Why should we choose Mick's Exterminating to solve our pest problem?
The most important reason is our desire to offer the best possible service. We are always on the cutting edge of new technology, seeking ways of providing our customers with better solutions to their pests problems. We offer Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which focuses on decreasing reliance on pesticides to achieve long-term solutions to pest problems. Our services are individualized because a "one-size-fits-all" concept won't work in many instances. Our office staff is trained to help you decide what plan of action is best suited for your pest problem.

Do you offer any type of regular service?
Our programs are structured to fit individual needs: Our quarterly program takes an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) approach to pest management.

Are the products you use safe for my pets?
The Products we use are safe if you followed the instructions given by the technician. You should make sure that all toys, pet bowls, pet toys, etc. are removed from the floor or yard before our treatment. Children or pets should not be allowed to contact treated areas until the product is dry, in most cases four hours. We use chemicals that have little or no odor, but people with breathing problems should not be in the home during treatment. Make sure your technician is advised of any conditions that cause you concern.

Are you licensed?
We developed our own training program, which has been approved by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. All of our state certified service technicians must complete this training before they may service your home or business

What is QualityPro?
QualityPro is the "Mark of Excellence" in pest management. QualityPro companies are committed to providing customers with the highest quality pest control services. Customer satisfaction is the primary goal of QualityPro companies, and they deliver on this by hiring top-notch employees and clearly explaining all pest control practices.

How much does it cost to treat my home?
That depends on what pests are present; some pests may only require a one-time general service, but others may require a monthly service, power treatments, fogging, special products or special service. Our office personnel can help give you an idea of what it will cost to solve your pest problem.

Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we take Visa, Master Card, and Discover. We also accept Personal checks and cash.

What Termite protection do you recommend?
In most cases we recommend the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System, since the protection lasts as long as it is being monitored, whereas all barrier treatments will break down eventually. We also recommend installing this system as a preventative measure, much like an alarm system, it will alert us to termites in the area before they do serious damage to a structure. No other method of termite control has been proven to eliminate entire termite colonies.
