HAZARDS OF DIY PEST CONTROL

In addition to the misapplication or overuse of chemicals and products, sometimes homeowners proceed with unconventional treatments and use equipment not up to the task.

The truth is that DIY pest control rarely works and is potentially harmful to you, your family, your pets, and the environment. It’s always best to hire a professional exterminator to come and take care of your pest infestation with ease and efficiency.

1. YOU LIKELY WON’T SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Many of the retail sprays, poisons, and traps you can get at the store merely put a temporary bandage on a larger pest control problem.

2. YOU’RE DEALING WITH HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS

If you aren’t setting traps (and then having to deal with the results yourself), you’re most likely spraying strong and hazardous chemicals around that will only temporarily get rid of pests in and around your home. This isn’t always safe for your family.

3. DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS

When you are not sure how to use a product or handle insect extermination properly, you expose yourself to the risk of an accident or getting hurt.

It isn’t just the product you have to beware of, though. It’s the pests themselves, sometimes.

4. RISK OF USING THE WRONG PRODUCT

If this is your first experience with an infestation, you may find yourself standing in a store aisle staring at shelves of different products, all claiming to do the same thing. You read the boxes and hold two products in your hands, comparing them.

Unfortunately, since you do not have the expertise and training of a professional exterminator, you aren’t sure what is truly the best product. You’re at the hands of a product’s advertising right now!

5. LEAVING THE ROOT PROBLEM UNTREATED

The issue with using DIY pest control is the root of the problem is often left untreated. These products and methods will likely only take care of the pest problems you can see. Lingering issues can still be lurking in your walls, attic, or underneath your house.

6. SPENDING MORE TIME AND MONEY

One of the most common reasons people don’t want to call a professional exterminator is because they are afraid to spend a lot of money. But what if we told you that DIY pest control could actually cost you more in the long run?

7. POTENTIAL HARM TO FAMILY, PETS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT
