Pest control for Lothian holiday lets: building a handover routine

A holiday-let handover gives an opportunity to spot pest signs while rooms are accessible. A consistent routine helps managers investigate a concern before another guest arrives, without treating every minor mark as an infestation.

Use a factual check

Look at accessible food storage, bed areas and obvious building defects. Record unfamiliar insects, damaged packaging or droppings with a room and date. Keep the evidence available for identification and avoid moving suspect items to another property.

Coordinate any follow-up

Give the contractor access arrangements and the booking schedule. Ask for clear findings and preparation instructions for the selected approach. Record repairs and any ongoing monitoring so different cleaners or property managers receive the same information instead of relying on a verbal handover that can miss important details.

Preserve the handover trail

If a concern is reported after a guest stay, record it separately from routine cleaning observations. The timeline helps inspection without proving the guest caused the issue. Pass on photographs, room details and completed actions to the next property manager so the concern is assessed consistently.
