If you have a current pest infestation that will dictate what type of pest control services your home needs. An active infestation requires treatment aimed at eradication as opposed to treatment designed for prevention. Preventative termite treatment typically involves spraying a barrier of insecticide around the outside perimeter of your home. This barrier deters pests from passing over it and into your house. For an active infestation you need treatment that is applied inside your home at the source of the infestation. The pest pro will apply treatment in areas where pests are most likely to infest to ensure that the pests come in contact with the insecticide.
Your past experience with pests can determine what type of pest control services your home needs. If your home once had a termite infestation then termite prevention should be part of your plan. General pest control usually includes protection against pests like cockroaches, spiders, and crawling insects. Other pests like rodents, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes may only be treated as part of a customized treatment program. If there is a particular type of pest that has caused you problems in the past then seek out pest control services that will help prevent that pest from being an issue in the future.
