Pest Control for Landlords
For landlords, tenants and businesses, a clear record of what has been seen can be just as important as the treatment itself. This guide explains what to note and what to avoid.
Good pest control advice should be calm, clear and evidence-led. Take notes, avoid spreading affected items and keep access clear for inspection.
What to check first
- Where activity is seen and when it happens
- Nearby food, warmth, moisture or access points
- Whether neighbours, tenants or staff have noticed the same issue
- Any recent travel, works, waste changes or second-hand furniture
