Pests cause a lot of issues when they infest homes, primarily to home occupants’ health and the structural damage of properties. Pests such as rodents and termites can cause severe damage to the health of people with weak immune systems and cause thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to properties if they aren’t controlled and removed before they expand and become out of control.

Termites, although they can be beneficial for the environment as they break down dead leaves, plants and debris, they also do the same things to homes, usually after they have been renovated and in extreme cases, they can cause severe damage that cannot be repaired. They can easily chew through wood and dry wall, and they also have the capability of chewing through just about most materials. If they feed together in large groups, they could cause expensive and extreme damage to properties within a matter of weeks. Rodents also have the ability to get through just about any material as they have strong jaws and teeth, this could lead to them causing a lot of serious damage to properties in a short amount of time. This is why it is so important for them to be dealt with as soon as they are spotted because, if left untreated, the problem could escalate and become serious very quickly.

Homeowners try DIY methods of pest controlling to save money before they consult a specialist and professional. They use such methods as setting traps and bait, putting poison in areas where they are likely to be or have been seen and store all food in air tight, pest-proof containers and jars to prevent them from being contaminated. Although these methods have an effect on minor infestations, they are useless and unsuccessful with large ones as they aren’t strong enough or quick enough to prevent them from breeding and causing more damage.
