Even if a pest problem is urgent, taking the time to find a reputable pesticide company to address the problem can save you a lot of headaches.
Qualifications and Experience
Any professional company you chose to work with should have up-to-date licensing in your state and be able to provide proof of it if asked. They should also be experienced in dealing with the pest you’re having issues with. It may also be worth asking how long the company has been in business and whether older employees train newer hires.
Reputation
Any company you choose should have a reputation for good, effective service when treating the pest you’re concerned about. Asking friends and neighbors will give you a more honest sense of the company than any advertising they put out. The Better Business Bureau or the pesticide regulatory office for your state will also have information on any recent violations, complaints, or unresolved issues. It may also be useful to ask the company directly for customer references.
Contacts and Value
Will you be required to sign any kind of long-term contract by using their services? If so, what are the long-term costs that come with it? Many companies will provide an estimate in writing before anything official is signed, so getting written estimates from multiple companies will allow you to compare both rates and services. Before you make a final decision, ask what kind of guarantee the company can offer on their work.
