FOUR STEPS IN SELECTING
THE MOST QUALIFIED
PEST CONTROL COMPANY
1. Your decision should not be based upon price alone. Many very important factors enter into the pricing of your service program.
A. One very expensive cost factor is Workers Compensation Insurance. If the pest control firm does not have this insurance and one of its employees is injured on your property you can be sued for damages. Be certain the company you hire gives you copies of their insurance coverage.
B. Does the pest control company hire seasonal help and lay them off during the slow season or do they employ their personnel year round assuring that you will have the same qualified and experienced technicians when you need them?
C. Does the pest control company practice I.P.M. (Integrated Pest Management)? It costs more to implement such practices but in the end I.P.M. relies less on the use of harsh chemicals.
D. Evaluate the presentation. Is it professional? Does the inspector have knowledge of your pest problem and is he able to answer all of your questions satisfactorily?
2. Ask to see copies of pesticides licenses. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts must license every pest control technician.
3. Ask for a list of references. If the company does not have them, ask yourself why.
4. Check with the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture
to see if there have been any violations issued against the company. It
is public information and it is free.
