Whether you’re dealing with a colony of termites or a family of mice, pests can be annoying and cause property damage. They can chew your cables, ruin wooden floors and walls, and even bring diseases to your home. Although it can be tempting to solve an infestation on your own, here are a few reasons to work with pest control professionals.

Why You Should Hire a Pest Control Company

1. Have Proper Tools & Techniques

Each type of pest needs different treatment. Pest control companies have the appropriate tools and use proven techniques to safely remove the critters that infiltrate your property. For instance, professionals may use a sprayer loaded with specific chemicals to remove ants and roaches or an injector to route out termites in hard-to-reach areas of your home. They also know where to block off entry points, and how to set the right baits and traps to remove pests. When they use poisons as part of their treatment, professionals ensure that the people and pets are not harmed in the process.

2. Save Time & Money

Roaches and rats are hard to get rid of as they nest in parts of your home that you aren’t aware of or can’t always reach. Roaches often hide inside electronic devices, destroying the circuitry, while rats gnaw at cable wires and feed on stored food. Pests like termites are also resilient and can quickly reinfest your property after using DIY pest treatment. These critters feed on wood fiber and can cause significant and costly damage to wood components of your home, including support beams, furniture, and outdoor decking.

Aside from the financial loss pests cause, they also take up a lot of time to deal with—identifying the species, buying bait, and disposing of them. Without a professional to permanently eradicate them, removing pests on your own could be an ongoing battle.

3. Locate Infestation Sources

Cleaning your home and using insecticides and traps may help make the infestation manageable, but these do not address the root causes. Experts have the know-how to determine and remove the sources of infestation to get rid of the pests once and for all. For instance, pest control professionals will know how to identify and eradicate the queen of an ant or hornet colony, using specialized tools. With their removal, the colony slowly dies and the infestation goes away permanently.
