If you’re looking for a pest control company to eliminate an infestation in your home, it’s important to make sure that you’re making the right choice for your household as well as your budget. The company you choose will have a significant impact on the cost and effectiveness of your service. Below are four questions to ask a pest control professional.

What to Ask Your Pest Control Company

1. How Long Have You Been in Business?

If a company has been established in your area for a long time, you can be certain that they provide reliable service, since they’ve been in business for a while. Second, they have the experience required to effectively target the pests in your area, which makes them better equipped to protect your home than someone who is new to the business.

2. What Kind of Treatment Do I Need?

They are the experts, so they will need to tell you what type of treatment you need. They should be able to tell you how they will locate the infestation and how they will treat it. For example, they should be able to tell you how severe the infestation is, how far it has spread, and what stage of life the pests are in (larva, pupae, adult, etc.). Armed with this information, they can make a custom plan to remove the infestation.

3. What Should I Expect?

In most cases, an exterminator should be able to tell you how quickly they can remove the infestation. They can tell you how likely the infestation is to return, and provide advice for preventing future infestations. For example, they may recommend sealing up entrances to the home or having a preventive spray done routinely in the future.

4. Do You Provide Estimates?

You don’t want any unpleasant surprises when you get the bill, or when they don’t include a service you thought they would provide. Ask for a written estimate; they should be willing to provide one. This estimate should include the scope of work (which outlines precisely what they will do) and the cost of the work.
