What to Ask When Choosing a Pest Control Company

No one has time to waste once they’ve discovered a pest infestation in their home. You need to act quickly, and you want to know that the pest control company you choose is knowledgeable and reliable.

So who do you turn to? There could be a dozen pest control companies in your area that claim to be the best, but before you decide on one, you should feel confident that they will get the job done quickly and thoroughly. We’ve laid out some questions that you can ask to feel secure in your choice of exterminator:

Where can I read your reviews?

Transparency is an important quality to look for when hiring a provider for any service. In the bottom right corner of the Pest Defense Solutions website, you’ll see that we display an overview of our ratings and a link to read our reviews.

We are proud to show a 4.4 out of 5 star rating that accounts for over 250 reviews! If you are able to quickly find a company’s results and are seeing lots of positive feedback, you can trust that they will provide you with quality service.

How do you assess a customer’s situation?

Every pest outbreak has a different origin and needs a unique plan for its resolution. Talk to an exterminator that you’re considering about what their pest control process looks like. At Pest Defense Solutions, we take a comprehensive approach that has seen much success over our 15 years of business:

• We start off with an inspection session. One of our experts will come out to the site and take a look at the pest outbreak to discover how it started and how bad it has become.
• They then draft a plan to remove the pests and shut off the source of the outbreak.
• A return date is scheduled, and if we don’t fix the problem on the first day, we send our technicians back until the job is completed and your house is protected from repeat offenders.

How safe are your pest control methods?

Some popular pesticides contain harmful ingredients that can unintentionally poison nearby plants and animals. Ask an exterminator that you are considering if they’re using entirely EPA-approved products and keeping up with the newest environmentally-friendly strategies.

At Pest Defense Solutions, we always stay updated on the latest advancements in eco-conscious pest control to continue our quality service with an eye on our impact on the environment.

Is your company licensed and insured?

A trustworthy pest control company will continually train their employees and have their business accredited and insured properly. You should choose a company that has liability insurance in case your home is damaged during the extermination process.

Can you prevent future pest problems?

A good exterminator will remove pests from your home and make sure they don’t return. When a pest control company takes the time to pest-proof your home after getting rid of the pests, it means that they see you as more than just a customer. Our policy at Pest Defense Solutions is to send technicians back to the site until we believe that your home is no longer susceptible to similar infestations.
