How long have you been in business?

The old saying, “Experience is the best teacher,” is true in all aspects of life, even pest control. The best agencies may not have been in the industry for long, but they should have a track record indicating their employees’ years of experience.

Unless you want to take a chance with a newcomer on the market, look for established agencies that have been in business for several years. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, almost 50% of new businesses fail in their first five years of operation.

So, before you hire a pest control pro, ask the company how long they have been in the industry. Their website should also give you this information. Speaking of which, make sure you also take a look at their online presence, professionalism, and reviews.

All these details should help you determine whether they are a reliable service and whether you can depend on them in the future.

The next question is something really important you should know before you hire a pest control pro!
