How Can You Be Sure You’re Choosing the Right Pest Control Company? | Turf Badger Blog

No One Does Pest Control Like Turf Badger!
As many property owners may know, pests are a year-round problem here in Appleton, WI. And it’s not just one predominant pest, but there are many pesky critters you could potentially encounter on your property. Likewise, you’ve got pests that prefer to remain outdoors and others that may seek shelter indoors where it’s nice and warm.
Whichever pest you’re dealing with, a good pest control company will make your life a whole lot easier. But how do you know you’re choosing the right pest control company? Three clues you’ve found the right pest control specialist are that they tailor their treatment to the pest they’re targeting, they offer some sort of guarantee, and their treatments last until the next application.

What are the active ingredients, and do they use selective pesticides?

Pest control treatments generally come in one of two categories: broad-spectrum treatments and selective treatments. Broad-spectrum treatments target various pests using one type of pesticide, while selective treatments target a specific type of insect or pest using a specialized pesticide.
Great companies understand different types of pests and how each one responds to various pest applications. This knowledge allows them to treat whatever problem you’re facing effectively. Pest control is not one size fits all, so you’ll want to choose a company that offers individual treatments for specific pests. Ask them what the active ingredients are for each type of pest control treatment they offer to make sure that each one is unique.

The right pest control company should be able to take on a variety of pests including ants, chinch bugs, spiders, fleas, mosquitoes, and much more!

Do they offer a guarantee?

When you’re looking at various pest control companies, you’ll want to check to see if they offer a guarantee with their service. One type of guarantee that stands out above others is a 100% satisfaction guarantee. This type of guarantee means that the company will take additional steps to ensure your complete satisfaction if you’re not satisfied with their initial service. A guarantee doesn’t necessarily prove the provider is better, but a guarantee does say they believe in their service.
If given a choice between two pest control companies that offer identical services but one also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you should choose the company that offers the guarantee.

How long does the treatment last?

How long a pest control treatment lasts generally depends on the type of pest the specialist is treating. For example, a single termite treatment can last for a year or more. In contrast, a typical ant treatment can last three to six months.
When screening pest control companies, the key is to make sure the last application continues working until your technician returns for the follow-up treatment. You’re looking to ensure you don’t have a gap between when the last treatment becomes ineffective versus when they come back out to re-spray.
