How Do I Hire a Pest Control Company?

You know you need professional help, but now you’re wondering, “How do I hire a pest control company I can trust?”

You’re in the right place. We can help.

To find a pest control company, many people search for “pest control near me.” Some people ask friends, family, and neighbors for recommendations. These are good initial strategies, but there are a few other things you should do as well before making the decision to hire them.

Research Before You Call

For example, before you hire a pest control company, you want to be sure they’re properly licensed and insured. In Washington, you can do that on the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s website.

Additionally, you’ll want to make sure they’re a member in good standing of Better Business Bureau and ask if they’re members of any other professional organization (National Pest Management Association, for example).

You’ll also want to do a little research to see if they have a good track record. To do this, you can look for reviews on sites like Yelp and Angi.

What to Look for When You Call

Once you’ve used your research to narrow down the possibilities, it’s time to call the pest control companies directly to learn more about how they can help you.

You should expect them to do an onsite inspection. And they should be willing and able to answer all your questions about their proposed treatment plan.

They should be willing to show you proof of their insurance.

And they should be willing to give you — in writing — all the details of their guarantee, including terms and conditions that apply.

Getting an Estimate

You should always get an estimate so you know what to expect before you hire a pest control company.

The estimate should be clear and easy to understand. And you should not have to sign an ongoing contract or feel obligated to use the company for more than one service if that’s all you want or need.

Choosing to Hire a Pest Control Company

Throughout the process, pay attention to how you feel when talking to anybody from any pest control company that you’re considering.

Do you feel “helped and served” or do you feel “sold to”?

You’ll have a feel for their honesty and integrity. You’ll have a feel for if you can trust them to take care of your property and protect your family.

Customer satisfaction means everything to us here at Classic Pest, and you shouldn’t have to settle for anything less.
