Pest problems arise from time to time. Minor ones can be easily dealt with yourself. But there are times when you will need to seek the help of professionals when faced with a major pest problem. These problems require special skills, tools, and equipment that pest control companies have at their disposal. Before hiring the services of pest control experts, it is vital that you may talk to several companies and consider what they have to offer before making a decision. It is always recommended that you take your time to look for a reputable and knowledgeable company that meets your standards.
When deciding on which company you should hire, it is important to consider the following factors:
Qualifications. Always ask if their technicians have up-to-date licenses. What are their specialties and are they relevant to the problem at hand? Are the staff up to date in the latest regulations, techniques, products, and safety procedures? Are they well-versed in integrated pest control methods? Also, having a resident entomologist is a plus.
Experience. Experience is a big factor in the pest control industry. Consider how long the company has been operating and how much experience do they have in dealing with the type of problems you are facing now. Do they have veteran technicians in their team?
Reputation. As much as possible, try to avoid relying on advertising about a company. Go ask friends, family members, relatives, and coworkers for any recommendations as some of them might have the first-hand experience as customers. It is also a good idea to inquire from corresponding government agencies to check if which pest control company has any violations or received any complaints. You also might want to ask the company itself for any customer references.
Value. Companies will offer free estimates for their services. It is always a good idea to approach several different companies and compare their estimates along with the packaged services that they offer. Are these estimates well within your budget and the timeframe you want these services accomplished? Also, ask for terms of service and make sure to read them carefully to avoid any issues later on.
Customer Service. When looking for a company that you would require services from, it is always important to see how the company treats you the moment you walk into their door or how they respond through email or through a phone call. Do they respond positively to questions, concerns, or complaints? Are they willing to discuss in detail the products and services that they provide? Are their staff knowledgeable and can they identify key issues with your current situation?
Safety. Safety is a must. Is the company willing to discuss low-toxicity options and do the products and techniques that they use to have a low impact on the environment and general safety of your household? Do they have insurance to cover you, your property, and their employees? Do they have access to protective gear? What measures do they take to prevent any accidents or chemical exposures at the project site?
When it comes to these factors, we at The Local Bug Guy have got it down. We are qualified, experienced, and reputable. For every service we perform, we make sure we provide value, things are done safely, and customers are always satisfied.
Customers don’t even have to ask too many questions, that’s how good our reputation in the area is! But when they do, they usually ask the following:

How big of an area does my technician cover?
