Yarmouth, Maine City Guide

Yarmouth

Due to the town of Yarmouth being a natural environmental place, its residents are faced with many pest infestation issues with pests. The town’s residents are encumbered with problems concerning pests such as bees, insects, rodents etc., mainly attracted by the forests, ponds and rivers the town boasts. The warm summers and cold winters drive the pests to seek shelter and food in homes.

Located in the northeastern region of North America, Maine is nicknamed ‘the pine tree state’ due to the city’s 176 million acres of forest land. The state also includes 6000 ponds and rivers and 3,500 miles worth of coastline. Yarmouth is a town located in Cumberland County and has a population of around 9,000 people. The town gets an average of 43 inches of rain, 68 inches of snowfall and 197 days of sunshine each year. The month of July sees the hottest days of the year with temperatures reaching 80 degrees and the month of January sees the coldest days of the year with temperatures dropping to 17 degrees. The climate and excessive forests, ponds and rivers play a prime role in the town’s pest problems of rodents and insects.

Once they invade homes, pests will secure their shelter by building nests and even breeding; making it difficult to get rid of them. Homeowners in Yarmouth first try DIY pest removal and prevention methods before moving to more drastic measures. Although DIY pest controlling methods are cheaper, they often prove to be ineffective and unsuccessful, while they may result in pest infestations being decreased or controlled for a short period of time. They do not solve the pest problem completely.

The most common DIY pest control tactics are traps, baits and poisons, but such methods only work on a small scale infestation, proving rather useless on a larger scale. However, by the time homeowners realize the DIY remedies are ineffective, the pests will have bred hundreds, maybe thousands, of offspring, making the infestation larger and out of control. If left untreated, an infestation of a medium to large size could cause a considerable amount of damage to the structure of the house and the health of its occupants. Other methods that are used for pest control are natural and essential oils and strong smelling sprays to prevent pests from entering a home. Again, such remedies are useless and only effective for pest prevention, and only when a home is creature free. ‘Starving’ is also a method used for ridding the home of pests and to prevent creatures from entering. Storing food in airtight containers and jars prevent rodents and insects being attracted to homes.

Although many homeowners try to resolve pest problems themselves with DIY techniques, they struggle to get rid of them completely. The most successful and effective way of ridding a home of pests is by hiring a licensed and professional company or freelance pest controller to do the job. Although professional help comes at a price, it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind and comfort. A reliable expert will aim to solve such a major issue with care and precision.
