Well, it doesn't take money.... None of these companies or individuals are either asked or required
to pay for any listing or referral they might get from this site. I urge any exterminator that insists
on "paying me," to just make a donation, in both our names, to your favorite charity. My favorite, in
case you don't have one, is The Salvation Army.
To get on the Good Guys Page, what it DOES
take, as far as I'm concerned, is a basic old-fashioned interest in the customer, sort of a "country
doctor" outlook, one that includes honesty, the prudent use of chemicals, (otherwise referred to as IPM)
efficient service and only the utmost reliability in every shape and form.
You will notice I didn't
say "cheapest." We all know that "cheapest" isn't always the best way. In fact, it almost never is.
A consumer, in need of an exterminator, is faced with a wide array of choices, just open the ol' Yellow
Pages. Since our industry is really an expertise rather than a science, all exterminators will have
different specifications for what they do. The consumer's job is to figure out which ones are using
smoke and mirrors and pick the one(s) that will "do right." Not an easy job in today's world.
The
gentlemen I have listed back on the "Good Guys" Page are dedicated, careful professionals that are
there to help the customer, not themselves. I trust them all - you can too.
