Termagon Termite & Pest Control Blog
Pests are among homeowners’ worst nightmares, however, not many people would want to call pest control specialists over a single mouse or cockroach. Still, there comes a time when a pest infestation gets so out of hand that hiring a group of experts is the only feasible option. But how do you know when it’s the right time to get help? Here are some signs that your infestation requires the services of pest control professionals.
If the Situation Puts You in Danger
First, if there is a pest infestation in your house that puts you in immediate danger, do not deal with yourself. Contact pest control as soon as possible. An example of this would be a beehive hanging on a tree in your backyard. Trying to remove a beehive without the right training or equipment could result in serious injuries.
Similarly, termites are a pest you should have exterminated at first sign. Even though they are not dangerous to your health, they can do major structural damage to a house in a short period of time, and if you’re trying to remove them yourself, there’s a good chance they’ll come back.
If the Infestation Continues to Return
That being said, any infestation that returns again and again should be dealt with by professionals, termites or otherwise. Often times, pests can be handled with DIY methods, but if they just keep coming back, it means you’re not getting to the root of the problem.
Pests like bed bugs, termites and rats are especially tenacious, and unless you wipe them all out at once, they’ll simply replenish their numbers. If you have a pest problem that just won’t go away, call pest control experts and have them exterminated for good.
If You Have Small Children/Pets
Finally, if you have small children or pets, you may want to consider having professionals handle your pest infestation. After all, most pesticides are extremely toxic when ingested by humans, and you should keep them as far as possible from the ones you love. In order to stay as safe as possible, it’s a good idea to hire people who know what chemicals to use, how much is needed and where it should be applied for the best effect.
Everytime you clean your house, close your windows and mow your lawn, you’re doing pest control. Pest control is something most of us do everyday whether we know it or not. However, when an infestation reaches a severity too great for any homeowner to deal with by themselves, pest control professionals are always available to give them a hand.
