Pest
Control
What to look for when
selecting an ethical Pest Control Company:
-
An
ethical company will look and act professionally
when coming into your house.
-
Look
for a company that has nice lettering on their
vehicles and technicians that are uniformed.
-
Look
for a company that's open to answering all of
your questions and educates you to prevent
further problems with pests.
-
Compare
prices and service. Remember, the cheapest isn't
always the best option.
-
Make
sure all the terms of the contract are
understood before any work is done. Make sure
the contract contains the company name on
stationary, length of service, price and what
services are to be performed.
-
Make
sure to ask your pest control company if you can
see their liability insurance to cover issues
like staining of carpet or accidental breakage.
-
Ask
to see proof of workers' compensation insurance
to protect you if someone is injured while
working on your property.
-
Always
make sure to get a written contract. The
contract should cover price, number of
treatments, and a full listing of chemicals that
will be used in your house.
-
Look
for a company that does criminal background
checks and drug testing on their employees.
-
Look
for a company that will show you their license
number and ID card from the Department of
Agriculture.

maintenance between visits, would you be willing
