What is required before a registered company can commence work on a contract related to wood destroying pests?

Before a registered company can commence work on a contract related to wood destroying pests, it is essential for a licensed Branch 3 Field Representative or Operator to conduct an inspection. This requirement ensures that the treatment plan is based on an accurate assessment of the pest issue at hand. The inspection helps identify the presence and extent of wood-destroying insects, assess damage, and determine appropriate control measures, which are critical for effective pest management and providing the consumer with a clear understanding of the necessary services.

By having a licensed individual conduct this inspection, the company complies with regulatory standards designed to protect consumers and ensure that pest control services are administered effectively and safely. While agreements, approvals from authorities, and signed contracts may also be important elements of the process, the primary legal and procedural step that must be completed before any work begins is the inspection by a qualified representative.
