Does the company offer humane wildlife removal?
While the animal or pest has overstayed their welcome, how the wildlife or pest is removed matters. Ask the potential contractor how they plan to remove the visitor or visitors?
Use a Pest Management company that uses environmentally safe products and ecologically secure practices. While mice, ants, and other critters naturally do what they do, we do what we do to keep them in check, naturally.
Does the contractor offer a guarantee?
If a guarantee is given, know what it covers, how long it lasts, what you must do to keep it in force, and what kind of continuing control, prevention, and management are necessary.
Don't rush the decision
Don't rush a decision. Since you are paying for professional knowledge, look for someone whose judgment you can trust. Obtain quotes and ask questions to understand the knowledge of the contractor.
Be wary of the operator who comes to your home uninvited and offers to give your house a free inspection for pests. He or she may try to scare you into authorizing immediate and costly treatments.
