or fleas.
General preparation
- Move furniture a few inches from walls where possible
- Clear under sinks and in cabinets being treated
- Put away food, dishes and pet bowls
- Cover or move fish tanks and bird cages
Tell the technician
Where you saw pests, how long ago, any health conditions in the home, pets or young children and any products you have already used.
For bed bugs and fleas
These need more preparation, such as laundry on high heat and vacuuming. Your technician will give a short list so treatment can reach every hiding place.
What this means in Omaha
Many Omaha homes have finished basements and attached garages, so give the technician access to both and let them know about any storage that blocks walls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to leave during treatment?
Often no. If a product requires it, the technician will tell you how long to stay out.
Should I clean before the visit?
Light cleaning helps, but do not remove evidence such as droppings before the technician sees it.
