How to Hire a Pest Control Pro in Erie

Use this interactive checklist to ensure you hire the right pest control professional. Check off each item as you vet candidates.

0 of 12 completed0%

Pennsylvania requires pest control operators to hold a current applicator license. Ask for the license number.

1

Pesticide application carries risk. Verify the company has adequate liability coverage.

2

Integrated Pest Management focuses on prevention and targeted treatment, minimizing unnecessary chemical use.

3

Reputable companies inspect your property before recommending treatment. Be wary of phone-only quotes.

4

The plan should identify the pest, explain the treatment method, and outline follow-up visits.

5

If you have children, pets, or food gardens, ask about the products used and any safety precautions.

6

Look for reviews mentioning your specific pest issue and the effectiveness of the treatment.

7

Many companies guarantee their treatments for 30-90 days. Ask what happens if pests return.

8

Quarterly maintenance is more effective and cost-efficient than reactive treatments.

9

Termites, bed bugs, and wildlife each require specialized knowledge. Confirm relevant experience.

10

Good pest control companies identify entry points and conditions that attract pests — not just treat symptoms.

11

Written agreement should include treatment type, products used, schedule, warranty terms, and total cost.

12
