If you’ve never worked with a pest control company, you may not know what to ask when discussing services. You are probably thinking that you just want someone who can take care of your problem, but not all pest companies are created equal. To find a reputable company that will manage pest control problems, here are a few specific questions you should ask before hiring them.

Are Your Technicians Licensed and Insured?  

The answer to this question should be “yes.” Truly Nolen is a licensed and insured pest control company for your safety and protection. We make sure our technicians have the training and certification they need to use the chemicals needed to treat your home. We can provide copies of our license and certifications if you ask.

How Do You Decide What Treatments Are Needed?

Our technicians look at many elements, from the type of pest to what stage of life the pests are in. We look at how serious the problem is to determine the best course of action. We always try to use the least amount of pesticides, even though we do use eco-friendly and safe chemicals. As part of our service, we also look at how to prevent future infestations.

How Long Have You Been in Business and Are There Testimonials or Reviews Available?

You should check out their reviews online and get as much information as you can about their business. The longer they’ve been in business, the better. Longevity indicates that their customers trust them and return to them when they need more residential pest removal. Read a lot of reviews and don’t just look at the worst or the best. Look for responses from the pest control company too. Sometimes, customers are unhappy and the company tries to make it better.

Are Your Treatments Safe For Pets and Humans?

Modern pest control treatments are designed to be safe for pets and humans, but sometimes, the chemical needs to dry before you can return to your home. You should also tell your pest control company about any exotic pets you have, such as birds, snakes, hamsters or other non-mammal pets. Our technicians can explain why your pets will be safe during and after treatment and any precautions you need to take.

How Much Training Do Your Exterminators Receive?

Many professionals are required to keep up with laws, regulations and products in their industry or field. Pest control technicians who are licensed need annual continuing education credits to make sure they understand what is required of them. Our technicians also get training on customer service, safe driving and other aspects of our industry. New technicians work under a senior technician to make sure they have the qualifications to take care of our customers.
