Know what the provider expects
Ask when activity may still be seen, what should not be cleaned, and when the next visit occurs. Different methods create different post-treatment instructions.
Record sightings with date, room and location. A captured specimen is more useful than a vague note that someone felt bitten.
Use monitors for a defined question
Interceptors can help detect movement around isolated bed legs when installed correctly. They are monitoring tools, not a stand-alone eradication claim.
Keep bedding off the floor and beds away from walls if that is part of the agreed monitoring setup. Check on a consistent schedule.
Escalate with evidence
Contact the provider sooner if activity appears in a previously clear room, preparation could not be completed, or re-entry instructions were not followed.
At the planned review, compare the original map with new observations and agree the next action in writing.
Sources and further checks
Open the source before acting on information that may change, including council services, prices, tenancy rules and product labels.
