• Professionalism – Every pest controller that visits your property should be punctual. They should also give you a clear time when they are coming. All prices and costs must be stated to you upfront. Each technician should also show you any licenses needed to carry out the work.

• Price – If you feel like you’re overpaying someone for an easy job, you probably are. It’s always best to get two different quotes from competitors so you can compare prices and opt for the better company.
• Expertise – Probably one of the most important things you need from a pest controller. Their knowledge and expertise on pest extermination.
