Unwanted pests in your home, business, and upon your property are annoying and sometimes unsafe! They may cause asthma, allergic reactions, respiratory disease, and stress. They may be responsible for property damage to wiring, insulation, and building materials. It can be challenging to avoid infestations and to handle those that happen. You may need the help of a professional residential or commercial pest control expert. Following is a guide to selecting a pest management service that fits your needs.
What To Consider When Choosing Pest Management Services
There are many details to contemplate when deciding which pest management service to employ.
- Experience: If you are considering a pest management service, ask about their experience. Ensure that they are knowledgeable in their field. Inquire about their familiarity with the specific pest problem you’re dealing with. Ask for references.
- Insurance, licensing, and regulations: Pest management services in Alberta must hold a pesticide service registration, and Provincial pesticide applicator certification is required. Check that the company you are considering has both. Pest management companies must comply with government standards and regulations. Ask your management service if they are familiar with and follow these regulations. Inquire if your provider has insurance to protect you in the case of property damage.
- Services: Not all pest management services are the same. Some handle residential problems, others commercial extermination, and others agricultural difficulties. Ensure that the company you choose is prepared to handle your situation.
- Products and equipment: Inquire if the pest management service you are considering has the products and equipment to handle your circumstances. Check if they have foamers, ultraviolet light traps, a duster, safety equipment, hoses, a chemical sprayer, necessary chemicals (insecticides, rodenticides. etc.), bait tools, and pest control software. If you’re interested in environmentally friendly products, ask about these.
- Positive online reviews: Assess the exterminator’s reputation by checking platforms such as Yelp, The Best Calgary, and Better Business Bureau.
- Pricing and estimation: Reputable pest management services offer upfront pricing and provide a detailed description of charges (inspection, treatment, follow-up, etc.)
- Range of options: A good pest management service offers a range of treatment options depending on the severity of the infestation, environmental impact, and health risks, allowing you to find the one that meets your needs.
- Clear, respectful communication: A good pest control specialist explains their proposed treatments, findings, and required follow-up clearly and respectfully, building trust and ensuring you are well-informed.
