Separate treatment from repair
Do not apply sealant, foam or tape to the suspected entrance. Avoid opening nearby fittings or entering the void to find the nest. Record the route from a safe position and explain its location when booking.
Plan the later repair
Ask the technician when the area can be checked and whether building work is appropriate after the activity is managed. Required ventilation and the condition of the surface also matter. A clear sequence lets the pest assessment guide repairs instead of treating a building opening as proof that sealing alone will solve the problem.
Let repair contractors know about activity
If a roofer or joiner is already booked, explain the suspected nest and ask how the work should be coordinated. A trade attending unaware may disturb the area. Keep the pest assessment and repair timing connected rather than giving separate contractors conflicting instructions.
