These days, people are armed with knowledge about how to do many things on their own. Whether it's changing their car's oil, fixing the agitator in their washer, or putting in a new kitchen floor, YouTube and other DIY sites exist to help people in their quest to be weekend mechanics and carpenters. But, when it comes to eradicating your home or business of pests like termites, cockroaches, ants, spiders, and bigger, furrier creatures like mice and moles, hiring a pest control service is your best bet.
The main reason that pests enter your home or business is because they are looking for food or water. Pests need entry points to get, which can be difficult to locate on your own. A professional pest control service like Newtown Termite and Pest Control will be able to locate the openings and treat them properly.
Another aspect to remember about insects is that when you see one, there are likely many more hidden from view. If you kill one and another one shows up, or if you are seeing a few at a time, you may have a larger problem than you think. While it is easy to spray OTC insecticide around openings to your home and your garage, it is more difficult to get under the house where the insects are likely gaining entrance. A professional exterminator will have the equipment and know-how to do this without any difficulty.
Initial treatments are used to eradicate the specific bugs and pests at hand, while subsequent treatments are used as preventive measures. Although an experienced pest control technician can access entry points and treat them accordingly, determined insects will still manage to gain entrance over time. Seasonal and quarterly pest control services will help maintain your home or business as it should be. Cost is also a factor. Termites, and other pests, can cause unspeakable damage to a home, and the cost for repairs will far outweigh your regular or seasonal treatments. The change of seasons brings different pests, and regular quarterly treatments by a professional exterminator will stop them before they can find their way in to your space.
While it might be tempting to treat your home or business yourself, there are many aspects to pest control that prove otherwise. If you live in the Newtown / Bucks County area, you should keep these factors in mind:
