HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIAN IS USING THE BEST PEST CONTROL METHOD FOR MY PEST PROBLEM?
You have to have some degree of faith in the judgement and knowledge of your professional service technician. Cost is sometimes a controlling factor: some methods are very expensive and may not be appropriate or practical (due to the cost) for the situation. And, frankly, sometimes pesticide use is the most economically feasible method and the one which offers the fastest potential remedy. When your service technician recommends additional control measures (removing debris, taking pets to the vet for pest treatment, correcting water problems, patching holes, or repairs and/or maintenance) s/he is usually recommending services which are not provided by his/her company. The service tech is simply pointing out what, in addition to the service s/he is providing, should be done to aid in the control of the pest problem.
