Selecting a Pest Control Professional

There are a number of factors that may differentiate pest control companies from one another. Following are some general guidelines for choosing a pest control company:

• Look for a reputable company with representatives knowledgeable about pest and/or termite habits, types of construction, treatment specifications and state regulations.
• Ask friends and associates to recommend companies they have used.
• Look for memberships in industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) that provide ethical guidelines and technical information.
• Find out if continued coverage is offered that includes treatment for reinfestation and repairs for future damage and ask if it is renewable.
• Be certain the company is licensed by your state's regulatory agency.
