Pinecrest, Florida Pest Control: How to Choose an Exterminator

Choosing an exterminator can be a daunting process to many consumers. Your pest control expert is trusted to enter your home and scour every last crack and crevice looking for bugs, rodents, and other pests. Further, since pests like roaches, rats, and bedbugs can lead to serious health problems it is a very important task you are entrusting them with. Where to turn? Opting for a national pest control company such as Orkin or Terminix brings a strong brand identity, but all too often they are simply overbooked by the corporate office to the point where even the most well intentioned exterminator simply doesn't have the time to effectively deal with your problem. On the other hand, choosing a small, local exterminator may leave you wondering if they have the level of resources and know-how needed to deal with your pest problem.

In my experience the following criteria are an excellent jumping off point to find a great Miami exterminator.

Attention to detail: Before spraying one drop of insecticide your Pinecrest pest control expert should first examine your property, determine what pests are cohabitating with you, and how they are getting in. Many pest control professionals skip this important step and just start laying traps and such. While this leads to pricey service contracts, which are great for them, often something as simple as door-sweeps, replacement window screens, or even duct tape will seal entry points and fix your problem. A savvy, honest, pest control expert may be able to resolve your issue  with one call if this is the case.  This brings us to our second point...

Trust and professionalism: Your Miami pest control expert is entrusted with walking around your home, even looking under the bed and in the closets. This is why trust and professionalism are critical factors in choosing your local exterminator. Dwayne Palmer, founder of Palmer Pest Management made this point abundantly clear in saying, "Listen, I know I can kill the bugs and trap the pests. What I work to focus on is showcasing my expertise to my clients. Customer service is important. I make it mandatory for me and my team to be prompt, professional, and courteous. Those three factors make sure my clients get the high level of service they deserve. Treating my customers right is simply a better way to do business. One referral is more profitable than overly extending a dozen unneeded service contracts."  Very well said.

Passion: Again, I must defer to Mr. Palmer on this one. He mentions, "It's plain as day to me. I care about my customers and their properties. The faster and more effectively I can rid them of bugs and pests the happier they are and the better my business does. It's an amazing feeling to rid a home of something like bed bugs or mice. The kids can sleep, making them well rested for school and the parents are happy." This is a man who loves his job.
