How Often Should I Get Pest Control Services for My Home?

Pest control services for your home can eradicate any type of infestation you have and help prevent future problems. If you are in a situation where you currently have a pest problem then you need to get services as soon as possible. You can get an immediate, one-time treatment to deal with your current problem and then set your home up on a schedule that will prevent a re-infestation. If you do not currently have an infestation but want to proactively protect your home there are a number of options to choose from. These include monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly services depending on the level of protection your home needs. You and your pest control professional will work together to determine the appropriate timing needed to keep your home pest free.

If you have a current infestation

If you have a current infestation the time to get pest control treatment is now. When you spot one roach or one rodent in your home it is extremely likely that you have a bigger infestation on your hands. These pests prefer to stay out of sight so spotting one points to the presence of others. You can start by scheduling an initial inspection and estimate for your home. A pest control professional will come out and examine your property for signs of an infestation. They will look for excrement, pest carcasses, the pests themselves, and evidence of damage to your property that points to certain pests. These clues will help the pro determine what type of infestation you have and its severity. This information allows them to make the proper recommendation about what type of treatment your home needs. Treatment options can range from spraying insecticide on the interior and exterior of your home all the way to tenting your home and applying structural fumigation. After your current infestation is eradicated with the initial treatment you can continue to protect your home with regularly scheduled treatments on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly basis as needed.

If you want to proactively protect your home

If you do not currently have a pest problem and want to keep it that way you can set up preventative pest control services. Preventative pest control services are designed to keep a barrier of protection around your home so pests cannot gain access. In addition, when you get regularly scheduled pest control services you get the benefit of having a professional look at your home each time you have it sprayed. The trained eyes of a pest professional will be able to spot potential problem areas around your home that can lead to pest issues. For example, water problems around your home can increase the likelihood that you have problems with termites, roaches, rodents, and mosquitoes. Pest control professionals understand this and will point out anything that looks problematic so you can take preventative action.
