Introduction:

When it comes to pest control, a lot of misinformation can circulate, leading to misconceptions that can cause more harm than good. As trusted experts in the field, we aim to debunk these common myths to help our clients more effectively and safely manage potential pest problems. 

Myth #1: Cheese is the best bait for mice

Many people have grown up with the notion that mice love cheese, thanks to countless cartoons. In reality, mice prefer foods that are high in sugar, such as fruits or grains. Using a sugar-rich bait can more effectively trap these unwanted rodent guests.

Myth #2: Pest control is not safe for pets and children

Many fear that pest control methods can be harmful to pets and children. However, a professional pest control company like ours prioritizes the safety of all family members. We use treatments that are safe yet effective, and we communicate all necessary precautions.

Myth #3: You don’t need pest control unless you see pests

Many pests are excellent at hiding and can live unnoticed in your home for long. Regular pest inspections ensure that infestations are caught early before they can cause significant damage.

Myth #4: Pests are only a problem in dirty homes

Pest infestations can occur in any space where pests have access to food and water, regardless of cleanliness. Even the cleanest homes can host pests if they can find a reliable food source.

Myth #5: DIY Pest Control is Just as Effective

While you can certainly take steps to minimize pest opportunities (like proper food storage and maintaining a clean home), diatomaceous earth or boric acid is often not enough to handle a full-blown infestation. Professional pest control provides a more thorough solution and is essential for handling larger invasions.
