Ask for item-specific advice
Separate questions about washable fabrics, delicate garments, electronics and furniture. Follow care labels and avoid applying insecticides to clothing or bedding unless explicitly permitted by the product and professional instructions.
Explain any limitations early
Tell the technician if you lack laundry facilities, cannot move heavy items or need help understanding the preparation sheet. Ask whether belongings should stay in the room or be contained. Practical instructions reduce unnecessary disposal and help the treatment reach relevant hiding places without spreading a suspected infestation around the property.
Ask before throwing items away
Disposal may not be necessary for every affected possession and moving items can create other problems. Discuss the item, material and condition first. If disposal is recommended, agree how it will be contained and removed without leaving it in shared corridors or carrying it uncovered through the building.
