What to Look for in a Commercial Pest Control Company

You need your business to run smoothly. Watching a customer gasp as a mouse skitters across your showroom floor is not a good look. Pests are looking for exactly what you are in a shelter: warmth, food, and water. When you provide these creature comforts, pests will follow. That’s why you need to contact a commercial Ankeny pest control to keep these critters outside where they belong. How do you know who to contact? Here are a few tips: 

Ask Around

Your business associates can tell you who they utilize for pest control, and are usually quite frank on what they think of the service they receive. Keep in mind, commercial pest control plays a different role than residential pest control. Ask business owners specifically for the best answers. You can also read online reviews for frank discussions of local pest control companies.

Next, talk to your local commercial Ankeny pest control companies. Ask what services they provide and how much they charge. Ask about warranties and how fast a turnaround they have in case of an emergency. A good company will have answers to these questions immediately. 

Look for Experience

It is nice giving someone a chance when they have only been in business a short while, but when your reputation is on the line, it may be more worthwhile to contact a company with a long history of excellent pest control service. While a new company may charge less for service, an experienced company will know what to do when things do not go as planned. Think about that as you make your decision on who to hire for your commercial pest control.

Compare Services

A commercial pest control company should offer multiple services and varied levels of those services. This proves they have a vast background of pest control knowledge and can tackle almost any problem. Also, your needs differ from those of other businesses. That means your pest control service will also be different. Look specifically for what you want; don’t assume every pest control company offers all services.

Ask Deeper Questions

How well versed are your pest control professionals? If they only mix chemicals, spray, and leave, are you sure they sprayed for exactly the problem you called about? Ask about the chemicals, how long-lasting they are, when you can clean after spraying, whether the company can spray only your building’s exterior for the same protection, whether they can perform humane removal of large rodents, if they understand the life cycle of the insects they are treating and how chemicals affect each phase, and any other burning questions on your mind.

Customer Service

Great prices mean nothing without service to back it up. Ensure your technicians are friendly, the representatives answering the phone have time for you, and all questions are answered promptly and with kindness.

Look for Insurance

This is crucial. Never allow anyone to spray your commercial building unless their company is properly licensed and insured. Companies are required to show a business license upon request, and insurance protects you against injuries or accidents.
