Name the pest if you can, and note where and when you see it. Termites, rodents and ants need very different approaches.
Companies that apply pesticides are regulated in Virginia. Ask for the license and proof of insurance and confirm with the state.
Look at how many visits, which pests are covered, whether re-service is free and whether there is a long contract.

Get a written estimate and plan from two or three companies. Ask about cancellation and warranty terms before you sign.
