At a minimum, companies need state licenses to practice pest control in Wisconsin. However, to find the right pest control company for your needs, look for companies that provide more than just the basics. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends looking for quality and value when selecting a pest control provider, and we second that recommendation. You can evaluate a pest control company by considering its:
It’s important to choose a competent company because if pesticides are misused, they can damage both your health and your property.
Pest control pricing depends on the type of pest, the infestation level, the location of the pest and the size of the home or business. Expect to pay between $75 and $300 for a one-time visit, $800 or more for a severe infestation and roughly $400 for the initial service on a recurring contract. You can get a more exact cost estimate by looking at average costs for the infestation you have:
A reputable pest control company should guarantee its work and provide a detailed estimate following your initial consultation.
How often should pest control be done in Madison?
If you have a serious infestation, monthly treatments should be ongoing for at least three to six months. If you recently got rid of a pest and want to ensure it doesn’t come back, an annual plan with quarterly visits might be all that’s necessary.
How do you prevent bed bugs?
To prevent bed bugs, the EPA recommends frequent vacuuming, reducing clutter and carefully inspecting all luggage, secondhand furniture and laundry washed at public facilities before bringing them home.
Are landlords responsible for bed bugs in Madison?
It depends on what type of home you rent. Madison General Ordinance 27.07(d) states that property owners are responsible for extermination in any residence other than single-family homes.
How do you know if you have carpenter ants?
Sawdust left behind from tunneling through wood is a sign that carpenter ants are in your home. They also shed their wings, which you can spot near window sills and baseboards. In walls, where they make their nests, you may also be able to hear them scraping out wood particles.
Who regulates pest control companies in Wisconsin?
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection oversees the state’s pest control companies. However, the Bureau of Agrichemical Management certifies pesticide applicators once they pass examinations and licenses businesses. Request to see your pest control provider’s license to verify that they are a legal applicator. You can also search the state’s online certified pesticide applicator database.
