2. Service Description
Pest InMyArea operates as a comprehensive platform connecting users with professional pest control services. Our platform serves as an intermediary, facilitating connections between property owners and qualified pest control providers. We maintain a detailed directory of verified pest control professionals, provide educational resources about pest management, and offer a platform for authentic user reviews and ratings. While we strive to ensure the accuracy and reliability of information on our platform, we do not directly provide pest control services or guarantee the quality of services provided by listed professionals. Our role is to facilitate connections and provide informational resources to help users make informed decisions about their pest control needs.
3. User Responsibilities
As a user of Pest InMyArea, you accept responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information updated. Users are prohibited from creating multiple accounts, sharing account credentials, or accessing the service through automated means without our express permission. You agree to use the service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, respecting the intellectual property rights of others, and adhering to our community guidelines. Any violation of these responsibilities may result in immediate termination of your account and access to our services.
4. Business Listings
Service providers listed on our platform must maintain current and valid licensing, insurance, and certifications as required by their local jurisdictions. Businesses are required to provide accurate and truthful information about their services, pricing, and availability. We require proof of professional credentials and conduct periodic verification checks to maintain the integrity of our directory. Listed businesses must respond to customer inquiries promptly and professionally, maintain appropriate safety standards, and comply with all applicable regulations and industry standards. We reserve the right to remove or suspend business listings that receive consistent negative feedback, violate our terms, or fail to maintain required credentials.

Our review system is designed to provide authentic, unbiased feedback about pest control services. Users may only submit reviews based on genuine first-hand experiences with listed service providers. Reviews must be factual, relevant, and free from discriminatory, offensive, or fraudulent content. We actively moderate reviews to ensure compliance with our content guidelines and maintain the integrity of our platform.

We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate our guidelines or appear fraudulent, and we may suspend accounts engaged in review manipulation.
