When comparing pest control services in Newcastle, check that the technician is appropriately licensed in NSW and has experience with the pest affecting your home. Ask for a written quote explaining the treatment, products, preparation required, follow-up visits and any warranty terms. You should also confirm how long people and pets need to stay away after treatment and whether the products are suitable for children, pets or sensitive occupants. If you rent, notify your property manager, and contact the NSW Environment Protection Authority or a licensed professional if you need help checking treatment requirements.
