Confirm the requirement first
Check the lease and agent’s written request rather than assuming a treatment is required for every tenancy. Share the requested pest and documentation.
- Lease or agent requirement
- Flea treatment or another specified pest
- Vacant or occupied property
Coordinate with the move
Ask how treatment timing fits with cleaning, access and returning keys. The operator confirms preparation and when the property can be re-entered.
- Handover date
- Access and key arrangements
- Carpet cleaning schedule if relevant
Request the right record
If the agent requires a receipt or service record, confirm what the operator provides before booking. No bond return or tenancy outcome is guaranteed.
- Name for the receipt
- Property address
- Required treatment and completion date
Common questions
Does every rental need pest treatment?
Do not assume that it does. Check the applicable lease and written agent requirement.
Can you provide a certificate?
Ask the operator what documentation is included and whether it meets the agent’s stated requirement.
Before booking, check the operator’s registration, relevant licence and quote scope. HealthyWA’s guide to choosing a pest management business.
