- License
- Held by the contractor and issued in District of Columbia. Ask which name it is held under — a trading name and the licensed entity are often not the same.

- The call
- Describing what you found commits you to nothing. Nothing is booked until you say so.
- Coverage
- By town, not by region. Washington and the towns around it.
Where they get in around Washington
A large part of Washington is apartment and multi-unit housing, and that decides where the work happens. Insects and mice move along the risers — A the vertical chases carrying pipe and wire between floors — so a unit can be spotless and still get traffic from two floors down, B through the wall it shares with the next one.
Say the floor and which side of the building when you call, and whether anyone else in the building has reported the same thing. A technician treats the path, not just the room.
What to say when you call
- →What it looked like and which room it was in. A trail along a counter and a single insect in a bathroom point at different things.
- →How long it has been going on, and whether it is spreading.
- →Whether you rent. About half the homes in Washington are rented, and a rental visit is usually booked by whoever owns the building — it changes who signs and who gets scheduled.
- →Whether anyone next door or upstairs has reported it. Through a shared wall or riser it is one problem, not two.
- →The address, so it reaches a technician working District of Columbia.

What happens after the call
You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.
A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
