As a homeowner, you can take certain steps to keep pests away from your home. There are DIY methods that sometimes work: keeping food sealed tight in the pantry, using herbs to repel certain bugs, or placing traps. What about situations where pests are out of control? Homeowners have a certain set of tools that only work in some conditions, but professional pest control methods reign supreme. Here are situations where you would need the help of a pest control professional.
Rodent infestations
Rodents can cause structural damage to your home, apartment or office. Mice and rats will gnaw at books, paper, wood and more to build their nests. They will also chew on wiring and defecate inside your home. These are not pests you want living anywhere near your home or office.
Rodents can cause significant damage within a short amount of time, so it’s important to take care of the problem. Pest control professionals have a set of tools to handle rodent infestations. Many DIY rodent control methods involve the use of store-bought traps. These are not pleasant to dispose of, especially if the rodent is still alive. Pest control professionals can take care of this for you.
Cockroach control
Once cockroaches breed in your home, they are difficult to stop. Some DIY methods include setting out a deadly solution for the cockroaches to eat. These solutions later kill the cockroach. This doesn’t always work to solve the overall problem – since you have hundreds living in unseen places and they will not encounter the solution.
