While finding a pest(s) in your home can be stressful, taking the time to find a pest control company that’s right for you is crucial. Here is a simple guide so you know what to look for.
Pest Control: What to Look for
1)
Trustworthy
Having a pest control company you can rely on is important. Some ways to research this is word of mouth, Google reviews, or customer references. The Better Business Bureau or the state pesticide regulatory office often have useful information to know if a pest control company offers quality services.
2)
Value
A low price is not always the best option. And vice versa, a high price may not offer the best quality. It’s best to get quotes from several pest control companies and take into account the other points on this list to find the best value for the best price.
3)
What types of methods are used
If highly toxic chemicals are the first (and only) option, they may not be following an Integrated Pest management approach. The application as well as what kind of products are used is important to ask each company while researching the best companies for you.
4)
Training
The mark of a good company is how they take care of their employees. If they put time and training into taking care of their workers, they’re likely to be a high quality business you can trust.
5)
Safety
Does the company use proper equipment? Do they have safety procedures? Proper application of chemicals, especially in pest control, is extremely important to not only you, but your neighbors as well.
Take time to find a company you feel safe with and can trust. After all, it’s your home and your family you’re looking to protect. Researching several different companies and comparing options is extremely useful in finding a quality pest control company that will work with you in resolving pest issues.
