If you need help with commercial pest control in your home or garden, you might be thinking of calling on professional pest control companies. Unfortunately, hiring a pest control company can be expensive and often doesn’t solve your pest problem. By using some knowledge about pest control and making some changes in your lifestyle you can use DIY pest control methods to get rid of pesky pests and keep them away for good. DIY pest control solutions may not contain the strict measures required to keep future infestations out of your home or garden, and can often only address current pest issues. This means that if pest issues don’t quickly go away and they get worse you’ll need to call on professional pest control companies again to get rid of the problem once and for all.
The best pest control methods will take into account factors such as environment, food supply, and personal lifestyle when attempting to solve pest issues. For example, in homes that have food readily available, pest control companies will often use an insect growth regulator (IGR), which works by creating a barrier to stop pests from developing. This is a very good method, as it is completely safe and will not affect your health in any way (and it is also highly effective).
Alternatively, pest control companies may choose to use a topical treatment solution, whether chemical or organic, which is designed to kill termites on contact. It is commonly thought that applying chemicals directly to the pests themselves is preferable to using a termite treatment plan; however, this is not always true. While chemicals are definitely effective, they can also be harsh and have a number of side effects that you should be aware of before using them. Organic pest control solutions may be less harsh but they also lack the side effects and other harmful components that chemical-based products possess. If you are looking to use a natural solution to solve your termite problem, then it may be the best way to go.
