Plain-language preparation instructions for bed bug, cockroach and mouse treatments, in English and Spanish, each with a line for residents who need help.

Print the sheet for the pest and language you need, write your office's contact information in the box, and give it to the resident with enough notice to prepare. Your pest management provider may ask for more or less than these steps for the method it uses; follow its instructions where they differ, and edit the Word version to match.
