DIY Pest Control Isn’t Safer Pest Control
If you have found evidence of pests or rodents in your home, you probably want to do whatever you can to get them out ASAP. We completely understand this as nobody desires unwanted company—especially the kind that doesn’t clean up after themselves. It’s common for homeowners in this situation to purchase pest removal products, chemicals, bleach, and more to take care of the problem.
The issue is that these products can be less useful but more dangerous for kids and animals. Many parents believe that buying more products will improve their children’s health, but this is untrue. Simply put, you’re filling your house with dangerous chemicals that take longer to dry and are less safe to handle.
The methods used by pest control experts have evolved over time. Pesticides were formerly overused to ensure complete coverage and pest removal. This old method caused many health risks to occupants. Professionals now use less harmful pesticides and safer techniques to lessen the risk of harm to you, your family, and your pets. Professionals like us will focus on places of the house that are difficult for the residents to access, like the crawlspace, basement, or attic. By using a professional pest control company, you may help shield your family from the harmful effects of pesticides.
Simple Fixes For A Pest-Free Home
- Avoid allowing sources of standing water on your property and in your home! Make sure to tightly cover all of your gardening tools, such as wheelbarrows, or turn them upside down if you don’t have an indoor place for them so they don’t gather water.
- To keep pests from easily entering your home, seal any and all gaps in windows and screens. Look for any cracks in your home’s structure and foundation as these can also provide easy access to pests looking for shelter. Anything bigger than ¼” should be addressed.
- Store food in the fridge or airtight containers.
- Understand that no matter how many precautions you take, you can still have a pest problem, especially during the hot summer months or cold winter months. Without assistance, dealing with a pest infestation will be difficult and probably futile. Rather than trying to handle the issue yourself, call a professional pest control company to save yourself time, money, and additional frustration.
