LocalServ.Pro — Pest Control Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

Good pest control starts with identification. Describe where you saw activity, when it occurs, and any damage or droppings; photographs can help without requiring you to handle the pest. Ask the provider to explain the evidence before committing to a broad recurring treatment plan.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
What evidence identifies this species?
Which entry points or moisture problems need separate repairs?
What is covered if activity returns, and what costs extra?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
