When it comes to pest control, there is a lot more involved than just killing some bugs or rodents. You are inviting a company and a technician into your home or business and you want someone you can trust to not only do the job but to be safe in what they do and the materials they use. While the materials companies use to kill your pests are mostly the same or similar, how they are applied and who is applying them makes all the difference in the world.
Procor’s industry-leading exterminators are thoroughly trained, have undergone background checks, and follow all labels on the materials they use in and around your home or business.
As a pest control company based right here in Northeast and Southeast Pennsylvania, we know how important it is to have a local company that understands the area and the pests you are dealing with. We also know that customer service is important; almost as important as pest management. We schedule our services for times that are convenient for you and since we understand that “life happens”, we can reschedule your appointment at any time right up until the moment your technician arrives.
What to Expect - Procor's Pest Control Process
Key Stages to Procor’s Pest Management
While price is important, it should not be the only thing that you consider. Here are some questions you should be asking pest control companies you may potentially hire to treat your home or business.
- Are you licensed?
- Are your technicians individually licensed?
- How many years of experience does my technician have?
- Are you taking precautions to protect my children and pets?
- What preparations must be completed prior to your treatment?
- Do you have a local office that I can call directly if I have any issues or questions?
Your comfort level with their responses to these questions should influence your decision just as much if not more than the price alone.
If you’re a homeowner, then chances are you don’t need someone to come out monthly unless you’re having a severe issue that needs special attention. In almost all cases you only need to have your home serviced 3 times a year to keep almost all pests out of the house.
If you own a business or manage pest control for your company, depending on the type of business it is, monthly pest control is almost always recommended if not required.
If you consider the low monthly price of the Pro365 versus the cost of a one time service for a specific pest problem, you’ll see the value of our Pro365 service. A one-time service comes with a 30-day warranty for just the one pest that you had an issue with, while the Pro365 covers all of the most common household pests 365 days a year.
For your business, it is one of the best investments you can make. If you consider the potential of downtime or lost inventory due to pests, then there is no way you can afford to NOT have pest control.
While most people only think about pest control when they have an issue, the most common type of pest control is preventative maintenance services. When your home or business is serviced on a regular basis you can rest easy knowing that we’re only a phone call, text, or email away to take care of anything that may pop up.
There are things that you can do to lower your risks of getting pests into your home that vary from pest to pest. It’s always a good idea to keep bushes, shrubs, and trees from touching your home or hanging over your roof, they act as a highway for pests to find your home and enter it.
Keeping your mulch away from the house by 6 inches as well as having at least 4 inches of exposed foundation are great ways to reduce your chances of getting pests like ants and termites into your home.
Closing up any openings larger than the tip of your pinky finger is a great way to keep out mice. Your Procor technician will go over all of these things with you and offer any suggestions they can on ways you can reduce pest pressures in your home. Of course the best way you can prevent a pest infestation is by having a regular pest control program in your home or business.
