The practical answer
Tell the pest operator before moving appliances from a property with cockroach activity. Ask what inspection and treatment advice applies to those items. Do not assume a clean-looking outside surface means there are no insects in inaccessible spaces.
The move creates a handover between sites
Explain which items will move, their destination and the removal date. Appliance connections and dismantling need the appropriate trade. The operator should distinguish what can be assessed from what remains hidden, rather than promise that a quick external application guarantees an item is pest-free.
What to do before the visit
- Keep affected items identifiable for assessment.
- Coordinate the visit before packing prevents access.
- Tell the removalist about the agreed handling plan without making unsupported clearance claims.
Questions that define the work
- Which items can be inspected under this scope?
- Is any treatment or follow-up needed at the destination?
- Who handles appliance disconnection and reconnection?
What happens next?
Retain the findings and any limitations with the moving records. If insects appear at the new property, provide that history to the operator. Avoid transferring household pesticides with food or applying products inside appliance compartments yourself.
