Pest Control: 5 Things You Must Ask Before Hiring a Pro

Are your services guaranteed?

If you need to hire a pest control pro, you may want to look for a company that is confident in their ability to remove any unwanted critters from your house. Many agencies have an all-encompassing guarantee in their contracts. They not only promise 100% customer satisfaction, but they also provide compensation for jobs that don’t meet expectations.

This being said, most pest control companies will offer a refund, credit, or re-treat your house for free if unsuccessful. These guarantees vary in coverage and time span, so check the fine print on your contract before you hire a pest control pro and make the deal.

This guarantee should be expressed both orally and in writing. Keep in mind that off-the-record conversations don’t hold up legally. For example, if your chosen pest control specialist promises one thing but you see a different thing in the physical contract, they may not uphold their part of the deal.

By the way, Amazon has plenty of cockroach repellents if you want to deal with these intruders on your own.
