So you’re needing to hire a Pest Control Company, but with so many out there how do you choose?

Here are our top tips for finding the right company for you:

Prioritise Experience

Pest control requires knowledge of the surrounding environment, a thorough understanding of the pest’s habits, and a patient mindset. Therefore, it’s worth investing in a company with adequate experience with similar issues/pests for a thorough result.

Whilst short-term relief might be provided by Pest Control Companies with less experience, you should really look for longer-term solutions to prevent the problem from returning and lessen the cost long term. Your pest control expert should be aware of how pests breed and originate and as such be able to identify the source of the infestation easily. If a company cannot identify the cause – go for someone else!

Hire the Most Knowledgeable Candidate

Once the issue has been resolved, you will want to gain some advice from your pest expert.

Sometimes, you may need to modify your property or the way in which it is used to minimise the reoccurrence of the pest. Only an extremely knowledgeable pest control expert will be able to accurately advise you on this. It may be worth investing in a pest control company that is a little more expensive than others if they can prevent it from happening again and save you money long term.

Consider Timeframes

You don’t want to be waiting weeks to return to a pest-free life. When you are enquiring with companies, be sure to ask when their soonest availability is, particularly if your pest is especially intrusive such as a wasps’ nest. Likewise, if you have an important event being held in the infested area it’s worth checking that the area will be safe to use by then, if not it’s best to know now so you can begin arranging alternative plans. Say you have a mole problem in your garden, and a children’s birthday party at the weekend – although the mole problem could be resolved by then, you might need to hire a gardener to fill in the holes they’ve created.
