Do You Really Need Professional Pest Control Services?

While many pest control tasks are easy and inexpensive to DIY, your job just might require a pro.

Most homes will have their fair share of unwanted critters. Not only can pests leave behind toxic messes and contribute to allergies, but they can also potentially damage the structure of your home. Some pest control problems should be handled by a professional, but other issues can be a do-it-yourself project.

Where Are They Coming From? Each season comes with its own smaller-than-life household inhabitants, and they usually come in groups. The sightings of such bugs like ants, spiders, termites, and roaches usually mean that there is outside access to the inside of your territory. This can be hard to find, but often off-the-shelf pesticides can do the job if you spray them in the right places. Preventing pests from coming in, and paying attention to seasonal problems, is often the first step in preventing a major pest issue.

DIY Pest Control: You can use over-the-counter pesticides to kill pests as well as prevent them from entering the home. Most manufacturers recommend spraying obvious openings around doors and windows, as well as rooms like garages and attics. Be sure to get other less-visible points of entry like where the pipes enter the home such as under the sink. This can prevent infestations from happening in the first place. Be sure you are aware of the health risks to your family and pets with the chemicals you’re using, follow directions and take all the necessary safety precautions.

When to Call a Professional: When the problem is too overwhelming for self-treatment, or when the risk of infestation could cause serious damage to your home, it is likely time to hire a professional. Many pest control contractors use high-tech equipment and chemicals that are safe for children and pets and will leave your house pest free for the long-term.

The benefits of hiring a pro are the guarantee of all equipment and services, and peace of mind knowing they are trained to handle a variety of situations. Pest control professionals are intimately familiar with the various species of pests, their life cycles, and living habits. As a bonus, they also offer free estimates, putting their trained eyes on the dark corners of your home to see where exactly the pests are living.

Some pests, like carpenter ants, termites, or rats, can do serious structural damage to your home. This kind of extermination is best left to professionals. An exterminator may recommend that a contractor come in to do repairs or make changes to the structure of your home. Before doing anything that expensive, be sure to get a second opinion.
