How to Choose a Pest-Control Provider for Your Property

Record where the signs were found, when they appeared, whether there has been an earlier treatment and which areas are affected. Provide property type, access and any relevant children, pets, food preparation or sensitive occupants. Avoid touching wildlife, droppings, nests or unidentified materials.

Ask who will perform the work, whether the provider has the qualifications or authorisations applicable to that treatment and jurisdiction, which pest and areas are covered, and whether an inspection is included. Request exclusions, price basis and follow-up terms in writing.

For a subcontracted booking arranged by Dirt2Tidy, the subcontracted provider performs treatment; confirm the actual provider and accepted scope before booking.

For any proposed pesticide or other product, obtain the exact product name and follow its label and the treating provider's instructions. Ask about preparation, occupants, pets, food, ventilation, re-entry and disposal. This page does not state application directions, treatment schedules or exposure guidance.

Routine cleaning does not diagnose or treat a pest problem. Pest treatment is a separately arranged service with its own provider, method, price and terms. Do not assume treatment is included in a domestic or end-of-lease clean or that a particular inspection or outcome is guaranteed.
