Experiencing a pest problem can be daunting. For many people, calling an exterminator is an unexpected expense, so that call is avoided as long as possible. While it is entirely possible to rid your home or business of pets on your own, the experience and knowledge of an exterminator can make the process a lot smoother. If you find yourself one of those people that put off the call, the following five statements give you an idea of when to pick up the phone.
You have been unsuccessful.
You’ve put out the traps, sprayed the repellent, and put away any food that might be attracting pests. Unfortunately, they keep coming. When you find yourself unable to stop the problem, you have a good indicator that it’s time to call in the professionals. Fortunately, what you will pay is often more than worth the work and results.
You fear pests.
When you’re afraid of mice and simultaneously trying to get rid of mice in your home, you may want to call an exterminator sooner rather than later. The same goes for spiders, ants, rats, squirrels, or any other pest in your home. Expect to see the pests face to face when you’re attempting to get rid of them – if the thought gives you chills, avoid taking care of the problem on your own.
There is a danger present.
Some pests can be dangerous. Wasps, for example, could seriously injure or kill someone with a few stings. Chemicals used to ward off pests can also be hazardous for your home, mainly when misapplied. When you suspect danger, leave the job to an exterminator.
Children or pets live in the home.
Chemicals and dangerous pests are worse when you have children or pets in your home. If your pest problem requires more than a few traps, it is likely too dangerous for the vulnerable people and animals that live in the house. A professional can determine the best course of action for your problem. For example, most exterminators wouldn’t use poison in a home with kids or pets, knowing that the pest could die in a reachable location.
There is an infestation.
Sometimes there are just too many pests to handle on your own. When you show signs of an infestation, including a large number of droppings, chewed holes in walls, spots of blood on your sheets, or something similar, calling an exterminator can save you a lot of trouble. An exterminator can put a stop to the infestation quickly and efficiently.
