Is Your Bug Guy right for You?

First let me start by saying, not all bug guys are created equal. Some are good and some are bad. Some of it is not their fault, and some of it is. There are three main factors in determining if your bug guy is right for you. The first is how they are trained. A bug guy's training is very important. If he is not trained properly, your home won't be serviced properly, leaving you susceptible to bugs. The best way to determine if your bug guy is trained properly is by asking him questions. A well trained bug guy should be able to answer most of your questions regarding how the service is performed, what specific things can be done to control specific bugs and other questions of that nature. If he does not know the answer to your question he should be trained to answer honestly by telling you he does not know the answer to your question, but will be happy to find out for you. Again, it is very important for your bug man to be well trained but if he is not, a good work ethic can make up for his lack of training. This brings me to the second factor determining if  your bug guy is right for you, his work ethic.  A bug guys work ethic can make up for some of the lack of training. If he has a good work ethic, he will want to make sure that he does the best that he can for you. He will train himself by trial and error. You will need to have a little patience with him, but a hard working self trained bug guy can be a very good bug guy to have. For the third factor ask yourself,  "Is my bug guy likable and trustworthy?"  Your bug guy is going to be walking in and around your home, seeing your personal belongings and interacting with your family and your pets. He needs to be a person that you trust with all of this. Now you won't be able to determine this right away. This is something that is built up over time. The best way to help this process along is to talk to your bug guy. You can tell a lot about a person just from talking. A good bug guy will want you to feel like you can trust him so he will be happy to help you get there. Now if your bug guy is neither well trained, has a good work ethic, nor is personable and trustworthy or if any one of these single factors is lacking and is to big to over look, I would have to say, your bug guy is not right for you.
