Pest Control Marketing

The population in the South continues to grow at a steady rate – and that doesn’t refer only to human beings. Moderate winters and warm summers also appeal to bugs, insects, and rodents. These pests pose a real danger to your family’s health and the investment you’ve made in your home. If the number of bugs in your home is growing at a faster rate than the state’s population, it’s time to take control. Following are 5 tips to help you choose a reliable Tulsa pest control company.

1. Ask around. The Internet makes searching for a pest control company easy and it may be a good place to start, but don’t forget the tried and true method of asking your friends, neighbors, and area realtors for their suggestions and opinions. It’s a true saying: a satisfied customer is the best form of advertising. Find out which companies are putting client satisfaction at the top of their “to-do” list.

2. Get the facts about the company. The problem uppermost in your mind is bugs, but take time to investigate the company before signing any papers. Is it accredited with the Better Business Bureau? The State Department of Agriculture can also be a good source of information about pest management companies. Ask the Tulsa pest control company how long it has been in business and if the company carries liability insurance.

3. Ask about the employee backgrounds. Before they hire someone, what type of screenings do they require: drug test? criminal background check? What kind of training or schooling are they required to complete? Does the pest professional do this as a part-time or fulltime occupation? A few informed questions will set your mind at ease and assure that the workers coming into your home are well trained and trustworthy.

4. What kind of products will be used? Ascertain that the Tulsa pest control company will be using treatments that will be safe for your family, your pets, and your home. You want to make sure the products are safe for your family and the environment.

5. Is their work guaranteed? What does the guarantee cover and what is your role in keeping the guarantee active? How long does the guarantee last? Remember that there may be outside/perimeter work as well as inside treatments. Ask if they have a guarantee and see it in writing.

Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, and take your time on making a decision. Having done your homework, these simple tips will result in finding a company that will do all you expect – and more. Choose a trusted, reliable Tulsa pest control company and get the pest population back under control.
