Green Flash Pest Control

Hey there Kelly. great question! Here at Green Flash Pest Control we use up to date products that have proven to control Bed Bugs when treating conventionally. conventional measures are best defined as search and destroy with products and mechanical control with vacuums and inspection. most of the products we use in general are water based and control bedbugs very well. however one of the only reasons why a waterbased product is considered is because it does not stain the upholstery. due to the difficult nature of bedbug control we no longer offer conventional measure to control. we offer heat treatments and fumigations only. we do this because these methods are proven to best take care of bedbugs. conventional measures are less effective because they rely on the human eye and experience. we believe in proper recommendations that best serve the client.

There are several advantages to signing up for year-round pest control services. Preventing a problem is always less of a hassle than solving one, but year-round preventive services can also save you money in the long-run, especially for destructive pests like termites.

While a number of supposed pest solutions can be found on store shelves, pest problems in homes are always best left to the professionals due to the unintended consequences that can come from misuse. Deviating from the warning label even slightly can lead to problems for people and pets, or could lead to sacrificed effectiveness. Improper use or improper mixing could inadvertently make the problem worse. Store-bought pest control also does not account for other hazards pests leave in homes, such as droppings and nest materials. Pest control companies train their technicians to specialize in using pest control methodically and creating customized pest control programs tailored to specifically what your home needs. A knowledgeable pest control technician can remove the entire pest problem from your home and clean up anything the pest left behind.
