Implementing a preventative pest control plan in your Kittitas County home is critical as it's easier to prevent pests than to deal with an active, rapidly growing infestation in your home. With the fluctuating weather and changing seasons in Washington State, year-round professional pest control is an intelligent way to avoid seasonal-based pests throughout the year. While rodents, spiders, and cockroaches are great examples of pests who invade homes year-round, other bugs will look to invade your home in the winter or summer months.
The Many Pests That Like To Invade Kittitas' Homes
Washington State is home to many types of pests that can be destructive and dangerous to your health. Some of these pests include:
- Ants
- Bed Bugs
- Cockroaches
- Mosquitoes
- Rodents
- Stinging insects
- Ticks
- Termites
One of the most common times pests invade your home is during the changing seasons. The earlier you begin pest control, the better you can ensure your home is pest-free. Pests invade your Kittitas home for shelter, water, or food that they are currently not finding in their environments.
Pests can invade even the cleanest of homes, so it's essential to know the right approach and treatment to keep pests out for good. These pests have different behaviors and habits that can cause a nuisance in your home, so it's always the best decision to leave the pest control efforts to the professionals.
Pest Infestations Can Be Dangerous And Cause Damage
Regardless of the type of pest, they all create dangerous situations and can wreak havoc in your Kittitas County home. In addition to posing severe concerns to the house, some pests carry diseases and may bite, pinch or secrete waste throughout your home. Some diseases and pests can include:
- Salmonellosis (rodents and cockroaches)
- Dysentery (cockroaches)
- Hantavirus (rodents)
- Rat-bite fever (rodents)
- Lyme disease (ticks)
- Murine typhus (fleas)
The most significant benefit of having a year-long pest control preventative service is you can guarantee that your home is pest-free. How would it feel to never think about pests again? The treatments are very effective, and customers experience sanitary living, with no more spider webs, ants, or sweeping up dead bug carcasses.
The Hassles With Do-It-Yourself Pest Control
When dealing with pests that can cause harm to our sanity, health, and safety, it's the most intelligent decision to leave it up to the professionals. The drawbacks of DIY pest control include:
- Knowledge: A professional pest expert can use their experience and expertise to determine where, when, and how to treat the existing problem. Different pests require different treatment methods, and effective pest control starts with identifying the pest and understanding its life cycle and habits.
- Expense: We often assume that doing everything ourselves will save money; however, even though the initial investment may seem more costly with a professional, it'll be less expensive in the long term. When a DIY solution doesn't work, you'll have to buy supplies that cost more, the pests can damage your home in the meantime, and many people end up having to hire a professional in the end.
- Risk: Experienced pest control professionals must maintain up-to-date training and licenses due to pesticide risks. If you apply a chemical you are not knowledgeable about, you can put humans, plants, and pets in potential harm.
The best choice is to avoid wasting your time and money on DIY pest control efforts and invest in a year-long pest control preventative program.
