Selecting a Professional Pest Controller is crucial regarding the quality of service you want for your home or building. Finding and choosing a pest controller who provides a safe and effective service can be daunting. Your enquiries should concentrate on your particular pest problems, and whether a reliable company conducts the service you are interested in, in case a problem arises in the future. You will also need to investigate the level of expertise, insurance cover, any warranties applicable and the safety aspects employed.
Do Your Research
To find the most suitable service that meets your needs and interests, you will need to obtain several quotes and check out each company.
Initially, you will need to know how long the business has been established. Do they have a good reputation in the industry and area? Are they a member of a Pest Control Association, such as the AEPMA?
Ask Questions
To explore each company’s knowledge and understanding, do not be shy to ask a range of questions.
For example, when inquiring about termites, ask about the company’s different treatment options, the pesticides the company uses, and how toxic or safe they are. Compare the feedback and information you receive on the methods of each company. Which company seems the more professional?
Ensure the company has all insurance and inspection reports.
Be Present
The best way to know about each business is to see their work. If possible, be present during your property’s pest inspection. Take notice of the general presentation of the inspector. Were they wearing appropriate company uniforms? Did the pest controller arrive in a tidy motor vehicle? Was the equipment being used working correctly and of high quality. How thorough was the pest inspection? Were you left wondering how everything went or were you presented with informative documentation regarding the inspection findings and treatment proposals? Did the pest controller adequately outline the alternatives, so you are confident they knew their subject matter? Remember to make notes so you can compare later.
Check Qualifications
Find out about the termite inspector’s qualifications, certificates, and experience. Is the pest controller a termite specialist? Have they got a current pest control license (not a trainee permit)? How much experience have they had treating termites. You should cite the pest controller State Government issued pest control license.
Ask Questions
Ask questions regarding how the company runs their business. Is the owner also the operator? Does the company use employees or sub-contractors? Be cautious of companies that use sub-contractors as problems often occur in the marketplace where sub-contractors are obliged to pay for the supply of pesticides but do not accept responsibility if the service proves to be inadequate later on.
Be cautious of companies offering a long-term warranty. Some companies provide 10-year and even 20-year warranties. Be careful if you come across a company that provides this because this commits you for that period meaning you most probably have to pay for regular inspections and other work regardless of whether you want it or not. Such long-term warranties are often unrealistic and unreliable.
