Have your technical lead compare the exact wording with the products, labels, precautions, and evidence that apply. Remove a blanket safety promise you cannot support. The FTC requires advertising claims to be truthful and evidence-based. EPA explains that pesticide labels contain enforceable use directions and precautions. [FTC advertising standard, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-marketing), [EPA label explanation, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-labels/introduction-pesticide-labels). This article concerns website wording and review. Product selection, exposure questions, and site-specific instructions belong with qualified people and the applicable source documents. ## Find the claim everywhere it appears Search the home page, pest pages, booking form, image captions, and downloadable preparation sheets. Include headings and badges. Save the exact wording with its page address. Look for phrases such as harmless, non-toxic, safe for every pet, chemical-free, and no preparation needed. Treat them as claims to investigate. Do not approve them because they have appeared on the site for years. For each phrase, identify the service it describes. A statement on a general home page may appear to describe every treatment. Ask the technical reviewer whether the available evidence supports that breadth. ## Create a claim record for the reviewer Use this proposed worksheet to keep copy and evidence together. Leave an unanswered cell unresolved until the responsible person supplies it. | Review field | What to record | | --- | --- | | Exact public wording | The complete heading or sentence | | Scope | Pest, service, property type, and product when applicable | | Supporting material | Current label and other evidence reviewed | | Conditions | Limits or precautions needed to understand the statement | | Reviewer | Person responsible for the technical answer | | Approved replacement | Exact wording accepted for publication | Keep the approved wording tied to the current service. A new product or procedure should trigger another review before the same phrase is reused. EPA warns customers about service providers that claim government endorsement. Avoid turning a registration reference into an endorsement badge. [EPA's pest-service selection guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/tips-selecting-pest-control-service). ## Replace unsupported reassurance with an answerable question If you lack evidence for the safety claim, remove it. A proposed replacement is: “Tell the office about pets when you request service. Ask for the instructions that apply to the planned visit.” Have your technical lead approve even that process statement. Explain who handles product and preparation questions. Link a current, approved preparation resource when one exists. Avoid offering a universal return time or copying instructions from an unrelated treatment. Make the website's promise match what the office does. If the office confirms details after inspection, say so. Do not place a reassuring headline above contradictory conditions buried at the bottom. ## Keep the request form narrow Let a visitor flag that they have a pet-related question. Ask for the contact method and service context needed for a qualified reply. Avoid collecting detailed medical or veterinary histories in an introductory form. Label the field as a question for staff review. Do not design an automatic answer that selects a product or interprets a label. Keep the submitted wording intact in the office record. Arrange an authorized test with a fictional service question and contact details you control. Require the technical question to reach the intended person. The confirmation should acknowledge receipt without promising a treatment outcome. ## Check the revised page as a whole Read the headline, images, captions, and request button together. Ask whether the final page communicates a broader safety promise than the approved sentence. Remove any badge or image text that reintroduces the rejected claim. Save the original wording, accepted replacement, source date, and reviewer. Record which pages received the correction. Assign someone to inspect the copy when services or preparation instructions change. This process supplies a documented website decision. It does not certify a pesticide or settle a customer's exposure concern. Use the [pest control website overview](/for/pest-control-companies) to connect approved facts with service requests.
