RID Pest Control provide a warranty against many of our services.
Our warranties are offered in addition to the statutory rights and remedies that may be available to you under Australian Consumer Law.
Your invoice / service report will detail the warranty period provided for the services provided or the pests treated.
What is the RID warranty?
The RID warranty is essentially a FREE SERVICE PERIOD where we will provide remedial re treatment to the initially treated property AT NO FURTHER COST TO YOU. It’s our guarantee to you that we’ll get RID of them! So while in simple terms it’s a warranty we really believe it to be a free service period… as part of our customer care offering post treatment.
Your technician will explain the warranty to you and reasonable expectations and any limitations to the warranty based upon the specifics of your site / property. Warranties given expressly on the service report or invoice can vary from site to site and property to property and are not assured to be pest specific.
For example: We may warrant spider treatments for a period of 6 months in typical circumstances, however, there may be structural, design or environmental limitations that can mean we offer a lesser warranty of say, 3 months. The effectiveness of the treatment applied is assessed by the technician who performs the treatment and a reasonable warranty will be provided to you after consideration of any factors deemed to inhibit the effectiveness of our treatment. This will be explained to you on the day of treatment.
The warranty provided commences from the date of the service performed.
Any guarantee or warranty made by RID Pest Control shall not apply unless the customer has paid all monies owing for the services provided by us.
How a warranty claim works
Although unlikely, If after RID has treated a specific pest problem around your home you continue to experience an issue with the targeted pest(s) simply contact RID Pest Control by phone or email to discuss and we’ll schedule an appointment for us to re-attend and retreat the pests until they’re gone.
In fact we encourage every customer to contact us if something isn’t meeting their expectations! We GUARANTEE satisfaction and will re attend if you let us know something isn’t right.
Note: Some pests species we require time for the treatment to be completely effective and therefore we may not provide a re treatment until a certain amount of time has passed. This is often because of the professional and specific nature of the products used and the fact that they may take some time to bring an infestation under control, your technician will provide details about this sort of thing at the time of your service.
For example: Spider treatments – we won’t retreat unless 4 weeks has passed since treatment. This is because we need to allow the residual effects of the products to start working. For Rodents, we guarantee to get RID of them, and require a minimum 2 weeks before a re treatment to allow sufficient time for bait uptake and control.
Re treatments do not extend the warranty beyond the original warranty offered but are all about ensuring your expectations are met and that we’ve done what we said we would do!
While we understand that the common expectation is that once we’ve left your home there will be no more pests, our professional training, experience and knowledge assist us in knowing that this will not always be the case. We will aim to provide some initial advice and basic education specific to your pest problem at the conclusion of your treatment but it is important to understand that certain pests will necessarily remain for a short time after treatment because of the nature of the treatment. Eg: Rodents – need to allow some time post treatment for control.
For general pest and spider treatments areas and building elements such as sheds, fences, play equipment and other fully weather exposed areas are not covered by our normal warranty. Internal areas and well sheltered external areas that aren’t subject to such extreme environmental degradation are fully warranted.
Our written warranty policy doesn’t account entirely for the fact that we’re very passionately committed to ensuring customer satisfaction. We’d love to discuss any disappointments you may have and are always happy to remedy your concerns one way or another. Even after the warranty period! You might find some professional advice makes all the difference!
