Why hire a Pest Conrol Service? Can’t I save money and do it myself?

While no one knows your home better than you, without years of experience you’re bound to miss a crack or crevice that critters are creeping around in.

Because you don’t have the expert’s eye for the potential doorways for bugs and rodents to become a problem, it’s not surprising that you are likely only seeing an occasional roach or ‘a few ants’ in Summer after rain. You don’t want to wait for the uninvited invaders to become a full blown infestation. This is why pest control is important. If you’re seeing a few pests, there are more hiding and breeding out of sight in your home.

3 Reasons to make proper pest control a priority

1. Health and Hygiene
   Cockroaches and rodents cause health issues with potentially long-term effects.  Cockroach droppings and body parts can trigger asthma. Rodents carry diseases such as Hantavirus, Lassa Fever and more that pose a major health hazard. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said rodent infestations in and around homes is the primary method of diseases spreading to people.
   
   
2. Property Damage Prevention
   It is not uncommon for rodents such as rats and mice to enter residential areas seeking warmth and food. Rodents not only chew into your food supplies but also chew on furniture, cables and wires causing damage to your furniture, gnawing creates cracks and holes causing structural damage to buildings which becomes expensive to repair and creates openings for other pests.
   Likewise Termites and Ants create cracks and over time cause a great amount of damage to furniture and structural damage to buildings.
   
   
3. Control Prevents more expensive 
   Pest control should not be a last resort once an infestation occurs. Regular control will prevent a future infestation. Staying on top of the maintaining pest control on your premises will save you the need for a more expensive “damage control”.
