Much has changed in the pest control industry over the past few decades. Wholesale spraying that kills both harmful and beneficial insects has been largely replaced by specific sprays and baits that control pests without a harmful effect on the environment. Natural pest control chemicals have been found which do the job more safely than artificial poisons. Selection and application of the proper pesticides is a job best left to experts. Any garden supply store will stock dozens of products to rid your home and yard of pests, but without specific training in their application, a homeowner can actually do more harm than good. If you decide to go with a professional pest control service, do your homework. Is the service licensed and certified? Are the inspectors and technicians fully trained? Can you get testimonials from previous clients? If the answer to all of these questions is yes, you can expect to have your pest problems taken care of with no reason for safety concerns.
