What a technician typically checks
A pest control technician typically identifies the pest, looks for where it is entering, nesting or feeding, checks moisture and food sources, and then explains the treatment and prevention options for that specific pest.
Before the visit
Note where and when you see activity, keep a photo or a sealed sample if it is safe to do so, and avoid spraying heavily right before an inspection, which can scatter some pests and make them harder to find.
Frequently asked questions
