Practical answers

Questions before you request help

What if the signs match more than one service?

Choose the closest option or Not sure. The right route can be confirmed after the signs and affected area are discussed.

Does one sighting always mean a larger infestation?

Not necessarily. The extent depends on the pest and other signs, which is why inspection can be an important first step.

Can I use a shop-bought product first?

Always follow the label and never mix products. When identification is uncertain or the setting is sensitive, ask for suitable advice before treatment.
