Review entry and food sources
Check whether doors, pipe openings or shared voids were identified during the original visit. Food waste, pet food and damaged cupboard packaging can also sustain activity. Discuss which proofing work was completed and which remained a recommendation.
Compare old and new activity
Keep dates and locations of fresh signs. In flats, new activity may involve movement from connected properties. Ask whether monitoring, neighbouring access or a revised treatment plan is appropriate. Prevention depends on understanding why the property remains accessible, as well as reducing the activity already inside.
Separate fresh signs from old marks
A repair made after the previous visit gives a useful reference point. If new gnawing appears on that repaired surface, photograph it and record the date. An unchanged old mark is less informative, so keep your reports focused on evidence that has actually developed.
