Great Pest Control Technicians Have These 6 Qualities

Summary: Pest control services are important for any homeowner to use. This blog describes 6 fundamental qualities of pest control technicians and how the customer will know if they have a high-quality service. Each quality comes with an example of it in action to show how the best pest control technicians carry themselves during a service. Pointe Pest Control provides dependable service from our own excellent pest control technicians.

When you picture a pest control technician, what do you see?

Maybe it’s a uniform-clad professional who walks you through the entire treatment process and faithfully answers every question you have along the way. Or, possibly, it’s a self-sufficient professional who treats your property and doesn’t talk much because they’re too busy solving all of your pest problems.

Regardless of the specific image you have, there are some unspoken expectations when it comes to professional pest control. After all, you want to pay for a service that’s actually effective! But what qualities should you look for when you’re choosing a pest control service?

Let’s answer this question by sharing six qualities that the best pest control technicians have, in our humble opinion.

Knowledgable

First of all, pest control isn’t worth much if the technician doesn’t know what they’re doing! You want someone who knows all about local pests, from their lifecycles to their diets. They also need to know the ins and outs of the treatments they use. This is crucial because the products are stronger than the ones we see on store shelves.

When you hire a pest control professional, you need someone who knows what they’re talking about. They should be able to think critically when they’re faced with a new pest problem, then take the proper steps to resolve it. A great sign of a knowledgeable technician is that they are able to convey their information to you (the customer), so don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Professional

The professionalism of the company should extend to the technician, and vice versa. A professional technician shows up on time, wears a tidy uniform, and has the right equipment. The best pest control technicians don’t waste time in getting to work. They are ready to handle any pest problem they find, and they don’t leave the job unfinished.

Professionalism is key when you hire a professional company. There’s an expectation that the technician will show up on time and be respectful. The saying “you get what you pay for” applies here. It may sound like a waste of money to pay an expensive company, but a high price tag typically comes with extensive training, high-quality products, and better equipment.

Caring

If you just want the technician to quickly treat your property, this one might not matter as much to you. But a caring technician makes all the difference in the world. They treat your home like it’s their own by carefully applying the treatments. Hardworking, considerate technicians solve pest problems and ensure you are satisfied with the service.

Ideally, the technician treating your home cares about the people and pets living in it. Pest control can seem scary when you have young kids and/or animals, and a caring technician will put your mind at ease by explaining their treatments. Long story short, you don’t want a jerk treating your home, so make sure your technician cares about you!

Brave

Pests are scary and gross. Therefore, you need someone brave to solve the pest issues for you! Since the best pest control technicians are prepared for any pest problem that awaits them, they will have the proper safety equipment for tougher invasions. Brave technicians can face tough pest invasions because they have the training and products to help them.

When you have a pest problem and pay for a service to handle it, you expect that professional to have a certain level of bravery. They safely treat the wasp nest or black widow invasion so that you don’t have to take on the problem yourself. When the fearless technician targets the root of the pest issue, they can efficiently alleviate your pest-related stress.

Committed

A job half-finished is an incomplete task that hasn’t yielded results. Great pest control technicians are committed to finishing the tasks at hand. They analyze the pest problem, complete the steps to solve it, and make sure the pests are actually gone. If any pests remain afterwards, the technician should continue treating the issue until it’s solved.

On that note, you want a technician that schedules the right number of follow-up visits (when necessary) and shows up to them in a timely manner. For instance, bed bugs require multiple services to completely end the invasion. A committed technician follows the treatment plan until the pest problem is completely solved.

Reliable

Reliability is perhaps the most important quality in a pest control technician. An ideal technician follows through on their word and actually fulfills their promises. If they say they can de-web your house’s eaves, they actually do it. You know you’ll see results after their service because they completed all of the necessary treatments.

A reliable technician is also consistent with their timeliness and productivity. One of the biggest frustrations with a service is when you don’t know if the professional will even show up. Take it from us: a reliable pest control technician makes the difference between a frustrating experience and a dependable service.
