When it comes to choosing a scooper to clean your yard be sure to ask the right questions. Below are three questions that anyone looking for a scooping service should ask and you the possible client should be sure to listen to all of the answers carefully. Always beware and listen to what they say or maybe we should say what they do not say. We know we may have answered some of these before but it is never a bad thing to make sure the right questions are asked.
Are you insured?
This should be the first question out of your mouth for anyone wanting to clean the dog waste out of your yard. Anyone can say they run a pet waste removal company but if they are not insured they do not have your pet’s best interest in mind. What happens when they leave a gate open and your dog gets out? Or what if they do not sanitize their tools between jobs and they spread a disease to you pets? Make sure your scooper has insurance or show him/her the door.
Do you have an initial clean-up fee?
Many companies claim no initial clean-up fee but be sure to read the fine print. If you do read the fine print you will usually see words like if there is a lot of build-up you could be subject to an additional fee. The only time there should be a lot of buildup overall is before the initial cleaning is done, if they are going to charge you extra then that would be an initial clean-up fee.
Do you have a contract?
The simple answer is YES, every company has a contract. If they say they do not be sure to ask if you can get a cheaper price. When you ask usually they will give you a lower price but they will present you with a contract. Also beware with many contracts they will require you to pay at least half of it up front or all of it in one lump sum.
