Questions to Ask Yourself Before Calling a Pest Control Company

Pest issues aren’t fun to deal with and calling a pest control company to help you out is more often than not the best idea.

For the quickest and best way to find the solution to your pest problem, here are a few things to think about before making that phone call!

Do I know what I am dealing with? The identification of the pest by the homeowner, if possible, speeds up the process by which your pest control company can assist you with recommendations and exterminations. The more you can answer about your pest problem, such as how long it has been an issue, where it is affecting your house and what steps you have taken already will help the pest control experts identify the first steps necessary in eliminating insect and rodent problems.

Do I have a picture to share? Photos identifying critter existence or damage will help pest control experts understand the extent of your pest control issues.

Do I have a list of previous pest issues to reference? If your home has a history of pest problems, be prepared to present any previous history and treatments you are aware of when you contact pest control. Knowledge of past issues will help your pest control professional understand whether your issue needs a one-time treatment or a deeper look at the root of the problem.

Am I contacting a pest control company with qualified technicians? A lot of companies offer pest control services, but only professionals with years of experience are going to know the best methods to eradicate critter issues without causing damage to your home and health. Make sure to do your homework before making any commitments to a company that may not provide the appropriate and customized services for your unique issue.

Do I want preventative treatments in the future? Pest control companies can often come to your house or business within a day or two to help take care of current pest problems. Remember that most of these companies, like Catseye, offer regular preventative treatments to help avoid future pest problems from occurring. If you are interested and want to learn more about those treatments, give us a call!

With these questions answered, you are well on your way to finding the best pest control solution for you!
