Every homeowner has something in common – they will each be faced with the risks of common household pests, such as termites, bees, wasps, rats, mice and ants. By taking the time to target the infestation, you can carefully plan out a technique to control and eliminate the pests that might otherwise cause structural damage to the property or irritate allergy sufferers. Pest control specialists might charge $100-$800 depending on the severity of the infestation, which is why it’s worth browsing pest control products to make the extermination process that little bit easier. Prevent pests from reproducing and spreading disease with the following pest control product buying tips.
Consider the Size of the Infestation
Before you start using pesticides, traps or baits to lure in critters and rodents that are causing a problem in the home, you should hire someone who can properly assess the size and severity of the infestation. If the infestation is out of control, you might need to set traps that capture multiple rodents if mice and rats are the problem, arrange for fumigation and drywood treatment injection for the extermination of termite colonies, etc. A mixture of substances may be used if the infestation is fairly big, so bear this in mind if you are not having much success with a single product.
Biological, Chemical or Organic?
Choosing between biological, chemical or organic pest control products will depend on a number of things, such as your personal preferences and once again, the severity of the infestation. Biological pesticides are commonly used by farmers who want to prevent crops from being affected by fungus, bacteria or viruses. In order to kill pests immediately, chemical pesticides should be used, because they are toxic and will put an end to big infestations. Organic products are made with botanical plant-derived ingredients and will be kind to the environment. Fermentation pest control products are also considered organic and will not contain synthetic chemicals.
The Pesticide Regulations
All pesticides sold and used by pest control specialists will comply with pesticide regulations. When looking for products or assistance from an expert in the field of pest control, find out if the services and products are registered by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, also known as the APVMA. If they are, you can feel confident that the method used to manage an infestation is safe and reliable.
