General Cleaning and Organization

- Clean: Thoroughly clean the treatment area, including floors, countertops, furniture, and storage areas, to remove food residues, grease, and debris that attract pests.

Special Considerations
We always consider such things as the presence of sensitive items, electronic equipment, or fragile belongings that require protection or special handling during treatment.


Cover or Protect
Our technicians will cover or protect sensitive items, such as electronics, artwork, and furniture, with tarps, plastic sheets, or cloth covers to prevent damage from treatment products.

Ventilation: Open windows and doors or use ventilation fans to improve air circulation during and after treatment to minimize exposure to treatment products and allow odors to dissipate.
