When dealing with a potential pest problem, choosing the right company is one of the most important decisions you'll make. This article covers the essential information you need to know before making a hiring decision.

Every state requires pest control operators to be licensed. This ensures they have passed necessary exams regarding the safe handling, storage, and application of restricted-use pesticides.

Understanding Insurance

"Insured" typically means the company carries general liability insurance. This protects your property in the rare event that treatment causes damage. Never hire a company that cannot provide proof of current insurance.

Questions to Ask Your Inspector

  • Can I see a copy of your license and insurance?
  • Do you offer a guarantee on your work?
  • What specific products will you be using?
  • Are these treatments safe for pets and children?
