If you have termites in your home, you need to get rid of them without delay. Few household pests can be as destructive or persistent as these nasty little creatures. If the termite problem is in its early stages and isolated to a small portion of your home, there are various measures that can be used to exterminate them. However, if you’re dealing with a full-blown termite infestation, there is only one logical (and effective) method to cleanse your home: a structural fumigation.
A structural fumigation is an inconvenient disruption of your day-to-day life: you’re forced to abandon your home for a period of days, removing your plants and pets while also finding a place to stay in the meantime. It can be stressful and expensive. Therefore, it’s very important to choose a pest control company that can make the process as painless as possible for you.
Here are some tips on how to choose a pest control company for your termite fumigation:
Choose a company with experience
As with most industries, you want to do business with a company that knows what it’s doing. Pest control companies have been conducting fumigations for years, and have become very efficient at it. Choosing a company with a long history of structural fumigations ensures the company knows the advancements that have been made in the fumigation process over the years, and has become efficient with their own fumigation technique. An experienced company also knows how to handle any unexpected issues that arise – they’ve likely seen the same problem before.
Ensure your comfort as a consumer
This is likely the first time you’ve dealt with a fumigation, and you understandably have a lot of questions. Ask them! Ask a potential pest control company about their techniques, the chemicals used and any guarantees they might have.
If a company seems reluctant to answer questions or doesn’t provide satisfactory answers, that betrays a lack of confidence or transparency. You’re paying a lot of money for this treatment, you should get to understand what you’re paying for.
Get you all the information you need (and are entitled to)
Pest control companies are required to inform you of the chemicals they will be using, and safety precautions you should take. They should also inform you of their own fumigation technique, as well as what you need to know before you reenter the home. If the pest control company isn’t upfront and confident about presenting all this information, it is a worrisome sign.
