## What to know first
- Record the room and time of each sighting.

- Give management specific locations to inspect.

- Ask how control and entry repairs fit together.

## Make a useful record
A short record is more useful than guessing how many mice are in the building. Note the date, room and type of evidence. A photo taken without disturbing droppings or touching an animal can help explain the concern.

Include less obvious places such as the cupboard around a pipe, a pantry corner or the base of an entry door. Do not move appliances or open inaccessible building spaces simply to look for more evidence.

## Bring the building into the conversation
An apartment is connected to other spaces by plumbing, wiring and service routes. Tell the super or manager what you found and ask who can arrange access to shared areas. A pest visit and a maintenance repair may need different people.

Avoid assuming that a particular neighbor caused the problem. Share locations and dates so the inspection can follow observable evidence.

## Ask for a plan you can follow
Before work starts, ask where monitoring will happen, how repeat activity will be recorded and which openings need repairs. Find out whether the quote covers one unit or shared spaces as well.

Keep the instructions after the visit. If sightings continue, report what changed and where fresh evidence appeared. That information helps distinguish an unresolved route from activity still being monitored.
