Don't expect to get rid of the termites in your home effectively if you're going to go with just any termite company.
Here are some important questions to ask a company so that you get only the best service.
First things first.
You need to find out if you even have a chance to properly communicate with the staff or owner of the termite company.
You'd want your termite company to know exactly what you need, including a clear explanation on how their going to solve your termite problem.
If you get to talk to the head of the company, the better.
Now ask if you can get a free quote, and particularly a written one.
This will help you avoid getting charged more than you were initially told over the phone.
Look for some kind of certification.
You need to be able to trust that the company will do their job with the appropriate treatment, equipment and method.
Remember that there are more than just one way to eliminate termites.
Ask the company to show you their license.
Similarly, ask the company how long they've been servicing customers.
When asking them about the methods they use, make sure they know what they're talking about.
Experienced and trustworthy companies are updated and make sure their methods involve low toxicity, low odor and less hassle.
Of course, you must ask about your contract and guarantees.
Usually, you get a one-year contract, but there are other smaller but still reliable companies that don't tie you to a contract.
Always insist from the termite company on a money back guarantee.
