Out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, household pests will return unless you eliminate them. And usually, you need help to do this successfully.
Do you suspect that you have a pest problem? It is better to act sooner rather than later. The problem will get worse, and household pests often carry diseases you want to avoid.
A pest control company will be able to identify your pest control needs.
However, to ensure your wish of ‘pests be gone!’ is met, make sure you go with the right pest control service. Here are five tips for picking and choosing one.
1. Check Licenses
A pest control company should be trained, skilled, and licensed. States offer licenses that include passing laws, regulations, and other principles exams. A registered and certified company can tackle your pest control problem.
If you are unsure if you have a problem, it is still best to call a licensed company that can investigate further.
2. Discuss Insurance
You want to make sure the pest control company is also insured. Otherwise, you could be responsible for any injuries or damages that occur. Always ask to see a copy of the insurance and look elsewhere if they refuse to show you.
3. Their Treatment Approach
Pest control products vary. You want to make sure chemicals are not dangerous for pets or children. It is also great if they can be eco-friendly products or Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Ask what their plan is for your pest control needs. If you are not sure about their plan, ask another pest control company to compare options.
4. The Pest Control Company’s Reputation
A pest control company may look great on paper, but do they fulfill their promises? Always check customer reviews, ideally from independent websites. The Better Business Bureau is also a great website to check company scores.
5. Warranty Options
Household pests sometimes return, unfortunately. Ideally, the pest control company will get rid of pests and also prevent them from returning. They should also give you pest control suggestions.
You might need a second pest extermination service, as sometimes pests are stubborn. Or the company might not do a good job. So, you want to ensure you are covered for a second treatment!
Make sure the warranty is in writing. Be wary if a company does not guarantee success, even if it needs to do more than one treatment.
Pests Be Gone for Good!
If you follow these tips, you will find a reputable pest control company, so your wish for ‘pests be gone’ is kept. Pick a service that offers safe chemicals and has experience. They will be able to eliminate your pest control problem.
It is stressful to experience a pest problem, so do not make it worse by picking an unreliable company! A reliable pest control business will be upfront about licenses, insurance, and costs. Be wary of any company that is not, as you will have more surprises than the pests!
