Selecting termite services does not have to be as difficult as trying to get rid of a termite invasion of your property. This article sets forth some things you can do to reduce the pain and confusion which is often associated with finding an exterminator to help you to get rid of an infestation of your home.
The starting point is with the employment of a professional, licensed, and properly trained termite inspector so that you will know the type of infestation you are faced with as not all products are suitable for every kind of termite infestation. As part of the inspection service, if your home is found to be infested, then the inspector will recommend a treatment methodology.
You should be concerned if your inspector recommends a specific company to you to employ to do the exterminating. Instead, if the inspector should give you a list of reputable firms and leave it up to you to decide which three you will invite to come out and give you a bid or estimate of the cost of their services. Should the inspector not give you such a list, then there is no need to worry. Just check with your local agricultural extension office or state pest control board. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau.
You should also avoid anyone who "just happens" to come by your home claiming to have just completed a job at a house very near yours. Likewise, do not do business with anyone who comes to your home uninvited no matter what reason they give for doing so.
Another sign is lack of a listed telephone number which means the person or company lacks experience or is too cheap to afford a phone or is working out of their vehicle. Do not do business with anyone who does not have a listed telephone number and even then you want to verify the number. Also, avoid anyone who drives a vehicle other than a pest control truck with its state license duly visible on the truck. - 29957
