Pros and Cons of DIY Bed Bug Pest Control
If you own a home, or you lease one, bed bug pest control is sure to be one of your major considerations with this nationwide epidemic. Possibly even right after paying your bills and keeping your house clean. No one likes the thought of sharing a residence with insects and most importantly bed bugs. Therefore consider that there are a number of ways to rid your house of these pests. You may try to handle the job yourself, or you may hire a professional bed bug pest control company that uses heat treatment to kill them. Which is the best choice for you? Here are some pros and cons of DIY pest control, to help you make that important decision.
Pros:
Money savings, professtionals can be expensive. Of course, the most obvious reason to do anything yourself is that you can save money by not hiring a professtional pest control company to do the job. By purchasing pest control products at your local home improvement store and then applying them on your own, you can save a significant amount of money on your pest control, but are these really effective solutions? The choice is yours and you’ll have to live with the results. You get to choose your own products and methods, and don’t have to leave those decisions to whatever pest control company you would have selected. But most people have no idea how hard it is to eliminated bed bugs. It’s always comforting to know where pest spray was applied in your home, especially if you have children and pets. When you are the one doing the spraying and baiting, you know exactly what is where.
Cons:
You are not a licensed professional and bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to eliminate. To put it simply, do-it-yourselfers are generally not as successful at treating pest control problems, as are professional pest control companies. With the number one solution for killing bed bugs being “Thermal Heat Treatment” do you think you know how to handle that type of equipment. Face it: you simply don’t know as much about pest control as a licensed professional who has years of experience dealing with all types of insects and infestations. Application mistakes, that you consider little could be enough to endanger you and your family. And could even make pest infestations worse. Safety risks, many pest control products are actually very strong and dangerous poisons. Handling those poisons puts you at risk, and may even put your family at risk, if you aren’t absolutely sure of what you are doing, why take that risk? The spread of the problem is another possible outcome if you don’t kill them, as female bed bugs can lay 500 plus eggs in their lifetime. Did you know that it is possible to spread a localized infestation throughout the rest of the house? Not only is it possible, but it’s actually a fairly common occurrence for do-it-yourselfers who aren’t familiar with proper bed bug pest control protocol.
