The practical answer
Send photographs that are already safe to obtain; do not approach a nest or enter a roof to make an enquiry. A close image of an insect can help identification, while a wider image explains access. Neither guarantees a final diagnosis or a fixed price.
Context can be more useful than a dramatic close-up
Tell the operator the room, approximate height and when the sign appeared. For damage or entry gaps, include a wider view if it is safely available. Avoid sharing unnecessary personal documents or identifiable household information in the background.
What to do before the visit
- Keep original images rather than heavily filtered versions.
- Label separate locations clearly.
- Include the suburb and a plain description of the concern.
Questions that define the work
- Can these images help identify the pest?
- What remains uncertain until an onsite visit?
- What access details would help scope the assessment?
What happens next?
Ask whether the proposed price is an estimate or an assessed quote. If new signs appear, send a dated update instead of assuming the old description still fits. Photographs should support the visit, not replace it where access or identification is uncertain.
