Pest control is one of the most common services that people need for house maintenance. Even if you have never had a problem with pests, it's always a good idea to be prepared for when they eventually do show up. This means making sure that you have the right kind of pest control in place at all times.
Pest control is a broad term. There are many different types of pests, and there are many different ways to control them. Pest control can be done by professionals or by homeowners themselves, depending on the type of infestation and personal preferences.
For example, a professional exterminator may use chemicals or physically remove insects from the home to protect it from unwanted visitors. Homeowners without access to these services often use traps like sticky flypapers or mouse glue boards in places where pests tend to gather (such as near food sources). Some people also use pesticides like borax which repel cockroaches when sprinkled around baseboards and cabinets.
The cost of pest control will vary depending on the size of your property and the type of pests you have. If you have a small home with only one or two rooms infested, for example, you might pay $150 for treatment. But if you have a large, multi-story home with an attic that's full of rats? It may cost quite a bit more.
Costs also depend on how often treatments need to be done—every month or every year—and whether they're done by professionals or someone else (like yourself). Finally, prices may increase depending on where you live; some areas are simply more expensive than others because they're closer to big cities that attract more pests.

As the customer, it's your responsibility to maintain the property. That means keeping it free of debris, which can attract pests. You should also keep your food properly sealed and stored to prevent attracting mice and cockroaches. Pest control companies will inspect your home before starting pest control so they know what areas need special attention. They'll set up traps and other equipment that help with pest elimination, such as glue boards for rats or ant bait stations for ants.
We will provide a service agreement that spells out how often they'll come back if you see more pests than usual after they leave (also known as "re-treats"). If you see any pests at all while the professionals are there, let them know immediately—they may have missed something on their initial inspection!
