An exterminator is one who gets rid of pests by either spraying a chemical or setting a trap. Exterminators are very careful as to how they get rid of the pests and the chemicals needed to do so. In addition, an exterminator will also inspect the infestation and decide what method to use to get rid of the problem.

You want to check out the Better Business Bureau website to check and see if there are any complaints that have been submitted against the exterminator or the company. If there are complaints, check to see if they were resolved in a timely manner. You also want to make note of any history of complaints. Ask if the exterminator is a member of the National Pest Control Association. You also want to be sure that the person coming to your home has the correct insurance.

The exterminator should also be licensed in addition to being insured. This will cover both the homeowner if anything should happen while the exterminator is at their home and it covers the exterminator as well. You also want to know if the company offers protections or guarantees. For example, ask if there is a guarantee that the pests will be permanently removed. You may need follow up care or routine pest control services.

If any company or exterminator claims that they will be permanently removed, this may not be a company that you can trust. This is because that no matter how strong a pesticide is, it does not offer a permanent solution. Most exterminators will offer two kinds of contracts. The first type of contract states that the company will re-treat a pests issue at no extra charge in the event they have already treated it once and the problem has returned.

So your next question is probably how you find an exterminator? There are several methods that you can use to find a good pest control company. You can obtain recommendations from friends, family, coworkers or neighbors. Inquiry with them if they have used a pest control company in the past and who they used. You also want to find out what their opinion was of the service they received. Ask what type of method was used for their particular pest problem.
