Pest
& Termite Control
What to look for when

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.

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.

After interviewing and running an
extensive background check the National Association
Against Consumer Fraud has awarded the following

Scientific
Pest Control & Termite
8760
Summerville Place
Orlando, FL 32819
Phone (407) 894-5662
www.scientificpestcontrol.net
Our
company is a small local company servicing Orange,
Osceola, Lake Volusia, Seminole Polk and Sumter
counties in Central Florida. Because of our customer
service, we are able to retain clients for an
average of about six times longer than the average
pest control company. One reason is delivered
results. The next is guaranteeing your service no
matter what the cost is. Delivering service retreats
on same day or next day service is vital to our
success. Explaining in detail our guarantee and what
the customer should expect from our service is the
most important reason why you should utilize our
service. We created a website full of important
questions a consumer should ask when hiring a
company @scientificpestcontrol.net. You should
utilize our service because of our contract. We've
had attorneys ask us why we don't have more
exclusion and why our contract is so beneficial to
the consumer and why it doesn't protect the company
and our answer is simple. Our contract was written
by our customers because we asked them what they
would want in a termite contract. If you succeed at
every treatment you do, there won't be a legal
problem. There won't be a cause for concern if you
simply get rid of your client's problem.
