If you're looking for the best tick control for your South Shore home, it's important to realize that not all tick control services are created equal.
Ticks and mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they can spread dozens of diseases to humans. Knowing this, many homeowners turn to professionals for tick and mosquito control, but it can be difficult to decide which company to choose. There are so many options, and they all make a lot of promises - so how do you know you're getting the safest, most effective service for your money? Here are some questions you should ask when hiring a tick and mosquito control company.
What products do you use? Does this company use EPA-registered, environmentally friendly, residual products? Some companies promising great results are using inferior product that breaks down quickly, leaving virtually no residual effect.
What equipment is used? The Burgess Pest team uses 200-gallon hydraulic sprayers with strong enough PSI to reach high brush and tall trees, better equipped to eliminate breeding grounds than cheap backpack misters often used by other companies.
Are your technicians licensed? Licensed tick and mosquito control technicians are trained in proper product use and application methods, whereas unlicensed or undertrained applicators use inferior product and may spray non-target areas, such as your lawn.
What is your retreatment policy? Some companies nickel-and-dime customers for retreatments or extra treatments, even after rain.
What about my vegetable garden/fish pond/chicken coops, etc.? In pest control, nothing is one-size-fits-all. At Burgess Pest, we avoid sensitive areas of your property with detailed site maps and customized applications.
Another thing to keep in mind is the size of the company. Many national chains are too large to pay individualized attention to your property or provide personalized customer service; on the other hand, small companies with just one or a handful of employees may not be able to deliver consistent service with high-quality products and equipment.
As a local, family owned and operated business, Burgess Pest has the size, knowledge, experience, and customer support to offer the best tick control for your property with customized solutions.
You wouldn't hire a cleaning company or a pet sitter without asking some questions, and finding the right pest control professional should be no different. If the company you're vetting dodges these questions or any others you have, it's time to move on. When you choose Burgess Pest, you're teaming up with New England's #1 choice for tick and mosquito control, but don't take our word for it.
