Furniture preparation depends on the pest and method. Ask which items need access and avoid unnecessary or unsafe heavy lifting.

The practical answer
Ask for a preparation list specific to the pest and planned work before moving furniture. Some tasks need access to edges or storage; others do not require clearing whole rooms. Do not lift heavy items or disconnect appliances simply because a generic checklist says to do so.
Preparation should match the inspection and treatment areas
Tell the operator about large fixed items, fragile belongings and physical access limitations. If an area cannot be reached, ask how that affects the assessment and scope. Clearing unrelated cupboards can waste effort while leaving the actual problem area inaccessible.
What to do before the visit
- Identify the rooms and items the operator needs to inspect.
- Arrange help for any instructed heavy movement.
- Keep contaminated items separate rather than moving them between rooms.
Questions that define the work
- Which furniture must move for this method?
- What can remain in place?
- How will inaccessible areas be recorded or revisited?
What happens next?
Ask when items can be returned and what cleaning is appropriate. Keep any limitations with the treatment record. If the planned access changes, tell the operator before attendance so the visit is not based on an unsuitable preparation assumption.
