What to look for in a Contractor

Before agreeing to a contract the following points should be checked with your contractor:

  • BPCA Membership – This ensures that you are dealing with a professional pest control contractor who is bound by the rules of the BPCA
  • A full written quotation, including a free survey. This should include full details of the terms of the contract, and will identify which pests, the number of scheduled visits per year, and the price. These details will vary depending on the type of premises and the individual requirements. The number of scheduled inspections may vary from 4 to 20. This depends on the type of contract, cover required and risk factor. We recommend at least 8 scheduled inspections for food premises. A domestic house may only need 4 scheduled inspections per year while a rubbish tip may need 20.
  • Evidence of adequate technical resources and of training and qualifications of service staff, supervisors and management. Membership of PROMPT (Professional Pest Controllers Register) is a usually a good measure of a technicians skill level.
  • Proof of adequate public liability, product liability and employers’ liability insurance cover.
  • The ability to offer proofing and other preventative measures such as advice on housekeeping, storage, waste disposal, cleaning and the detection and monitoring of pest populations.
  • Reporting procedures giving clear accountability on both sides.
