What are they treating for? That determines what the exterminator should do. If the exterminator starts randomly spraying all your baseboards fire him immediately. It doesn't do any good and puts excess chemicals in your house. The only time baseboard spraying does any good is along the exterior walls. Clear some of the clutter out from under your sinks. Bugs like to hide and nest near water, and move along pipes through the home. If you have cockroaches or ants in your kitchen, empty as many cupboards as possible, and leave enough room for the guy to get to the cupboards. Same thing in the bathrooms. If you don't have roaches and ants in the cabinets, just clear out as much clutter as possible. The more of your home he can see and inspect, the better he can do.
Pest control service should be limited to treating specific problems indoors and only using baits as a preventive measure. Outside a barrier treatment should be done to prevent bugs from getting in in the future. Make sure to advise him of allergies, pets, children and ask any questions you may have.Pest control coming how do you prepare your home for them?

Id just keep everything away from the baseboards if they are comign inside aswell as keeping the perimiter of ur home clear of anything that he might have to spray around. the more space there is the easier it is for the techs and the more he can spray; moer effectivnessPest control coming how do you prepare your home for them?
The previous suggestion is good... just keep everything out of the way, and avoid having the house cluttered when they get there. Here's another suggestion to keep pests out of the house in the first place:
I have a lot of problems with various kinds of pests in my area. The first spring I lived in my current house, there were bugs everywhere on the outside of the building and inside as well.
Through research, I learned that many insects HATE lemongrass, so in the early spring I put about 10-15 drops of essential oil of lemongrass into a spray bottle full of water, and spray around the outside of all my doors and windows. It may also help to spray around the base of the walls.
This has the added benefit of giving your house a fresh smell.
