Also, make sure the company is bonded and insured to protect your protect your property against liability.

When pest removal experts come to your home to evaluate the scope of your problem, they should have a professional appearance and be able to answer a wide range of questions.

If you've decided that you need ongoing service as a preventive measure, your pest control provider should be able to detail in a written contract the extent and frequency of services needed to solve the problem. Make sure there's a guarantee outlined in the contract so you know what the company's and your responsibilities are if there is a problem with the service.

You should always be informed of the types of chemicals being used, possible adverse effects and whether there are non-chemical options available.
