We’re Still Adding Pest Control Pros in Mercury.

Ask which pest they found, what product or method they plan to use, where it will be applied, and what you need to do before and after. Ask how it works around children, pets and food areas.

It depends on the state, and sometimes the city. Where a licence is required, ask for the number and check it with the licensing board before work starts. On Pros Around, "Licence verified" means we matched the licence number to the board's record on the date shown. We do not check insurance, so ask for proof of it. Ask whether the person applying the product needs their own licence where you live.

Ask the technician to name the product, say where it goes, and say how long people and pets should stay away. Ask for the product label or safety sheet. If someone swallows a pest product, call Poison Control or the emergency number right away.

A one-time visit treats the problem you have now. A plan sends the company back on a schedule. Ask what each covers, which pests are included, whether a return visit is free if the pests come back, and how to cancel.

Signs differ by pest, so do not guess. If you see damaged wood, droppings, nests or insects you cannot name, ask the company to inspect and tell you what they found and what they recommend, in writing.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
