Why Pest Control Maintenance Is Necessary

Just like changing the oil in your car, pest control maintenance is a necessary part of homeownership. Without it, pests can cause damage that leads to expensive repairs and even property loss.

What is the most common method of pest control?

In addition to preventing damage, a quality pest removal company control program can also protect people and pets from diseases carried by pests. For example, rodents can spread diseases such as hantavirus, rat bite fever, and salmonella through their feces and urine. Pests can also spread plant diseases such as blight, rust and leaf spot that can ruin crops. Pest control maintenance is a great way to keep invasive pests such as the spotted lanternfly and emerald ash borer from infesting your property.

Some pests are difficult to avoid completely, such as cockroaches, ants and termites. But, simple hygiene rules, food storage and waste management can reduce the risk of pest infestations. Other pests are much easier to prevent. For example, a yearly plan of pest control treatments can prevent the emergence of invasive plant species such as the spotted lanternfly and the emerald ash borer.

Pest control maintenance is the practice of routine inspections and targeted applications of pest-repelling materials to eliminate existing infestations and prevent new ones from developing. Pesticides are used only when non-chemical methods have been unsuccessful or would be harmful to the environment or human health. The strategy a professional chooses will depend on the pest and its impact on the property. A pest control specialist should focus on prevention – keeping the problem from occurring, suppression – reducing pest numbers to an acceptable level and eradication – destroying an entire pest population.
