While you may be able to handle some pest problems yourself, many require the help of professionals. In these circumstances, it’s important to make sure you’re hiring qualified experts. All Service of New Braunfels, TX, provides some questions to ask a company to help you make a pest control decision.

Questions for a Pest Control Company

How Long Have You Been in Business in the Area?

If the company has been in the area for several years, they’re more likely to understand the pest problems within your community. You’ll also be assured that they’ll be around in the future and can stand by their work. With this information, you can contact organizations like the Better Business Bureau®, the State Department of Agriculture, or the State Attorney General’s Office to see whether the company has had any complaints filed against them for the misuse of pesticides.

Are All of Your Technicians Licensed?

pest-control-new-braunfels-txEvery pest control company is required to have all their technicians licensed. This will ensure that the applicators are using pesticides that have been approved by the EPA and are properly trained to handle the issue. If you wish to further verify their licensing, you can contact your State Department of Agriculture. Additionally, ask them to provide you with a copy of their pest control license and labels of the pesticides they use. They should already provide you with credentials and should be ready to provide copies of labels. This will allow you to ensure the pesticides are being applied correctly.

What Treatments Will You Be Using?

Before they apply pest control treatments to your home, you should ask them to explain what they’ll be using. If they are familiar with the area, they’ll know how to treat your problem. This will also allow you to look up the treatments so you’re confident they won’t be harmful to your family and pets. Also, companies are required to use treatments that have been approved by the EPA and the State Department of Agriculture. If they claim to have a “secret formula,” that’s a red flag.

Will My Family Be Safe in Our Home During Treatment?

Pesticides used in some remedies, such as drywood termite treatment, require the residents to vacate the home while they get rid of the pests. If this type of treatment will be used in your home, the company should tell you well in advance. 

Choosing the right pest control company to take care of an infestation is an important decision. You want to make sure that the technicians are qualified to perform the job — for quality and safety.
