|---|---|---|
| Exterior conditions | Moisture, mulch, vegetation, gaps, and entry points affect whether treatment holds. | Which exterior conditions should the homeowner correct before or after service? |
| 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? |
| Follow-up policy | A cheap first visit can be poor value if retreatment or monitoring is excluded. | How many visits are included, and what triggers a no-charge callback? |
