To help you get started, here are some questions to ask your pest control service before bringing them on board:
Have you dealt with pest problems like mine before?
A company may be good, but if they haven’t dealt with pest problems or infestation like yours, they may not be the best option for you. Find a company that has a track record of successfully exterminating the type of pests you are dealing with. This is the only guarantee that they have what it takes to handle your problem.
How long have you been in business?
This question allows you to determine two things: first, the experience level of the company, and second, how good they are at their job. A company that offers mediocre services is likely to go out of business than one that provides stellar services. So, if a company has survived in the market for a long time, chances are they are doing something right. Besides, it means that their technicians have local pest control experience and knowledge and that you can trust them to be around in the future, to stand behind their work.
Can I speak to two or three of your past clients?
What better way to learn about a company’s services than from the horse’s mouth? Since the past clients have dealt with the pest control service before, they can offer you incredible insights about what to expect from the company. In addition to this, you can also check out the company’s website for past client testimonials as well as read third-party reviews to have a feel of what others are saying about them.
