Are you troubled by the sight of pests in your home or business? Naturally, you would want to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, how do you plan to accomplish this, and what would it cost you? And wouldn’t it be great if you could prevent their return? That’s where professional pest control comes in. Don’t be fooled by the potentially dangerous DIY pest control fad on social media. Instead, hire a reputable pest control company and spare yourself the headache, backache and hassle of DIY approaches that usually fail.
Let’s discuss a few important details about why pest control is important. Then, you can make an educated decision on what you should do to reduce pests where you live or work.
Why Have Pest Control? Because it Has its Benefits
If you have yet to embrace pest control,
Your world is incomplete, your senses dull.
For without it, you’ve missed the sight,
Of beauty that surrounds us day and night.
It’s like a flavor you’ve never tasted,
Or a fragrance you’ve never before wasted.
A symphony of life that you’ve yet to hear,
A world of wonder that’s not yet near.
But once you’ve welcomed pest control’s embrace,
You’ll wonder how you ever lived without its grace.
For it’s a gift that keeps on giving,
A life-changing experience that’s worth reliving.
That’s what you’re missing when you don’t have pest control. Well… that might be a bit of an exaggeration with a dose of little hyperbole but you get the point. Once you’ve had pest control you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
There are a plethora of great benefits and several great reasons why you should have pest control. Let’s discuss the big ones and then you can decide for yourself.
Pests Change with the Weather
It’s important to note that pests change with the weather, but the variation in temperature alone doesn’t necessarily affect which pests you’ll encounter. In the spring, a variety of pests emerge, including spiders, ticks, mosquitos and termite swarmers. During the summer, spiders are abundant, along with wasps, bees, snakes, mosquitos, ticks, and several other pests. As fall approaches, you’ll likely notice more ants, rodents, spiders, Asian lady beetles, stink bugs, and other pests while many of the spring and summer pests disappear. In winter, many pests are either entering hibernation (or torpor), or have reached the end of their lifecycle, so you won’t see them again until spring. However, on warmer winter days, you may still see rodents, wasps, flies, ants, spiders, and a few other pests. Every season has its pests, and each pest has its season. (Spiders seem to be the only pest that’s active year-round!)
“Most people are unaware of the pests that they need to treat until they are already present. This makes DIY pest control ineffective in preventing them. This is one of the many reasons why professional pest control is valuable. Professionals have the knowledge to stop pests before they arrive, which is essential for effective pest control.”
You Need Peace of Mind
The main reason most people opt for pest control services is to have peace of mind. When you know someone is taking care of your property to ensure that there are no pests, it’s one less worry to deal with every day. It’s important to be able to leave for work every day and know that when you and your family come home, you’ll enter a healthy, pest-free environment. It’s also rewarding to avoid the mid-day calls or texts from a child fearing for their life due to the sight of a small spider. Both your family and pets are important and deserve to live in a pest-free environment inside their home. You don’t have the time, the skill, or the desire to be the “bug guy” or “bug lady”. That’s where we come in! You don’t have to DIY your pest control, and you shouldn’t have to. You’re busy, you have better things to do, and you don’t need another worry. Four Seasons can provide that peace of mind, and ensure that your home is pest-free.
Pest-Free Equals a Healthy Environment
Pests can be a source of mental stress, allergies, illness, and even death. Bed bugs can cause mental stress, while a bee sting can be fatal. To avoid such risks, it’s crucial to have a reliable pest management company that provides recurring pest services to reduce and eliminate these dangerous pests.
Rodents, bed bugs, cockroaches, wasps, bees, flies, mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas can pose serious threats. Stinging insects can cause allergic reactions that can be fatal. Bed bugs can cause mental stress, anxiety, and allergies when present in large numbers. Cockroaches can cause allergies, transmit diseases, and cause illnesses. Rodents can cause allergies, illnesses, diseases, and structure fires by chewing on electrical wiring within a building. Mosquitoes and ticks carry diseases that can be life-threatening. Flies can transmit diseases, cause illnesses, and be quite bothersome.
Everyone deserves to live in a pest-free environment, and Four Seasons Pest Solutions can make that happen for you and your family. You don’t have to live with pests!
Investment Protection from Pests
If you’re spending a significant amount of money per month on necessities like housing, utilities, and entertainment, the presence of just a few pests can quickly turn things sour. Wood-destroying insects like termites can cause severe structural damage that may cost thousands of dollars to repair and won’t be covered by your insurance. Rodents pose a threat of structure fires due to their habit of persistent chewing. Bed bugs can lead to significant furniture damages that can also cost thousands of dollars to fix. Flies and roaches can contaminate food and generate waste from the food you’ve paid for with your hard-earned money. We don’t work hard just to waste our money, right? Of course not! We want to spend our money wisely while preparing for the future. By protecting your investments and saving you from unnecessary repair and replacement expenses, pest control can help you achieve this goal.
I Guess I Need Pest Control Then?
Darn right, you do! So do I, and so does everyone else. The points we discussed earlier provide enough evidence to prove that pest control is affordable and should be a part of every household and commercial budget. This is why more than half of middle-class and wealthier homes have recurring pest control plans in place. You should have one too.
Pest Control Professionals are trained to understand when and where to apply pesticides, which pesticides work best for specific pests, and why to apply them. Additionally, pesticides aren’t always the answer. Exclusions, traps, monitoring devices, and several other methods may be more suitable for certain pests. When you hire a professional, you’re paying for knowledge, expertise, precision, safety, and much more. On the other hand, if you decide to do it yourself, you’re doing a job you aren’t trained for, know little to nothing about, and probably don’t want to do. Besides, there are some serious risks for the DIY’er when it comes to pest control. However, we can discuss that topic some other time.
Choosing the Right Pest Company is Important
When choosing a pest control company to perform your pest control services, it’s important to choose the right one. There are several factors to consider:
- Do they answer their phone? (Many companies have answering services. Look for one which doesn’t).
- Do their staff seem knowledgeable?
- Are they a small business? (Small firms typically offer better customer service and satisfaction)
- Are they reputable? Licensed? Insured? Bonded?
- Do they have good reviews?
- Do they have several reviews?
- How long have they been in business?
- Do they offer complete pest services or just some? (Ask if they cover ALL pests).
- What’s their response time?
- Can they offer references?
There’s nothing wrong with asking these questions. Knowing WHO you’re hiring is just as important as knowing WHAT you’re hiring them for. Ask questions NOW and you get no surprises later!
Once you’ve finally narrowed it down, Four Seasons Pest Solutions is going to be your company of choice (well, you didn’t think we were going to name someone else, did you?). We’ve been here a long time and will be here a lot longer. We’re dedicated to serving you and helping people live pest-free.
