When should inspection tags be placed in relation to treatments?

The correct response indicates that inspection tags should be placed after the treatment is completed. This approach ensures that the tag accurately reflects the results of the treatment and provides a record of the intervention that was performed. By placing the tag afterward, it signifies that the area has been treated and can further detail the type of treatment applied, the date, and any follow-up actions or inspections that may be necessary.

Placing the inspection tag during the treatment might lead to confusion or misinterpretation, as the status of the treatment is not fully completed and documented at that point. Additionally, putting the tag before treatment could inaccurately signal that an area has been treated when it has not yet been addressed. Finally, only using tags if pests are found would not provide a comprehensive record of pest control efforts, as proactive treatments may also occur in areas where pests are not immediately evident but could become a problem in the future.
