Calling a reliable pest control company should be at the top of your list if you discover your home has a problem with rodents, and it’s something that should be done anyway when moving into a new home. However, many homeowners wait until they notice tangible signs of rodents or other pests before calling a pest control expert. It may surprise you to realize that food that can feed about 20 million people is destroyed by rodents each year.
Choosing the right pest control company and getting the job done the first time properly needn’t be too much of a challenge if you follow these tips.
1) Training and Experience
In many states, professional exterminators must take and pass an exam. Ask your pest control company about their training program – how much experience their employees have, and how much training.
Experience means expertise and reliability, and if you choose a company whose mouse exterminators are properly trained to do the job, you can be more assured the job will be done properly and you won’t have a repeat of the pest problem any time soon.
A good place to start when trying to find a good company is asking friends and family, who are usually quick to recommend a company with which they have had a positive experience. Of course, the Internet has also made it easy to look at comments and reviews from customers. If possible, ask the company for names and contact information for previous customers.
2) Safety
You should verify that you and your family and any pets won’t be harmed by the products used by the pest control company. If your home has a severe infestation, you may want to pack the family into the car and head somewhere for a few days while the exterminators do their job.
3) Expert Advice and Value for Money
Regular maintenance can help to keep your home pest free and a safe environment for you and your family. The right company can look after your needs for years and offer helpful advice to help prevent another infestation.
4) Following the Basics
Of course, you want to work with a pest control company that offers good value for money and will rid your home of pests safely and efficiently. However, you should also look for a company that makes efforts to protect the environment, and has a reliable, experienced and knowledgeable pest control technicians on their team. Make sure you obtain a written estimate for the work that is going to be carried out and make sure you understand the charges and exactly what is included, as well as any guarantee for the work done.
