SHAH ALAM: IT IS important for homeowners to ensure the pest control provider they hire is registered, employs licensed workers and is equipped for the job before engaging its service.
Pest React Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Kelvin Low said there was a mass of unlicensed operators in the industry and operating without a licence was “unethical”.
“It is important to get a licence because the operator needs to understand every poison used.
“If the pesticide mix is less than it should be, it is ineffective in getting rid of pests and if it is mixed excessively, it could harm the occupants or customers of the building.”
Despite having employed pest specialists, the root of problems could not be solved, said Low.
“There are some pest control companies that arrive (at customers’ premises) with pesticides in mineral water bottles. Customers are not able to identify the pesticide as there are no labels on the bottles.
“Customers have the right to know the type of the pesticides being used and whether they are registered with the Pesticide Board,” he said, here, recently.
Pest React offers pest control services founded by Low, an expert with more than 13 years of experience in the field.
The company ensures that its employees are licensed to carry out pest control services, in accordance with the guidelines provided by local authorities.
“At Pest React, we offer free consultation sessions with customers first, where we explain in detail about the pesticides and their effects.
“Experts from Pest React will be on-site in a special van equipped with pesticides and pest control tools, which will help them carry out their tasks quickly and efficiently.
“Pest React also provides an
after-service warranty with 100 per cent money-back guarantee
if termite problems are not
controlled.
The DNA test of termites would tell the origin of the colony, added Low.
