An unfamiliar insect
Take a photograph when you can do so safely. Note the room, surface, approximate size, and time of day. A description of the location can be as useful as a guessed name.

Not sure which pest you have?
You do not need to identify a pest before describing a problem.
A useful general assessment starts with what you have seen, where it happens, and how often it returns, then separates routine household concerns from issues requiring a specialist service.
What to look for.
An unfamiliar insect
Take a photograph when you can do so safely. Note the room, surface, approximate size, and time of day. A description of the location can be as useful as a guessed name.
Activity that keeps returning
Record whether the same signs appear in one place or several. Include changes after rain, cleaning, moving stored items, or previous treatment.
Several different concerns
List each separately. Insects around a porch, damage to wood, and scratching overhead may need different inspections rather than one broad treatment.
A general household pest agreement should list covered pests and areas. Ask whether the scope includes interior rooms, the exterior perimeter, garages, and follow-up visits.
The label alone does not establish what will be inspected or treated.
Termites, bed bugs, rodents, mosquito work, and wildlife can have separate inspection or treatment requirements. Request a clear explanation when a concern falls outside the general service and a separate proposal is needed.
Integrated pest management combines evidence about the pest with the conditions supporting it. A recommendation may involve food storage, moisture control, entry-point repair, monitoring, or a targeted treatment. The choice should follow the findings.
Ask how success will be measured and which maintenance steps are yours to arrange. A building repair, drainage problem, or inaccessible shared space can affect the result even when a pest treatment is completed.
Choose a plan that fits the property
Explain whether the address is a house, apartment, rental, or managed property. Include access arrangements and any spaces that cannot be entered.
Tell our technician about children, pets, stored food, and areas used for work or play.
If recurring service is proposed, review covered pests, visit frequency, return-visit conditions, cancellation terms, and the process for reporting a new issue.
These details make it possible to compare plans without relying on a vague promise of complete protection.

Common questions.
General pest assessment: scope, preparation, and follow-up.
Yes. Choose “Not sure yet” and describe the evidence, room, and timing. Identification can be part of the assessment.
No. Covered pests and specialist exclusions should be listed in the agreement.
That depends on the findings and your property. Ask what a one-time visit covers and what additional benefit a recurring arrangement provides.
