Choosing the right pest control company is essential for effective and safe pest protection. It’s important to carefully evaluate key factors that identify a reliable service provider, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Licensing and Certifications
A licensed provider assures that the company meets the basic standards set by the local health and safety regulations. It’s an immediate indicator of legitimacy and proof that they are authorised to operate within your area. Additionally, certifications can be viewed as badges of honour, showing that the company adheres to industry best practices and pursues continual professional development. This commitment to upholding high standards is vital for trust and effectiveness in pest control.
Also check for memberships with reputable organisations – this adds an extra layer of credibility. SURE Pest Control in Perth is a PestCert accredited business guaranteeing accreditation to the highest standards. We are also a member of AEPMA, representing professional pest managers across Australia.
Experience and Reputation
Experience is important in gauging a company’s ability to manage diverse pest issues. Companies with a long operational history typically possess extensive knowledge and skills that newer firms may lack, often allowing them to offer quick and effective solutions to a wide range of pest problems.
Reputation reveals the quality of service and customer satisfaction. Assessments through online reviews, testimonials, and word-of-mouth provide insights into the company’s reliability, responsiveness, and treatment success. Reputable companies value customer feedback and are transparent about their service records. SURE Pest Control is proud to boast a 100% 5-star rating on Google.
Insurance
Insurance, particularly liability insurance, protects you and the company should any accidental damage occur to your property during the treatment process. It also provides coverage if any inadvertent issues arise post-treatment, such as lingering health effects from the chemicals used.
A fully insured company not only underscores a sense of responsibility but also shows that the company is prepared to handle unexpected complications professionally and financially.
Pest Control Methods and Products
The pest control methods and products a company uses reflect its commitment to safety and environmental responsibility. A pest control company should employ advanced, safe techniques and approved chemicals, favouring eco-friendly products that are safer for families and pets. Inquiring about a company’s methods and products helps ensure pest issues are managed responsibly. Additionally, customised treatment options indicate a company’s adaptability and expertise in pest management.
Professionalism and Knowledge
Professionalism in a pest control company is shown through the staff’s courtesy, expertise, and transparency about their processes, safety measures, and treatment outcomes, which helps build trust with clients.
Pest control technicians should be well-versed in applying treatments and understand pest biology, behaviours, and trends. Educated technicians are better equipped to devise effective, long-term solutions to pest problems, ensuring high-quality service delivery.
Customer Service
Effective customer service, which entails quick assistance, clear information, and courteous staff, suggests that the company values long-term client relationships and prioritises customer satisfaction and comfort.
See if the company has testimonials published on their website, socials or Google Business Profile.

Guarantees ensure the effectiveness of treatments with provisions for reoccurrence, while follow-up services demonstrate the company’s commitment to fully resolving your pest issues, allowing for adjustments based on initial treatment outcomes.
