## What an hourly figure may not tell you

- whether inspection or diagnosis is included;
- which pest and areas are covered;
- whether materials or equipment are extra;
- whether travel or access time is included;
- whether monitoring or a return visit is included;
- what happens if the reported pest is misidentified;
- whether proofing recommendations are part of the service.

A fixed scope is not automatically better either. The point is to understand the finding, included work, exclusions and next step.

## Compare the outcome you are buying

Ask each provider to describe the pest problem, treatment areas, preparation, follow-up and written records. Then compare equivalent scopes. Time can be one input, but it is not the service itself.

### Why do some providers quote by the job?

### Should I choose the fastest quote?

Not without checking the scope. A shorter visit is not better if diagnosis, access or necessary treatment areas are omitted.
