What to expect when you hire a pest control contractor in Polk County

How Soul Pest Control works

1. Schedule your inspection

   Call (580) 730-1209 or request a quote online. We work around your schedule, Monday through Saturday.

2. We inspect the property

   A full walk-through covering entry points, harborage areas, and the conditions that attract Florida pests like roaches, ants, and rodents.

3. Clear plan, plain English

   You get a written treatment plan before any work starts, explaining the products, the methods, and the results to expect.

4. Treatment done right

   Targeted application using EPA-registered products, from crack and crevice treatments to perimeter barriers and bait stations.

5. Follow-up report

   After each visit you receive a report of what was treated and what to watch for, so nothing is left unclear.

Typical project, not a quote

These are general figures for a typical pest control contractor project, not a quote and not a promise from Soul Pest Control. Your project may differ.

• A first visit to look at the work usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
• Small jobs often take a day or two. Larger projects take longer, and an estimate should say how long.
• Weather, deliveries and permits can move a start date or a finish date, so ask how delays are handled.
• A change to the work usually changes the price. Ask for the change and its price in writing before it is done.
• Ask what is and is not included, such as cleanup, disposal and repairs to anything that has to be opened up.
• Many contractors ask for a deposit first and the balance when the work is finished.
• Prices, dates and terms for your project belong in a written estimate. Ask for it in writing.

Questions to ask any pest control contractor

1. Can I see your license number and proof of insurance?
2. What does the written estimate cover, and what would change the price?
3. How long will the job take, and what happens if the schedule slips?
4. Who will be on site each day, and who do I call with a question?
5. What is not included, and how is payment split?

Preparing and scheduling

How long does the first visit take?

A first visit to look at the work usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Bring your questions and ask for the estimate in writing.

How should I get ready before work starts?

Clear a path to the work area, move valuables and fragile things out of the way, and tell the crew about pets and who will be home.

How far ahead should I book?

Schedules vary by season and by contractor. Ask for a start date and an estimated finish date in writing, and ask what happens if weather or a delivery moves them.

What if the work changes once it has started?

A change to the work usually changes the price. Ask for the change and its price in writing before it is done.

When do I pay?

Many contractors ask for a deposit before the work and the balance when it is finished. Terms vary, so ask for them in writing before you agree.
