1.
WHAT CREDENTIALS DO YOU HAVE?
Any pest control company and their technicians must be certified completely, and be able to provide you with up to date knowledge on all that goes into pest control. If they cannot produce their actual certification details, that’s a definite red flag. 2.
ARE YOUR TECHNICIANS CRB CHECKED?
You need to make sure that the person who is potentially visiting your property is completely checked out for a criminal record, because this is just as important as the company itself. Make sure you get a clear “Yes” from them before you let them enter your home, because it’s your property and family that are at risk if you don’t check. 3.
HAVE YOU DEALT WITH THESE PESTS BEFORE?
If you think you have an uncommon pest, you must make sure that the company you approach is the right one for you. They need to have the experience to get rid of your specific pest problem with the right methods, and for good.

4.
WHAT PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
Every company has a specialty, and it’s important to know what this is as you want a company that’s the best match for your type of household pest, not someone that just sprays pesticides all day. 5.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TESTIMONIALS I CAN SEE?
If a company is unwilling to provide you with a testimonial they’re probably not very good, being either too new to the service to help you properly, or they are trying to hide something from you. Always ask for testimonials to see how open they are to showing you them. 6.
ARE YOU INSURED?
You need to make sure that you won’t be responsible for any damage that coms to your home from treatment, so make sure the company is fully insured.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
Being forearmed ahead of time with the best knowledge available is always a good idea, so see what they recommend for their treatment plan. As a responsible company they won’t guarantee anything until an expert sees the issue for themselves, but they should be happy to give you a few pointers. 8.
DO YOU ALWAYS USE CHEMICALS?
If you have children and pets, their safety is always your number one priority, and some companies will offer you green options with natural pesticides to keep your family unharmed. 9.
DO YOU OFFER GUARANTEES?
Check to see if the company will give you some kind of guarantee for you comfort and financial safety, although some pests cannot be fully exterminated with one application.
10.
