How to choose a pest control company in Brisbane
If you've got a pest problem you need to solve it quickly, but how do you go about choosing the right pest control company? An inexperienced or unprofessional operator can make the problem worse, leaving you with expensive repair bills. So in this blog, we are going to show you how to spot a rogue operator. Consider these things four things before selecting a pest control expert and you should find a professional operator who can solve your issue quickly and cost-effectively.
Price
Contact several pest control companies for a quote and you will receive many different prices for the same job. Some operators will be very cheap, others will seem quite expensive. Always be wary of cheap quotes, these often don't include travel time or chemicals. So check each quote carefully to make sure you know what's included. That way you won't get any nasty surprises.
Experience
You should also make sure the company is experienced in removing the type of pest you have. Not all pest control companies have experience removing all types of pests. Some pests such as termites can be tricky to deal with and require an experienced operator if the problem is to be dealt with effectively. Any reputable operator should display expert knowledge of the infestation and provide you with references from previous customers with the same type of problem.
Safety
Not all pest control procedures require the use of chemicals, but for some infestations, pesticides may need to be deployed. In this case, any reputable pest controller will provide you with information about which chemicals will be used and what precautions should be taken. Do not use a pest controller who is not able to provide this information upfront.
Professionalism
Finally, there is no excuse for unprofessionalism. Pest controllers should be properly trained and have full insurance cover. They should also update their training regularly to ensure they are compliant with the latest building and health and safety regulations. Ideally, all pest control services should also be carried out following the Australian Standards AS4349.1 and AS4349.3 which ensure effectiveness and safety.
