Dear reader,
You are not asking for too much when expecting a pest-free environment to live in or work in. It’s no secret that many people resort to DIY pest control methods as a quick and effective solution for eliminating pests. But, while the idea is feasible and appealing, there are many hidden dangers associated with it that can lead to unwanted issues down the line. In this edition of the newsletter, we will be delving into the hidden dangers of DIY pest control and when it is the right time to call in the professionals.
1. Ineffective solutions.
Lacking expertise and precision, DIY pest control often fails to effectively tackle infestations. The store-bought pesticides and chemicals may provide temporary relief, but they cannot address the root cause of the infestation. This causes the return of pests and an abrupt upsurge in their number.
2. Health hazards.
Store-bought and homemade pesticides contain many harmful chemicals. These chemicals pose serious health risks to humans and pets. Improper usage of these substances and exposure to the toxins can result in issues such as respiratory problems, skin irritations, and other long-term health issues.
3. Property damage.
While causing health issues for the inhabitants, inappropriate and careless usage of pesticides can damage your property as well. Lingering stains, odours, deformation due to overuse of pesticides, and structural damages due to improper placement of traps and chemicals are some of the costly damages that are caused by DIY pest control.
4. Reversed effect.
Pests are strong and highly adaptable to their surroundings. This is to survive threats and thrive in harsh living conditions. When they constantly get exposed to such situations, including DIY pest control, they develop resistance and make it difficult to eradicate them without seeking professional help. By this time, the infestation and the damages caused by it will have spread.
When should I call in professionals?
1. Constant infestations.
If your DIY experiments to eliminate pests have been ineffective even after multiple attempts, now is the most apt time to call professionals to deal with the pest once and for all. They have enough experience and expertise to implement proper pest control and tackle any kind of emergency.
