How do you choose the right exterminator? All do the same thing, and use the same products, right? Wrong! An experienced Exterminator can utilize the best methods to eliminate your problem, while causing the least amount of disruption in your life, and the exisiting lives of pets, plants and common insects. Use the following tips for selecting a qualified pest professional:
1. Ask friends and neighbours to recommend pest control companies they have used successfully and how satisfied they were with the service.
2. Be wary of the operator who comes to your home uninvited and offers to give your house a free inspection for pests. He or she may try to scare you into authorizing immediate and costly treatments.
3. If a sizable amount of money is involved, get bids from several pest control firms.
4. Don't rush a decision. Since you are paying for professional knowledge, look for someone whose judgment you can trust.
5. Before signing a contract, be sure to fully understand the nature of the pest to be exterminated, the extent of the infestation, and the work necessary to solve the problem.
6. Find out if the pest control company has liability insurance to cover any damages to your house
7. If a guarantee is given, know what it covers, how long it lasts, what you must do to keep it in force, and what kind of continuing control, prevention and management are necessary.
9. Buy value, not price. Beware of bargains that sound too good to be true.
