Battling with pests can be a tough job especially if you are the type of person that has little to no knowledge about pests. Though home pest control methods are available from stores the fact that they could be lurking inside, around or beneath your house is a scary thought indeed.
That’s why it’s very important to know what your problems are before buying any pest control product or service. Our homes, surroundings and living habits are in itself reasons why pests thrive, so getting to know these creepy crawlies a little bit more can save us good money by not making wrong pest control decisions.
About Cockroaches: They stay hidden in dark crevices, double walls, under sinks and damp cabinets. By night time they venture out to get food which can be anything from plain water, speck of vegetable or oil or grease or juicy leftover foods on your table. They have this distinct stinky smell so even if you don't see them does not mean you don't have them
About Rodents: Like cockroaches, they are also nocturnal, but if you see them at daytime- it is an indication you have a rather high infestation level. So make sure you tell such information to the pest control company you will consult. Professional rodent management takes time. It usually includes a combination of methods such as baiting and trapping and then there's the collection and dead or caught rat disposal so please do not expect rodent control will be a one-day affair.
About Termites: The most destructive termites usually come from the soil underneath or surrounding your home, so before buying any do-it-yourself anay or termite control product, make a meticulous inspection of your house. Aside from those obvious mud tunnels on your walls, check also for warping wood panels, ceilings, baseboards, etc. Termites forage randomly and simply spraying parts of the house will normally just temporarily repel them until they have found other entry points. For termite management, professional service providers are always the better longer-term solution.
So before calling a pest control professional, also check your house and list your observations. This information will be very helpful in deciding later with your pest control provider what pest eradication methods will be most appropriate.
So, whenever you have that suspicion of pests, simply cast all your worries away, and let the professional pest control provider perform their expert inspection and analysis of your home's pest conditions. Professional pest control companies are educated and trained to go after those pesky pests, so get them to help you.
