Whenever you see a mouse, cockroach, bed bug, or another pest in your house, you want it gone and should be done quick but unfortunately, many DIY methods you\u2019ve read about online are ineffective, a waste of money, and even on top of that, seriously dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s talk about the problems with do-it-yourself pest control and how you can get pests out of your home quickly, safely, and cost effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are Thousands of Internet articles online that recommend a variety of DIY approaches to pest control; however, the vast majority of these DIY methods are completely ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, well-meaning people are trying to help others, but their information is flawed. When researching pest control online, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that if a DIY method seems too good to be true, it probably is. If someone is promising that a particular spray, essential oil, or kitchen ingredient will \u201csolve all your pest problems,\u201d it won\u2019t. Truly eliminating a pest infestation requires a multi-faceted approach that includes identifying the type of pest, locating its hideouts, eliminating all pests, and preventing them from returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among all of the inaccurate DIY articles on the Internet, there are a few that actually have a grain of truth to them. For example, boric acid will kill cockroaches. When cockroaches walk through boric acid, the powder clings to their body. Later, when the cockroaches groom their legs, the powder is ingested and poisons the cockroach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, you might be thinking, What\u2019s the problem? It works! But even when the DIY treatment is effective, it\u2019s easy for the average homeowner to misapply it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s continue with the boric acid example. First, boric acid is easy to apply incorrectly. (Unless it is applied in very, very thin layers, the cockroaches will just walk around it. Boric acid also becomes ineffective when wet.) Second, it\u2019s impossible to apply boric acid everywhere that cockroaches are. Cockroaches can hide just about anywhere in your home\u2014including in your walls. If you don\u2019t apply boric acid where the roaches are, they will continue to multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of the problems mentioned above, there is another big issue with DIY treatments for a specific pest: what if the pest you think is in your home is actually a different pest? Most people can identify a cockroach, but it\u2019s not as easy to identify a bed bug or tell the difference between a flying ant and a termite. A DIY treatment that\u2019s effective for one bug won\u2019t be effective for all bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We understand that everyone has a budget, and that pest control can seem like it\u2019s too expensive or not worth the money. However, for many homeowners, DIY can actually be more expensive in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on how long you\u2019ve been trying to do it yourself\u2014the infestation in your home could be much, much worse. As a result, you\u2019ll have to spend even more time getting rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of all points, here are few DIY treatments that can be so dangerous. Homeowners and their families have been seriously injured and even killed using dangerous DIY pest control methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even seemingly harmless pest control treatments can be dangerous: essential oils can be deadly to pets and harmful to humans if swallowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dangerous DIY treatments should either be avoided at all costs (like using rubbing alcohol) or used only under the supervision of a licensed, experienced professional (like using insecticides or foggers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s so important to do your research, always follow the directions for pest control treatments, and get help from a professional if you find yourself out of your depth. Don\u2019t let a pest problem drive you to risk the health and safety of you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your home has an actual infestation of mice, bed bugs, termites, cockroaches, or another stubborn pest, it\u2019s best to have expert help. A professional pest control expert has the experience and knowledge to assess the situation, come up with a treatment plan and follow through to make sure the pests don\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
