WHY DO WE CONDUCT RESIDENTIAL PEST CONTROL?
Controlling these pests helps protect us from the damage they inflict. This damage includes, but is not limited to, contaminating our food, spreading disease, threatening our health and injuring our property. By defining this damage, support for pest control is firmly validated.
Disease can be spread rapidly if proper pest control is not done. Bugs and insects can transfer strands of flu and viruses to animals, people and food. Our government tries to manage and prevent this from happening by placing strict guidelines on what is allowed to be brought into our country. This is a form of pest control. People need to take such measures at home as well.
Applications of chemicals to yards and perimeters of homes will limit the number of pests that can impact our health, as well as the health of our house pets.
Taking measures to control pests that cause damage to our property is equally important. Spraying chemicals to manage insects that eat wood, burrow holes in our homes, build nests in our trees and chew holes in our landscape helps secure the survival of that property. The cost of pest control is very insignificant to the cost of repairing or replacing things that have incurred destruction from pests. For instance, consider the cost of new plant material for a yard. People who choose not to apply any pest control are running the risk of losing these plants to leaf eating insects. If this happens, they would incur the cost of new plant material, possibly replacing soil and the labor costs for the installation. By managing pests at the beginning this project, they would only have had their initial investment.
WHEN DO WE CARRY OUT RESIDENTIAL PEST CONTROL SERVICE?
Structural pest control decisions are sometimes based more on emotion than economy. After all, fear of arthropods (insects, spiders and their kin) is our third most common fear (behind public speaking and heights), and spiders are the second most feared animal (behind snakes).
While fear, often unfounded, can sometimes be the stimulus for initiating pest control services, some pests do pose a very real threat to humans. Health concerns associated with structural pests include venomous stings and bites in addition to the transmission of diseases including food poisoning, allergies and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Pests also can have a psychological impact on us, for example, from the unsettling feeling of knowing (or suspecting) you are living with insects, spiders, rats or mice. All the above enable most people to make a decision on when to do pest control services.
Our effective and affordable pest control extermination services provide protection from all of the following household insects and pests: ants, spiders, earwigs, fleas, flies, silverfish, bed bugs, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, cockroaches, silverfish, rats, mice, and more.
