Question By: People love to DIY, from home improvement projects to repairs. People are always looking for a way to save that extra dollar and handle the projects themselves.
However, when it comes to dealing with pests in your home, DIY pest control methods can cause more harm than good to you and your home.
When pests invade your home, it is natural to want to get rid of them as fast as possible. A DIY method can look like an easy and cheaper solution to the problem until it's not.
Here are top reasons why professional methods beat DIY ‘shortcuts' every time:
Risks to you and your loved ones
Mixing toxic pest control chemicals together is something you really don't want to do without professional experience and training. Sadly, every year thousands of children are hospitalised after accidental ingestion/inhalation of store-bought pesticides.
By going down a DIY route for pest control, you risk using harmful chemicals, poisons or traps around your home. This can put your children or pets at risk from serious harm, so it's best to leave it to the professionals like Flick to keep your home pest-free and your family safe.
Collateral damage
It's a lesser-known fact that a lot of store-bought pest control products pose harm to young children, small animals, and other non-target species.
Professional pest controllers know that rodenticides should only be used as a last resort when all other methods have failed. By using the least amount of pesticide or hiring pest control professionals who can use safer chemicals that act faster and break down quickly after application, you can prevent any collateral damage from occurring.
A waste of time and money
If you, like many homeowners, opt for DIY pest control methods thinking you'll save money, you'd be making a mistake!
Generally speaking, DIY methods mean you're wasting precious time and money because they simply can't offer the same level of service and effectiveness as a professional pest controller service would. This means that after using DIY pest control methods, there's a good chance your property will be overrun with pests again in no time and you'll have to hire a professional anyway.
Professional pest control specialists know how to find the pests that are invading, where they are coming from, how they got in and how to stop them. Plus, they are trained to find the reasons why the pests are there and offer methods of preventing further infestations.
