If you have unwelcome pests in your home, you likely want to remove them as quickly as possible. However, before contacting a pest control company, you must ensure you're getting the right team for the job. When speaking with prospects, ask them the following.

What Should You Ask a Pest Control Company?

1. Are You Licensed?

In North Carolina, pest control professionals must obtain a structural pest control license or work for a certified licensee before they can serve the general public. To receive their credentials, they must complete mandated on-site training and pass examinations. Working with a company that's licensed ensures they have the training and expertise to handle anything from household pests to wood destroying organisms without neglecting safety standards.

2. Do You Have Proof of Insurance

Having this documentation financially protects you against any accidents, injuries, or damage that could occur on your property while they're treating your pest problem. It also shows that the company is professional and reliable.

3. What Can You Tell Me About My Infestation?

A professional pest control technician should have enough knowledge of household pests to answer any of your questions. For instance, they should know how termites breed and how bedbugs can infiltrate your house. Their experience will help them identify the source of your infestation and provide you with a viable treatment to clear them from your home. If the technician can't answer your questions or seek the answers they don't know off-hand, they may not be competent enough to tackle your problem.

4. Do You Have References?

If a pest control company has no references from previous customers, they may be too new and inexperienced. Check for customer reviews online to gauge their skills and professionalism. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau or ask friends and neighbors who may have used their services.
