●        Clear out kitchen tops and remove utensils, kitchen appliances, cutlery, plates, cups, and glasses, spice holders, and other food containers from your cabinets. In case some of the appliances cannot be moved, tightly secure them with a piece of cloth and a plastic wrap.

●        Seal the waterspout of your filter with a plastic cover and surround it with plastic material if possible.

●        In case you own pets, treat them with flea and tick treatment, tightly conceal your aquarium with plastic and ensure that your fishes have adequate food (you can think about an auto feeding device). Pets are sensitive to chemicals so it would be better if you drop them off to your neighbor’s.

●        If you own any potted plants, they are best left in the open or a balcony that won’t be getting sprayed.

●        Protect your tooth kit, floss, brushes, razors under a plastic wrap. To be honest, it’s better to replace your soaps and detergents after the treatment.

Things to do after a pest control

Once the process is done, wait for a few days to let the chemicals seep in across every nook and cranny of your space. Discard any left over food and do not clean immediately as it may hamper the effectiveness of the treatment. Avoid leaving any paper around as it acts as a source of food for many insects. Lastly, protect yourself with a pair of gloves while handling freshly sprayed objects and unwrapping items.
