What Pest Control IS Vs. What You Think It Is
When you call on the services of a
professional pest control service, you have an expectation of the service that
you will get. Caught in the midst of a pest “infestation” you are probably
hoping that within seconds of setting foot on your property, any pest that has
dared to invade your home will run off, tail between their legs and never
re-appear, the threat of extermination is so strong.
But it doesn’t happen. So, what does happen when our pest control
technicians show up at your door?
Treatment solutions varies
from one company to another
You may have had a different pest control
company last time who said they would treat the problem in such a way but when
we arrive, we say we are going to deal with it in another way.
There are many reasons why this happens. As
well as professional preference, pest control is a dynamic industry and one
that has to adapt quickly to the changes in
pest problems and behaviours. It is also an industry that is continually
developing new methods, techniques and treatments for dealing with pest
problems.
In other words, what was used the last time
to deal with a problem, may no longer be a suitable option.
Treatment options depending on the nature of the beast
Quite literally, not only will treatment
depend on which pest we are dealing with, it will also depend on the severity
of the pest problem.
For example, a bedbug infestation may take
several treatments, even though the infestation is considered ‘light’.
How we deal with wasps is different to how
we would deal with bees. How we rid a property of cockroaches is different to
how we deal with a flea infestation.
It is important to understand that no
matter what the pest is, or where it is, that professional pest control offers;
·
Humane solutions – no animal, bird or
mammal should suffer unnecessarily and so, every solution must be humane. Are
you confident you could deliver that? We are!
·
Safe options – from children to pets,
members of the public and your own safety, some pest control solutions will
differ depending on who use the area and so on.
·
Effective treatment – you want pest
control treatments and solutions to work. Some over-the-counter remedies spread
the problem, rather than dealing with it.
Treatment depends
on the severity of the problem
You may have spotted one brown rat in the
garage or cellar. But once on site, we may find that the problem is bigger than
you thought.
The nature and severity of the problem dictate the solution!
Sometimes, we need
to come back
We do our very best to rid you of your pest
problem – something people find distressing and uncomfortable – as soon as we
can. And this can mean coming back but this is not a sign of failure, rather a
signal of the pest we are dealing and possibly the severity of the problem too.
It can take time, as well as effective
treatment and methods, to be rid of a pest problem. And for some pests – and
customers too, especially commercial or business customers – pest control is an
ongoing task, rather than a one-off solution.
