Property-specific evidence

Questions to answer before traps are set

A city name or climate average cannot diagnose a lawn. The provider should explain what was observed at the property and why those observations support the proposed method.

  • What evidence identifies the selected runway as active?
  • Which trap type will be used, and is it legal at this property?
  • How often will traps be checked, and who handles removal or disposal?
  • Is pricing per visit, per trap, per captured animal, or for a fixed program?

Before authorizing work

  1. 1

    Confirm the diagnosis

    Ask what signs distinguish moles from gophers, voles, irrigation damage, or turf problems.

  2. 2

    Review the method

    Get the trap type or product name, legal restrictions, safety steps, and non-target precautions in writing.

  3. 3

    Define the price

    Confirm inspection fees, included visits, trap checks, removal, lawn repair, and cancellation terms.

  4. 4

    Set follow-up criteria

    Agree on how new activity will be measured and what any warranty actually covers.
