Disclaimer

Oregon Pest Control operates exclusively as a free referral service connecting homeowners and businesses throughout the state of Oregon with independent pest control professionals. By using this website, requesting referrals, or contacting any service provider through our platform, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in this disclaimer. We encourage all users to read this information carefully before proceeding with any service arrangement.

Not a Pest Control Company

Oregon Pest Control is not a licensed pest control company and does not employ technicians, applicators, or inspectors. We do not perform pest inspections, extermination services, wildlife removal, or any other hands-on pest management activities. Our sole function is to facilitate connections between consumers seeking pest control solutions and qualified local contractors who may be able to meet their needs. We do not set pricing, schedule appointments, guarantee service outcomes, or otherwise participate in the contractual relationship between you and any service provider.

Independent Contractors

All pest control professionals referred through our service are independent contractors operating their own businesses. These contractors are not employees, agents, or representatives of Oregon Pest Control. Each contractor maintains their own licensing, insurance, bonding, and compliance with Oregon Department of Agriculture regulations and other applicable state and local laws. We do not supervise, direct, or control the work performed by these independent professionals. Any agreement for services, including scope of work, warranties, and payment terms, is strictly between you and the contractor you select.

No Endorsement or Liability

Referral of a contractor through our service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or certification of that contractor's qualifications, workmanship, or business practices. Oregon Pest Control makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality, timeliness, safety, or legality of services performed by any referred contractor. We expressly disclaim all liability for any damages, losses, injuries, or disputes arising from your interactions with or services provided by any independent contractor. This includes but is not limited to property damage, personal injury, ineffective treatment, or contractual disputes. Your use of any referred contractor is at your sole risk.

Verification Responsibility

It is your responsibility as a homeowner or property owner to verify the credentials, licensing status, insurance coverage, and references of any contractor before engaging their services. In Oregon, structural pest control operators must be licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. We strongly recommend confirming active licensure, requesting proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance, and checking customer reviews or complaints through the Better Business Bureau or Oregon Attorney General's office. Oregon Pest Control does not independently verify or monitor contractor credentials on an ongoing basis and assumes no duty to do so.

Informational Purposes

All content provided on this website, including articles, guides, pest identification resources, and treatment information, is for general informational purposes only. This content does not constitute professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a licensed pest control professional, particularly regarding specific infestation identification, pesticide selection, or integrated pest management strategies. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee completeness or currency of information. Environmental regulations, pesticide registrations, and best practices change over time, and local conditions may vary significantly across Oregon's diverse climates and ecosystems.

Emergency Situations

Pest-related situations involving immediate threats to human health or safety require emergency response. If you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency due to a sting, bite, or exposure to pesticides or other substances, call 911 immediately. This includes severe allergic reactions, respiratory distress, or suspected poisoning. For urgent pest situations that pose imminent structural dangers, such as aggressive stinging insect nests in high-traffic areas or wildlife presenting an active threat, contact your local emergency services or animal control agency. For non-emergency pest control referrals and general inquiries, you may contact Oregon Pest Control at (888) 239-7622. Please note that this line is not monitored for emergencies and response times vary.
