How to Compare Termite Control Companies

1. Is the pest control company you are considering well established?
It is an unfortunate fact that many businesses fail. The best guarantee in the world is useless if the company issuing it is no longer in business. Be sure that your home is insured and protected with a well established firm. Horne’s Pest Control has been in business over 40 years, making us one of the oldest pest control companies in the area.
2. Does the damage repair warranty begin on day one? Does the termite company you are considering cover damages, both structural and cosmetic
Many companies have a waiting period before their termite warranty begins – some up to two years. You pay for a treatment and warranty only to find out that termites continue to eat and damage your home for two years before your protection goes into effect. Horne’s Pest Control covers both the home and it’s contents, to include wallpaper, paint and
home furnishings beginning on day one.
3. Does the price quoted include everything? Are there hidden charges?
Many companies disguise their fees. They will charge an install fee, then a quarterly monitoring fee, a baiting fee, fees for replacement caps, etc. Find out how much the total price is for the entire first year of control and how much the total maintenance price is for each subsequent year. At Horne’s, there are no hidden fees. Our install price includes
everything for the first year, and annual warranty fee includes everything for each subsequent year.
4. Does the termite company you are considering train all of it’s staff members or just upper level management and tenured staff members?
Horne’s Pest Control believes that the technician who services your home should get as much if not more training than the managers. These are the people who are actually applying insecticides in and around your home.
5. Does the termite company you are considering have a damage repair deductible or a limit on the amount of damage they will cover?
In the unlikely event that the treatment fails and your home gets termites, Horne’s Pest Control is there to make sure your home is returned to it’s original condition without any additional payments from you.
6. Does the termite company you are considering cover both domestic and imported subterranean termites?
There is an imported termite called the Formosan termite. This termite has been located in other counties in both Georgia and South Carolina. It has not been found in the CSRA, but if it does arrive Horne’s Pest Control will protect you.
7. Does the termite company you are considering only install a bait system without any supplemental work?
Why only do the minimum? As explained in this brochure Horne’s Pest Control combines several methods of termite treatment for maximum protection against this underground threat.
