While every pest is different, some common points of entry include open doors and windows as well as holes in walls, siding, or roofing. Certain pests can even enter through your drains or tunnel into your roof to get inside.

No. Modern pest control methods are carefully designed to be harmless for people and pets while working hard against the pests they target.

Whether you need to be present as a homeowner depends on the service you’re receiving. For general pest control and termite control, the homeowner generally does not have to be home. For specialty services like rodent removal, the homeowner will generally be needed to allow the technician inside to treat the problem.

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. It’s also important to remember that while certain pests have different active seasons, pests can be a problem at any time of year - so having a year-round protection plan in place gives you peace of mind that your home is secure.

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.

Yes. If you’re a homeowner, professional pest control is a necessity, both for preventing pest problems and removing active infestations. If you’re already suffering a pest infestation, it may be too late to deal with the problem on your own using DIY methods.

A licensed and certified pest control professional can also approach the problem with a wealth of knowledge about what pests you’re facing, where they’re commonly found, and signs of activity you might not be aware of - helping you get a better, more effective treatment and taking steps to stop the problem from reappearing. Professional pest control is an excellent investment to ensure the long-term comfort of your home.
