Multnomah County has a page on its website dedicated to helping residents and businesses select a quality pest control service. Here are a few of the suggestions from that page:
- Always deal with a qualified and licensed pest management company. Consider asking to see the license or other credentials of the pest management professional that comes to solve your pest problem.
- Evaluate pest control companies that are members of national, state or local pest management associations as they have access to up-to-date information and education.
- Ask friends and neighbors to recommend pest control companies they have used successfully and how satisfied they were with the service.
- Don’t rush a decision. Since you are paying for professional knowledge as well as skillful application of pesticides, look for someone whose judgment you can trust.
- Before signing a contract, be sure to fully understand the nature of the work to be performed, the extent of the infestation and what is covered by the service agreement.
- Find out if the pest control company has liability insurance to cover any damages to your house or furnishings during treatment.
- If a guarantee is given, know what it covers, how long it lasts, what you must do to keep it in force, and what kind of continuing control, prevention and management are necessary.
