Once a home owner decides he needs help with a pest problem, he might decide to call the first pest control nj company listed in the phone book. Pest control companies may be contacted for the management and treatment of pests in your house. There is a much better way to determine how to choose the right pest control company for your house. The decision will be based on their expertise, training and the costs involved. Other factors will include their client satisfaction record and their experience in the field.

Here are some useful pointers that will help you choose the right pest control company:

• The first thing to double-check would be to see, if the company is licensed to practice pest control in your area. Each state has its own set of pest control firms. If for example, you live at the border of two states, you may want to make sure of this first. The state license bureau will help you determine if the firm is indeed properly licensed.

• The next step would be to make sure their insurance covers them for breakages or damages incurred during the pest control process. This may include coverage for things like broken mirrors or stained carpets etc.

• To determine the quality of their job, you could try calling the chamber of commerce to see if any complaints have been registered against the company for any reason.

• Look for references. If you can contact any previous customer serviced by the firm, call them and ask if the service they received was satisfactory. Also ask if the problem was sorted out to their satisfaction. Positive referrals make a lot of difference to your confidence in the firm.

• Call up the company and ask to speak to customer service. How did they sound? Did they simply say they were too busy? Did they show interest in your problem? Were they prompt in organizing a visit to the premises? All these are little indicators of quality of service and efficiency.

• Be clear about the time duration involved. Children, pets and the elderly may have to be protected from exposure during the time. Does the firm provide scheduled service calls in their contract?

• Sit down and read the contract carefully. Is it straightforward and honest? Or do you need to clarify some doubts with the company’s agent? Think before you sign on the dotted line.

• Always get quotes and offers from more than one company. This provides a good base for comparison and you would know if you are paying normal rates.
