Finding
a pest control company for your needs is neither a walk in the park nor as easy
as ABC. Tracing a pest control company around your vicinity might be hard. There
are a number of factors you should put into consideration before choosing a pest control company. Before contacting the services of pest control
professionals, ensure that you have done a thorough inspection of your
premises.If you fail to identify the types of pests, consult with the nearest
pest control bodies or search on the pest control sites. Find out how best you
can solve your problem. If it proves to be hard, then consult professionals.
Recent
advances in technology are here to save you. You could use search engines on
the web and telephone directories to locate a company that will suit all your
pest problems. Visit web pages of these companies and find their contacts. Sometimes
you can get references from friends, colleagues or relatives. Inquiring from
your neighbors about pest control companies in your vicinity could be another
way of finding one.
Ensure
that you have a variety of options. This gives you a wider scope of service
packages to choose from rather than being limited to a fewer number of options.
Get into contact with up to 3 companies and inquire about their services and
the fees they charge. You might even want to have the companies you are
considering give a presentation about their services packages.
Interview
the companies to find out much more about them. Below are some of the questions
you should ask:
·
Name of the company, the address and location
·
If the company belongs to pest associations of
any level, state or local
·
Services packages offered
·
Fees charged
You
should also search and mostly consider companies that use Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) services. These companies use methods that limit the use of
pesticides and are most likely to make follow ups and consider many methods of
dealing with pests. The best pest control company should have one or more of
the following conditions:
1. Utilize
other multi methods of pest control apart from pesticides such as use vacuum
cleaners, steaming, cleaning and use of Cryonite or heating and or fumigate the
premises.
2. The
company carries out an inspection before coming up with fees. Inspection is
important in determining the extent of the damage.
3. The fees
charged are flexible and not a flat rate. You need service providers who charge
pay as per the findings of the inspection.
4. They
should offer you information on the pests, the causes and sources, extent of
the infestation and let you in on the kind of treatments they will apply and
offer advice on prevention methods.
5. Professionals
are required to provide a written and comprehensive report after the
inspection. The report should entail the findings, methods of control as well
as give strategy for the services provided.
6. Follow-ups
are important in totally eliminating the pest infestations. The visits should
not be limited but according to the level of infestation. It should only stop after
the pests have totally been eradicated.
7. Seeking
your input is equally important as deciding the types of treatments. The
personnel are expected to find out your chemical tolerance. Some pesticides
could contain allergens.
8. Pests
can easily spread to other areas especially those surrounding the affected
area. Therefore, the service providers should work closely with property owners
inform them about the infestation and recommend inspection and treatment for
surrounding units.
