Service planning
What the provider should assess
A useful plan starts with the pest, the exact activity area, property access, and the conditions that may be supporting the problem.
Confirm the source
The provider should identify the beetle group, wood type, moisture conditions, and whether evidence appears active before discussing localized or broader treatment.
Review the scope
Ask which areas, treatment steps, preparation, repairs, cleanup, and follow-up are included in the provider quote.
Monitor afterward
Follow the provider’s instructions and report fresh activity in the areas identified during inspection.
Prevention
Reduce conditions that support repeat activity
Control excess moisture, inspect unfinished wood and incoming materials, and monitor cleaned surfaces for fresh powder or holes.
Prevention steps depend on the confirmed pest and property. Ask which changes are useful now, which should wait until treatment is complete, and whether repairs fall outside the pest-control scope.
Safety and preparation
Old exit holes can remain after activity ends. Do not assume every hole requires fumigation or that surface treatment reaches every gallery.
Before service, mention children, pets, allergies, tenants, food areas, medical concerns, access limitations, and any products already applied.
