Helpful Pest Control Tips
There are many pest control companies that are using technicalities and gimmicks to mislead you into becoming their customer. I am proud say that my company Irish Pest & Weed Control is amongst the few highest-rated companies in America. Thus far we are one of few reputable companies that specialize exclusively in the Arizona due to its extreme environment. Large pest control corporations pay top dollar to have them self positioned in front of companies with notorious ratings like ours, so
Here are a few other tips:
- One of the most valuable pieces of advice I can offer you is this…Ask if the company offers a price-lock guarantee for as long as continue on-going service with them.
- There are service rating web-sites available. Searching by rating may help see past the higher-priced and higher-budget companies that may have paid top dollar to show up in front of you while you search. Then actually look at their rating. If a rating doesn’t show on the first few companies, then scroll down a little bit, those companies probably paid extra to show on top of your rated service listings to fool you. Some examples of customer rated web-sites are Kudzu.com , Super-Pages.com and Angie’s List to name a few, but don’t forget to visit the Better Business Bureau website to get a confirmed 2nd opinion.
- If you are looking for “Green” or “Organic”…watch out for companies that pose as “Green” companies by simply using gas-efficient vehicles to claim their service is better for the environment, and then charge you more for that privilege. Others companies state they are “Organic” because many toxic chemicals are made up of plant parts-making their toxic pesticides “organic”. If, in reality, what you are asking for is the safest pesticides for pets and children which will have no long term negative effect on the environment then either ask if their organic service is made of peppermint oils, vanillin, clove or other essential oils that are actually good for you and just happen to kill bugs in the process…or you can visit AZOrganicPestControl.com .
- If you are looking for a bee-hive removal company….ask if they have a lifetime guarantee along with their regular pest control service costs.
- Watch out for companies that claim to seal problems out, like scorpion seal-outs and bee-outs, because in essence they are also the companies that seal problems IN to your home in the process. Get rid of the problem first, if you are going seal anything up.
- The most reputable companies have no start-up fees, and are about $60 less than competitors, because they don’t pay salesmen to go swindle you before sending a technician to your home to do the actual job.
- Watch out for the notorious “Annual Contracts” (also known as “Service Agreements”). If the company has one, then you can bet that it is not likely the Quality of their service that keeps them in business…but the contract itself.
- Let go of your monthly service…especially if the company sprays inside every time. It is out-dated and the liquids stain your carpets and floor-boards over time. Quarterly Pesticide technologies are now available that are both more effective and longer-lasting.
- Companies that use a diatomaceous earth compound may not have to service the inside of your home again for about 10 years after the initial treatment and the product is hands down the absolute safest you can find for you, your family and pets.
