Exterminate Disgusting Insects & Other Pests In Your Home For Good

By Mark Matherson


Depending on the type of pest problem you have will depend on what method is used to get rid of the problem. First of all, all pesticides being used by the exterminator must be registered by the Environmental Protection Agency. This agency is responsible for testing and registering all pesticides. By law, the Environmental Protection Agency is not allowed to register any pesticide unless it can be utilized according to its label and label instructions without harming the user, people, domestic animals, pets or their environments. There are some exterminators who use natural or organic pesticides. Organic pesticides refer to those that contain carbon. Natural pesticides indicates the pesticide contains some materials that are natural. Organic-based pesticides indicate the product contains some organic materials.

One of the most common types of pest control problems in the home is ants. Ants can cause more damage to homes than termites can. There are several species of ants that may cause infestation and damage to homes. Many types of ants preferred damp decaying wood which they utilize to make their nests. Some companies will use a type of injector to find, flush out and kill the colony of ants.

This injector is completely safe to humans. Another type of problem are cockroaches. Cockroaches adapt well to living where other people live. The German cockroach is the most common type of cockroach that hides during the day and eats on a wide range of foods at night. They are mostly located in kitchens but can also be located in bathrooms and other places that people eat and drink. Cockroaches are one of them most difficult pests to control. This is because they grow when the temperatures get warmer.

For example, at 70 a cockroach egg will hatch in 34 days but at 80 it will only take 17 days. An exterminator will apply gel or baits alongside cracks and crevices where the cockroaches live. Some companies will take it a step further and apply an insect growth regulator which does not kill the roach but will either make it so the roach cannot reproduce or will make it so that it blocks the ability for a no-nadult to turn into an adult. Mice and rats are another big pest control problem. Some methods for removing mice and rats include baits and blocking off the entryways.

So your next question is probably how you find an exterminator? There are several methods that you can use to find a good pest control company. You can obtain recommendations from friends, family, coworkers or neighbors. Inquiry with them if they have used a pest control company in the past and who they used. You also want to find out what their opinion was of the service they received. Ask what type of method was used for their particular pest problem.
