Property ownership comes with many things to worry about. One of the most problematic being pests!

In addition to causing structural damage to homes and office buildings, pests are also guaranteed to give all your property occupants the absolute creeps.

There are few bigger turn-offs than being an environment that is not carefully maintained by a bug exterminator. Whether it is your own home, a rental property, or even an office space, pest control needs to be highly prioritized.

2. Seek Answers

Do not be afraid to be forthright in your search!

Pest control companies offer a wide array of services, but many will specialize and excel in specific areas. Ask, ask, and ask again what types of experience they have in dealing with your specific problem

Ask what success they have had, and don’t hesitate to even ask for referrals.

The more you ask, the more confident you can be in knowing you are in the right hands.

And especially important for families and pet owners, be sure to ask if their services are kid and pet-friendly and if there are any precautionary steps you should take.

Finding yourself a great bed bug exterminator, termite exterminator, or whatever your case may call for, won’t come without some interrogative work on your end.

3. Certification

Make sure the company you use is properly certified and licensed. This is a very important factor in making sure you are using a safe and reliable exterminator.

You can double check this by asking them what kinds of licensing they have and if it is still current.

4. Contracts

Many companies use long-term contracts as part of their services. It is important to be aware of the contract terms, but don’t let a contract scare you away.

Contracts can be beneficial for many reasons. One being, the company takes control of setting up appointments with you. This means there is one less thing on your plate to worry about.

Some companies even offer free follow-up services. This means that if you’re still seeing pests after their service, they will come back as many times as it takes to make sure those pests are gone for good.

5. Price

Finding the right balance of price and quality is critical. Most companies offer free quotes and will talk you through their pricing.

Talk to the company about your budget and the services you need. They will be able to help you find what services will best fit your needs.
