Most homeowners, landlords and tenants do their best to control pests with property maintenance and good sanitation practices. While this may work for a while, multiple types of pests or an infestation can be difficult to control. Whether it is the need for pest control of termites, ants, bed bugs, beetles, black widow spiders, stink bugs, wasps, murder hornets, mosquitoes, carpenter ants or rodents, professional exterminators are trained to safely rid your property of pests. Here are six tips to help you select professional pest control services:

1. Consider the type of property that needs extermination services.
You should select the proper pest control company the way you select any other service: by doing research. You want to make sure that your exterminators have experience with the type of pest problem that you are experiencing. You should also check to ensure that a pest control company has serviced clients that have the same type of property that you have. For instance, a company that manufactures edible products must be follow EPA guidelines when using pesticides near food products.

2. Is the company licensed in New Jersey?
One of the first things to look for when selecting a pest control company is their licensing. Make sure you know the requirements in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania as they differ from state to state. Also, the type of pest and the beginning and end of their life cycle can change from one location to another. You need to make sure that the company that you select understands the pests in the area of North Bergen, NJ and the surrounding areas. Do not just take their word for it that they have a license; ask to see a copy of it.

3. How will problems be resolved?
Ask questions about the way that your pest control problem will be resolved. Will they be using chemicals for ants or cockroaches? If so, what kind? Will bait be used for termites or rodents? Will mouse traps be put down? Do water sources or drainage need to be addressed? Will cracks and gaps be sealed? Whatever method is implemented to target your pest control issue needs to be best for your family, pets and the environment. Since every property is different, a customized plan should be created by the pest control exterminator after he has evaluated your property.

4. Be prepared!
Some treatments may require you to empty cabinets, take sheets off beds, remove items from the floor, take pets out of the house, remove aquariums, etc. You should make sure that this is done before the exterminator arrives on the date of service. You may also be required to leave the house. Once the service has been completed, no one should touch treated area until chemicals have dried.

5. Ongoing monitoring.
In most cases, keeping pests out of your property will not be accomplished in one visit. Exterminators will inspect the inside and outside of your property before giving you a customized treatment plan. Professional exterminators use their experience and advanced technologies to eliminate any conditions that attract pests. A reputable company should offer periodic monitoring and treatment. You should also ask if their work is guaranteed for a specific period.

6. Buyer Beware
When a pest control issue arises, you want your exterminator to be an expert. Be careful of an offer of extermination from landscapers, contractors or other people who specialize in other areas. Although they may offer you a great deal, it is likely that they do not have the expertise to safely rid your property of insects, rodents or other pests.
