Hiring a Pest Control Professional

Here are some tips for hiring a pest control professional.

1. First, be wary of exterminators who show up uninvited and offer a “free” inspection since they may use scare tactics to pressure you into authorizing costly treatments.
2. Always deal with a qualified and licensed pest management company.
3. Ask friends and neighbors to recommend companies they have used successfully and how satisfied they were with the service.
4. It’s also a good idea to get bids from several companies.
5. Ask about their training and their approach to pest control.
6. Don’t choose a company based on price alone… quality is the most important factor.
7. Before you sign a contract, get details on the extent of the infestation, the proposed work plan, and the number of visits that will be required to solve the problem.
8. Lastly, if you are offered a “guarantee,” look over what it covers, how long it lasts, and what you might have to do to keep it in force.
