Agree one reporting method
Record sightings with the date, room and a brief description. Keep food in secure containers and agree regular bin emptying. Avoid blaming a particular flatmate: access through building gaps can affect a clean property too.
Arrange coordinated access
Tell the provider which bedrooms and kitchen cupboards need checking and agree an inspection time. Mention pets and any earlier treatments. Do not move traps or monitoring points between rooms. A consistent household approach makes it easier to interpret activity and carry out agreed prevention work.
Plan for changing occupants
If a tenant or flatmate is moving out during treatment, tell the accommodation provider. Room access and household routines may change, and important instructions can be lost. Agree who keeps the reports and ensures the next occupant knows about any outstanding monitoring or repairs.
