THE FORMULA

What Goes Into The PA Score?

6 criteria, out of 100 points:

  1. 25POINTS

    Customer satisfaction

    Ratings and reviews from Google and other platforms where available, adjusted for volume, so a 5.0 on 12 reviews does not beat a 4.8 on 400.

  2. 20POINTS

    Licensing and insurance

    Licence and insurance information published by the business, checked against the provincial licence record where one is public.

  3. 15POINTS

    Responsiveness

    How quickly the business replies to customers and whether it offers emergency or same-day service.

  4. 15POINTS

    Service range

    The pests treated, for homes and businesses.

  5. 15POINTS

    Transparency

    Published prices, free or written estimates, warranties and follow-up visits.

  6. 10POINTS

    Experience and track record

    Years in business and how the business handles complaints.

OUR RULES

Are Paid Listings Part Of The Ranking?

No. Scores are computed without knowing who pays, and a paid placement never changes a score or a rank. Paid placements appear only as Verified partner cards, tagged Sponsored and kept outside the numbered list.

How Often Is This Ranking Updated?

We collect and score each city again at least every 6 months.

Can A Business Ask To Be Corrected Or Removed?

Facts, yes. If a phone number, address, opening hours or website is wrong, tell us through our contact page and we correct it at the next update, the same way for every business, paying or not. We do not remove a business from a ranking on request, so the ranking stays complete and fair. Two exceptions: a business that has closed is removed, and a sole proprietor's personal information, such as a home address, is removed or replaced on request.
