| Pest category | General insects, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and wildlife are usually scoped and priced separately. | Which pests are covered by this visit and which need a separate quote? |
| Warranty limits | Some warranties exclude sanitation issues, structural entry points, or heavy infestations. | What conditions would void the service guarantee? |
