3 Most Common <strong>Pest</strong> Management Mistakes<br />
Purchasing over the counter sprays & self- treating. Many grocery store products simply do not provide<br />
lasting benefits & ultimately cause more trouble than they are worth. If you currently have a pest handle<br />
provider many times the spray you purchase is a contact repellant that kills the pests you see but has no<br />
lasting residual & actually contaminates the pr<strong>of</strong>essional products in place. Using repellant sprays cause<br />
a phenomenon called "budding" with many species <strong>of</strong> ants. <strong>The</strong> workers are killed & do not return to<br />
the colony. <strong>The</strong> colony will then create more queens & they will "bud" creating more colonies! Roaches<br />
infestations may temporarily reduce but the larvae will soon hatch. Sprays for Bed Bug infestations end<br />
up spreading the infestation as they will avoid the sprayed areas for a short time. Our suggestion would<br />
be if you have an occasional invading pest spritz it with window cleaning spray-same result less<br />
expensive & definitely less toxic! On-going pest problems need pr<strong>of</strong>essional treatment.<br />
Starting a pest regulate service while you see pests & stopping when you don't see pest. <strong>The</strong> pest you<br />
don't see are not necessarily gone - they are under regulate. <strong>Pest</strong> will remain in the environment & will<br />
always be looking for meals, water & harborage. <strong>The</strong> pest manage provider's goal is to control them in<br />
your environment. Stopping service because you don't see pest will lead to pest populations getting out<br />
<strong>of</strong> control again. Consistent & regular pest control service will break that cycle.<br />
Not knowing & understanding the <strong>Pest</strong> Handle provider's treatment plan. Make sure you know &<br />
understand what your provider is doing for your service. Ask questions, check licenses, ask what they<br />
are treating your property with & why. Your <strong>Pest</strong> Command provider should be able to provide answers<br />
& suggestions for your pest manage needs. "Green" products are regularly used in the industry today to<br />
reduce environmental impact. Find out what products will work for your home. If your <strong>Pest</strong> command<br />
provider seems to be just looking around your property find out why-better technicians will ALWAYS<br />
inspect before ever applying product. Learn more about IPM practices from your provider. If they don't<br />
provide information & treatment plans incorporating IPM Practices & "Green" products call a company<br />
that can!
