There are a lot of DIY pest control products on the market. Some of them work well and other, not so good. They all have one thing in common, none of them address preventative pest control.

DIY Pest Products Keep You Coming Back for More

Whether you are trying to exterminate ants, cockroach, fleas, or some other pest, DIY products work only so well and then your pest issue returns. Take rodent control and mouse traps, for example. They kill off the mice that come into your home, but they do nothing to prevent new mice from finding their way inside. The same is true of roach products. They kill off a few roaches that venture inside, but they do nothing about the eggs, pupa, or larva. Flea control for your pets is a monthly cycle and expense. Buy, buy, and then buy some more. It is not that you are doing something wrong. It is how manufacturers design their products.

Pesticide Service Gets to the Root of the Problem

A quality pesticide service uses a thoughtful approach that helps rid your home of current pest populations and addresses the reason pests are pestering you. Experienced pest control specialists know how to apply pesticides and toxins in a safe and responsible manner that keeps the pesticides where they need to be but also away from your children and pets.

Pests, like mice, fleas, and cockroach all have unique behaviors. By understanding those behaviors, experienced pest services can address long-term pest control needs. DIY pest products only work with current pest control issues, such as ants on your counter. If you want to control pest populations, you must look at the long-term solutions that not only kill off the ants on your counter but kills off the entire colony. No more colony, no more ants. The same is true for all pests.
