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
Confirm the diagnosis
Ask what signs distinguish moles from gophers, voles, irrigation damage, or turf problems.
2
Review the method
Get the trap type or product name, legal restrictions, safety steps, and non-target precautions in writing.
3
Define the price
Confirm inspection fees, included visits, trap checks, removal, lawn repair, and cancellation terms.
4
Set follow-up criteria
Agree on how new activity will be measured and what any warranty actually covers.
