Describe what you’re seeingStart with what you can observe
A photo or short description can help a contractor decide what to inspect. Identification comes before treatment.
In a rental
Tell your landlord or property manager in writing and keep a copy. Include the room, date, and any photos. Ask how access and preparation will be coordinated.
Before treatment
Ask the provider to identify the pest, explain the proposed plan, and give written preparation and re-entry instructions. For pesticide work, verify the required Ontario licences.
Across Ottawa
