The Most Important Factors to Consider When Choosing a Pest Control Service

If you’ve been shopping around for a pest control company, you’ve probably noticed that there are a lot of companies out there. That’s because pest bugs and animals aren’t just a nuisance. They can cause painful bites, spread diseases, damage belongings, and even destroy our homes. So, how do you choose the right pest-control company to protect your health and property? Here are the most important factors you should take into consideration when choosing a pest-control service.

Going Green

You’ve probably heard of companies going green but in the pest control industry “going green” has far-reaching implications. When a pest controller puts an emphasis on green solutions, everyone wins, especially you. Green solutions are not only great for reducing your global footprint, they help to protect your kids, your pets, and anyone who comes to visit your home. The last thing anyone needs is to replace one health threat with another.

How can you figure out if a pest control company is green? A good place to start is to ask them if they use Integrated Pest Management methods. IPM is the best foundation for smart, efficient, eco-friendly pest control service.

QualityPro

A great pest control plan should come with great service. The easiest and most reliable way to tell if a pest control company is going to give you high-quality service and effective pest control is to look for the QualityPro seal of approval. The QualityPro seal lets you know that the company you’re looking into has had rigorous auditing done by a trusted 3rd-party pest control authority. A technician from a QuailityPro-Certified company is more likely to show up on the day scheduled and at the time scheduled, wearing a clearly marked uniform, with the training and experience necessary to diagnose your problem and give you effective treatment options.

One-Time or Ongoing

One-time extermination is not good pest control. A good pest plan does not wait until you’ve already been suffering with pests problems before action is taken. Getting pests out of a home is also more costly than keeping them out. When choosing pest-control service, pick a plan that is ongoing and stops pests before they get into your home. If you’re already dealing with pest problems, extermination is the first step, but don’t stop there. Put a plan in place to stop pests in your yard and around your foundation perimeter–not inside your home.

Emergency Response

Pests can find a way past the best defensive barrier. If pests ever find a way into your home, it is important to have pest control service that comes with fast emergency service. It is no fun to wait days for your pest-control company to get to you. It is even better if the company you choose offers 24-hour emergency service.    

Highly-Rated

A great pest control company should have the great reviews to prove it. And, in this age of smartphones, it is pretty easy to find reviews. If a company has a high rating, you can expect consistent and reliable service from them. It isn’t easy maintaining a high rating in the pest-control industry. Bugs and wildlife are tricky to control. So don’t neglect checking out Google when picking the right company and the right pest plan.

Experience

Controlling pests takes experience. Even with all the training in the world, bugs, rodents, and other animals can be unexpected. Choose a company that has been around for more than a couple of decades. Even better, one that has more than half a century of experience.
