Termite Companies: Two Things You Should Do Before Hiring One
You are about to undertake a costly venture in getting rid of termites from your home. Here are two things you need to do to protect yourself against costly mistakes and poor work. You must do these things before you hire an exterminating company and even before you order an inspection of your home as you need to make sure that the professional you hire is properly licensed and does not have any pending complaints for unsatisfactory work elsewhere.
Do not take the company’s representative’s word for whether or not the company and its employees are properly licensed and trained. You can be shown an expired, suspended, or revoked license as well as outdated and expired training. Contact your local or state governing agency and verify this information for yourself. Most likely there is a pest control agency in your city or county. Take the time to make the necessary calls.
In California, you would contact the Structural Pest Control Board. Not only should you ask about the company, you should ask about the particular individuals who come out to do the work. You should ask the company for this information and insist that you receive it. This is because the company can be properly licensed but the worker may not be or s/he may not be properly trained to perform the intended service.
In addition to checking on licensing and training matters, you need to make sure there are no complaints pending against the company. You can get this information from your State Consumer Affairs Office, the local Better Business Bureau, and the State Pest Control Board. Although many commentators suggest you get references from the company, you never know if those references are related to the company somehow or whether they receive compensation for their good report on the company.
Although you should keep in mind that there are always at least three sides to a story, you should do a Google search of the company and the employees who come out to see what Internet users are saying about them.
