DIY Pest Control?Not Here!

The TemptationIf you’ve ever dealt with a pest infestation of any kind, you know what a frustration it can be. Almost equally as frustrating for many, though, is the need to call a pest control professional. Thanks to the time & expense involved, more than ever people are grabbing a can off the shelf at the home improvement store. Wondering whether you should go DIY or professional? This quick guide may help you make up your mind.

The Wrong ToolOne serious drawback for many when it comes to DIY pest control is the fact the spray you choose from those store shelves most likely not work as well as it says it will. It may suggest it can handle ants and roaches alike, but the reality is that it might not work well for either of them.

The Devil You Know

Do you even know what kind of pest you’re dealing with? Just because you think it’s carpenter ants versus termites doesn’t mean you’re right. Only trained pest control professionals really knows what type of problem you have on your hands.

A Deeper Problem

DIY methods often only address the pests you see as opposed to the massive infestation you have on your hands. Unfortunately, if you’re only killing the ants, roaches, mice, or any other pests that you see, you likely have lots of other problems you haven’t even considered yet.

It’s Poison

All DIY pest products contain some level of dangerous chemicals, and if you’re spraying it around young or old family members or pets, you could have some real problems on your hands. The pest control professionals at Young Environmental understand how to apply as little pesticide as possible so that is effective without creating a health risk to your family.

Property DamageYou may not realize it, but the DIY solution you’ve chosen could actually damage your property, and that could create problems further down the line. Pest control professionals are bonded and insured, which means you don’t have to worry whether someone else will pick up the tab for any damage caused by the remedy.

Ongoing HelpIf your DIY pest control remedy doesn’t work for you the first time, what do you do next? If you choose the pest control professionals from Young Environmental Solutions instead, you can bet that any leftover problems you happen to have will be covered immediately.
