Let’s break it down - are DIY pest control methods really worth it?


The possibilities on Google are endless however, some things are best left to the professionals. There are lifestyle changes you can make which typically work in conjunction with pest control services.


Insect Control:


Sprays and traps from the hardware store work on contact and are a good temporary solution for transient insects. What these products don’t do is get to the root of the issue. Our industrial strength insecticide works on contact and continues to work as the insects track it back to the colony or nest.


Rodent Control:


Rodents will live just about anywhere. Noise devices, traps and bait from the hardware store are a temporary, hit-or-miss solution that fails to get to the root of the issue. In conjunction with lifestyle changes, our rodent control services are quick, effective and eliminate the issue at the source.



As with any form of pest management, lifestyle changes play a big part. Clean up spills right away, secure food and pet food in plastic containers, store garbage properly, tidy up clutter, seal holes, move bird feeders away from your home and monitor for new or worsened damage around your home and property.
