Why do pests want to make my home their home too?
Common household pests, such as ants and cockroaches, along with
rodents need the same things humans need to survive. That is,
they need food, water and a place to live. Unfortunately, your
house provides them the same essentials that you need. If you
can eliminate their access to any of those essential elements,
it will help in controlling the pest. There are a number of steps
a homeowner can take to help keep their home pest-free. See the "Homeowner’s
Guide" section under Pest Prevention in our website for
more information.
How can you control pests inside my home if you only service the
outside?
Most pests live, eat and reproduce in the environment outside your
home. In their quest for survival, your home provides pests with
the same essentials that you need.
If pests are inside your home,
we will service the cracks, crevices and void areas inside of your
home, until the problem is completely
eliminated. After the interior problem is eliminated, our service
focuses on the outside of your home to prevent pests from getting
inside your home in the first place.
Why should I hire a professional
pest prevention service?
While "do it yourself" pest control is certainly an option
for homeowners, most lack the knowledge that professionals have
to treat pest problems effectively. Professional pest managers
are educated,
trained and certified to handle the specific urban pest issues
that you will encounter in and around your homes or offices. They
are
also trained in the safe handling and proper application of materials
used to control pests. The following are some general guidelines
for choosing a pest management company:
- Look for a reputable company
with knowledgeable and professional representatives.
- Ask friends
and associates to recommend companies they use or have used.
- Look
for memberships in industry associations such as the National
Pest Management Association (NPMA) that provide ethical guidelines
and technical information.
- Be certain the company is licensed
by your state’s regulatory
agency.
Why do I need to have my home inspected to determine the
cost of your service?
No two homes or two pest problems are exactly alike. Therefore,
Black Pest "customizes" our treatment program based on the specific
information found during the inspection process. Our professional
inspectors conduct a thorough inspection of your home and property
and provide you with a detailed report outlining their recommendations
and specific treatment program for your particular situation. They
will also point out areas that require your attention. And the inspection
is provided to you free of charge. |
