Hello everybody!

Welcome back to our blog at Serv Pest Solutions. Today we're talking about a big question that bothers several homeowners - "When should you contact a professional for pest control?" 

Pest invasion at home can cause huge discomfort and anxiety. If you're spotting bugs, rodents, or any other unwanted critter, it's a clear sign that you might need professional pest control services. However, sometimes the signs aren't as obvious and you might be unsure about calling in professionals. Let’s discuss key indicators that signal it's time to call the pest control cavalry.

 Persistent Pests:

If you're seeing pests even after using DIY, over-the-counter products, it's time to bring in the professionals. Pests like roaches, rats, and ants are notorious for their relentlessness, and each one requires a specialized method of control. 

 Damage to Property:

Pests do more than just create an unpleasant sight. They can cause harm to your home and possessions. From gnawing rodents that can damage wires, potentially causing a fire, to wood-destroying pests like termites that can compromise the structural integrity of your home, a professional pest control service is a much-needed preventative measure.

 Rapid Breeding:

Certain pests reproduce at an alarming rate. One or two pests today can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation in just a few weeks. If you believe that the pests in your home are reproducing, it’s best to get expert help immediately. 

 If You're Buying or Selling a Home:

A pest inspection by a professional is highly recommended before buying or selling a house. This can avoid costly future repairs and provide the buyer peace of mind.

Allergic Reactions or Illness:

Many homeowners might not realize this, but pests can be a cause of allergies or sickness in the family. Cockroaches, for example, can trigger asthma attacks, while ticks and mosquitoes are known to transmit dangerous diseases. If your family has unexplained illnesses or allergies, it's best to rule out pest infestation. 

 Spotting Dead Pests:

Finding dead pests in your home is a pretty clear indicator of an infestation. For every pest you find, there could be hundreds more hidden away. Don’t let the problem escalate. Contact a professional pest control company right away. 

Remember, the goal of pest control is not just to deal with ongoing infestations, but also to prevent future invasions. A professional pest control service, like us at Serv Pest Solutions, will ensure your home remains a pest-free fortress. 

When it comes to pests, remember the three Ps: Prevention, Promptness, and Professionalism. These are your best defense against unwanted critters!
