A better customer explanation
Use the handout to show what was observed, explain why confirmation matters, and set expectations for a follow-up inspection instead of promising a one-visit outcome.
Use the observation in your workflow
- Treatment tracking — Keep application details and follow-up notes connected to the property.
- Customer records — Keep photos, service history, and technician notes in one place.
- Service scheduling — Schedule return scouting and recurring service work without losing the thread.
