How to Select a Reliable Pest Control Company

Admin • January 23, 2023

Though your household pests can be controlled through multiple preventative measures, you’ll need to hire a pest control company for an extensive infestation.

While selecting a pest control company, consider evaluating several of them based on the factors discussed in this guide.

The License of the Company

Most local or state agencies provide state pest control licenses. Get in touch with your state’s pesticide regulatory agency to ensure that the pest control company’s license is valid if required in your current state.

Moreover, check whether the employees of the company are bonded. This means that the company will reimburse you for any damage or loss caused by the service provider.

A Detailed Discussion

The company you decide to partner with must willingly discuss the pest treatment for your home after an in-depth home inspection. Moreover, the professionals should recommend an effective control program that focuses on the type of pest to be eliminated, the problem’s seriousness, the chosen pesticide, and its application techniques.

The Company’s Affiliation with a Certified Pest Control Association

Local, state, and national professional associations keep pest control companies informed about the latest advancements in control methods, research, safety, regulations, and training. The members agree to follow a set code of ethics which shows their concern for quality service.

Property owners and the company they hire should mutually agree on the contract. Make sure that all your safety concerns are considered regarding the type of pesticide to be used, treatment near fish and wildlife, resident pets, age of the occupants, and sensitivities.

Pesticide Application

When hiring exterminators for pest control, ask them to use the least toxic chemicals. Check the label of the pesticide for precautionary warnings.

Assess the results and if you feel unsatisfied with the service, contact the company’s representatives or the state’s pesticide regulatory agency . Be a wise consumer and ask questions regarding the treatment until you’re sure you understand all aspects of the process
