There are a number of factors that may differentiate pest control companies from one another. Following are some general guidelines for choosing a pest control company:
-Look for a reputable company with representatives knowledgeable about pest and/or termite habits, types of construction, treatment specifications and state regulations.
-Ask friends and associates to recommend companies they have used.
-Look for memberships in industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) that provide ethical guidelines and technical information.
-Find out if continued coverage is offered that includes treatment for reinfestation and repairs for future damage and ask if it is renewable.
-Be certain the company is licensed by your state's regulatory agency.

Located in the extreme northeast corner of the United States, Maine consists largely of a coastal plain of eroded valleys, with more resistant rock forming the generally mountainous west (the Longfellow Mts., an extension of the White Mts. and part of the great Appalachian system), Mt. Desert and other islands in the east, and isolated peaks including Katahdin (5,268 ft/1,606 m), the highest point in the state. Receding glaciers deposited long drift ridges across the countryside and dammed the valleys to form more than 2,200 lakes (Moosehead Lake is the largest) and to establish new, rugged watercourses for more than 5,000 streams and rivers. The major rivers are the St. John (which, with the St. Croix, forms part of the international boundary with New Brunswick), the Penobscot, the Kennebec, the Androscoggin, and the Saco.
