Six Helpful Hints to
Good Termite Exterminators
First impressions are important even for termite
exterminators. This is why an exterminator who wants to get you
as a client should be eager to present a good impression. Here
are six important hints you should look for in an
exterminator:
Comes on Time
Coming on or a little before the appointed time is a clear
sign of professionalism. If your exterminator misses the mark,
you should have second thoughts about hiring him. He may also
later make excuses for delays in your agreement.
Looks Professional
It’s hard to trust a professional who looks untidy. If a
professional comes from a pest control company, he should at
least wear a uniform and an identification card. Reputable
companies also provide identifiable transportation and
equipment for their personnel.
Presents Credentials
You shouldn’t be shy about asking for credentials or records
of experience. A real professional would not hesitate to give
you a background of just how extensive his training and
experience is. Termite exterminators you can trust undergo
regular updated training and have years of work experience
under their belts.
Conducts a Thorough Inspection
An exterminator doesn’t get right down to business on his
first day on your property. He also isn’t around just to chit
chat. What he has to do is to conduct a thorough investigation
of your property. Exterminators who know their work well will
make a thorough sweep of your property even over crawlspaces
and your attic. Once they are done with their inspections, they
should communicate what their findings and proposals are.
Answers Questions Clearly
One sign of a good professional is his ability to answer
questions clearly. It’s hard to put your trust on someone who
may not even be able to string thoughts together on a subject
he is supposedly an expert on.
Presents a Clear Contract
Before hiring an exterminator, a contract is always a must.
You should be given one with provisions that are easy to
understand. Never affix your signature to a contract if there
are statements that are unclear.
Termite exterminators aren’t just experts on termites. You
should also look at them as sales professionals who represent
their companies and professions. You shouldn’t settle for
individuals who can’t give you good impressions.
