In addition, the STCCPSA should include information about how to protect the property from pests.

Indemnification coverage must be based on the amount of liability incurred by the party being indemnified. However, indemnification cannot be deemed a waiver of sovereignty by the Owner. The Contractor must be insured against any liability resulting from their professional services. For example, a contractor who is required to be licensed or certified must have this coverage. In addition, a Commercial Pest Control Service Agreement must be reviewed periodically to ensure the Contractor’s quality and effectiveness.

Credit check

Before a customer signs a commercial pest control service agreement, the company will run a standard credit check.

You should ask about the company’s membership in the National Pest Management Association or the Better Business Bureau. You can also check for company recommendations. You may have to seek other service providers if the company does not belong to any of these organizations. The Better Business Bureau is a great place to start. Its online document management system allows customers to view the paperwork at their own pace. And it’s mobile-friendly, too!
