AGREE THE PLAN BY PHONE
Then carry out the agreed treatment on the visit.
Tell us where the activity has been seen, which rooms are involved, and whether there are children, pets, food areas or shared service routes to consider. We agree the treatment approach, preparation and price by phone before arranging the treatment appointment.
Insect monitors
Clean sticky monitors can help show where activity is concentrated without putting a pest image in front of you.
Targeted application
Where appropriate, treatment is focused on approved crevices and surfaces, not across food or work surfaces.
COLD FOGGING AND TARGETED TREATMENT
Each part of the treatment has a purpose.
Our usual cockroach plan includes cold fogging alongside targeted gel and monitoring. Cold fogging disperses fine droplets; it supports the targeted work and does not replace finding the activity routes. It is different from gas fumigation.
We explain the planned steps by phone, including preparation and time away from the rooms. If the property or product instructions make fogging unsuitable, we explain the alternative before proceeding.
