No one wants to hire a pest control exterminator but then, most of us don’t like going to the dentist, either. It is a matter of evaluating the situation and realizing that it may only get worse if some type of action is not taken. There’s no need to panic if you merely see a spider in the corner but if there becomes an infestation of pests such as fleas, ticks, silverfish, cockroaches, ants, mice or other rodents, it’s time to take serious measures.
There are over the counter pesticides that may work in some cases but some problems are just far too large to handle. One colony of carpenter ants can consist of more than 30,000 ants, taking over your home in a matter of days and cockroaches multiply very quickly. Wasps and bees can also be considered pests, especially if one if dangerously allergic to their bites.
When it comes to residential pest control, a professional exterminator company knows what plan of action is needed and can use the right chemicals in the areas needed for your particular problem. There is no trial and error but a swift and precise schedule for your individual situation. Besides having access to powerful pesticides, many guarantee their work so the homeowner can breathe easier knowing that their pest problem is being managed.
You will need to schedule an evaluation of your home with a professional any many of these estimates are given for free. Getting more than one company’s recommendation is a good idea just to be able to compare costs, special protection plans, and flexible scheduling options and insurance and licensing requirements. Beware of a company that guarantees that your problem will be gone forever if you just hire them. There is no pesticide strong enough that can make this type of promise.
With everyone going ‘green’ in today’s society, the pesticide market of pesticides is working hard to create options for the homeowner. Some companies may have new products that contain borates, used for over 300 years as a safer alternative to chemical pesticides. This product is applied to existing wood and not the soil to kill termites and wood-eating insects by poisoning the microorganisms in the insect’s digestive tracts, starving them to death.
Orange oil products is another ‘green’ option that contains the active ingredient d-limonene for the treatment of termites by spraying directly into wall voids that kills these pests and their eggs. However, one drawback to this method is that the d-limonene based products biodegrade in a short time, requiring repeated applications. If you are thinking of using a ‘green’ treatment for wood, borates are recommended for lasting results.
Lastly, make out a list of questions of your concerns to ask your chosen pest control company when they come to your home. Their professional team is trained to discuss any type of concerns you may have to keep your home pest-free and your referral of a job well done could mean extra work from your friends and neighbors. No question is too insignificant to them. Your knowledge can only mean more business to them and you will have the knowledge needed for any future problems you may have to face.
