Third-Party Consultation Services

When faced with persistent pest issues that go unresolved despite the best efforts of your current pest control provider, enlisting a third party for consultation can provide insight to help address consistent areas of concern. This is a common and frustrating challenge any business can face. Often, the situation feels dire enough that the only solution is calling yet another pest control company. While this can sometimes help, it usually leads to a cycle of switching providers who offer conflicting advice and inconsistent results.

The root of the problem is clear: many pest control companies rely on salespeople with limited understanding and experience to effectively diagnose and prescribe solutions. This creates an inherent conflict of interest—salespeople often have a singular goal: to make a sale, not effectively solve complex pest issues. The limited understanding of entomology and pest management frequently results in businesses wasting money, increasing frustration, and eroding trust.

Ecologic Entomology offers unbiased consultation assessments that provide businesses with a clear explanation of a failing pest control program. Our consultation services are free from motives to sell you a product or service. Our findings are documented in a detailed report, empowering businesses and decision-makers with the information they need to make better decisions and save time, money, and resources.
