Tips on choosing the right pest controller

1. Always shop around for a pest control company with a solid trading history and respectable reputations. You should enquire about how long the company has been established, the various safety measures in place, as well as the nature of insurance and warranty covers.

2. Size does matter – a larger and more established company would normally have proper work and safety procedures in place to ensure that all jobs are done according to standard. A large company is also more likely to be around in future if problems arise.

3. All qualified pest control companies should have proper professional indemnity and public liability insurance covers; make sure you ask!

4. Ask about the qualification of the technicians employed as well as the type of chemicals and equipments used. Choose the company that’s more professional, and open about the products and procedures they use.

5. Before the technician carries out any pest control procedures on your property, ask to see his/her pest controller license. Make sure the license is valid, current and legitimate.

6. Observe the pest controller when carrying out termite inspections procedures. Make sure the inspection is thorough, and the inspections report is detailed and informative. Ask the pest controller for advice, and observe the level of professionalism in the response.

7. Be wary of Pest Controllers in inappropriate uniforms or vehicles, or using improper equipment. The level of professionalism is often reflected in the company’s presentation.
