As you start to look into options for pest control protection you will find that there are a lot of products out there. The hardware store shelves are full of options for DIY pest control. Many of them promise to provide professional level results. Professional pest control also includes a long list of pest control product options along with a variety of application processes. Does DIY pest control or professional pest control provide the best protection? Both have the potential to eradicate pests from your home and provide ongoing protection. The best choice for your situation depends on your experience and commitment to the process.
DIY Pest Control
DIY pest control comes in a variety of forms. You can get sprays designed to kill pests on contact and foggers that will disperse pesticide throughout your house. There are bait systems that promise to trap pests for later removal and some that say they will kill off entire groups of pests by exposing them to poison. You can also purchase pesticides that are designed to be applied around the perimeter of your home and in areas that are prone to pest problems. Homeowners often look at all of the options and wonder which to choose. The reality is that any of the DIY pest control options can provide some level of effectiveness. However, the level of effectiveness that you get varies so widely that there is a lot of trial and error involved in making a DIY pest control decision.
Professional Pest Control
When you talk to a pest control professional you will find that they have a number of treatment options available for your pest problems. The pros use high potency chemical pesticides to treat active infestations and provide a protective barrier around your home. For some types of pests, such as termites and rodents, a pest pro may use a combination of poison, bait systems, and traps. The best solution is dependent upon the details of your situation. A pest control professional will look at those details and recommend a treatment plan that will address your current problem and protect your home from re-infestation. In addition, a pro will provide you with a recommended schedule for future treatments so that you do not experience any gaps in protection.
The best type of pest control protection will come from a treatment plan customized to your situation. If you know that you are having problems with roaches then your DIY or professional treatment options need to address your current problem. You can customize your pest protection with DIY options but it will take a lot of effort on your part to learn how to choose the appropriate treatment and apply it properly. If you choose to use a pest control pro you can leave the decision making and application up to someone who has the appropriate training and experience for the task.
