Check their Licenses
Make sure the pest manager has a current pest control license issued by NSW Environment Protection Authority. They should be able to show you their license on request.
The EPA public register allows you to check the license status of your pest manager.
Ask to see their Insurance
Licenses and insurance are two separate things. A pest manager may have a license to carry out the work but they may not be insured to carry out the work. Without insurance, if anything goes wrong, you are not protected.
Make sure their insurance covers pest work. The pest control company needs to provide you with a copy of their insurance if requested.
