Why Most People Shun Pest Control Companies


You've taken off early to meet the bugman at your house at 4:00 p.m. because you have a humongous hornet's nest under your deck in the backyard, and you have to unlock the backyard gate so he can treat and remove it--the last thing you want is for your kids to get stung. You've told him to not be late because you need to pick up your kids at the daycare center after you meet him. After dodging in and out of ungodly traffic, you arrive home, unlock the gate, then sit on the front porch to wait for your guy. 4:30 rolls around and he hasn't shown. You call him, but it goes to voicemail. Finally, you curse under your breath and take off to the daycare center to pick up your kids. And guess what, you're late too!

The aforementioned scenario is just one of the reasons more and more people are doing their own pest control. And why not? The same products exterminators use are available at http://www.youdoitpestcontrol.com/ . And it takes only about an hour per month to keep your home pest free. Complete instructions for treatment for numerous insect and rodent pests are on the website.

Other reasons why people are turning to do it yourself pest control are:



  1. Too many different technicians in their home.

  2. Don't trust that background checks have actually been done.

  3. Not effective.

  4. Unreliable.

  5. Too expensive (from $400.00 per year and up)

  6. Pest companies drive gas-powered vehicles to deliver service (wasteful).

  7. Unprofessional.

When one looks at the pros and cons of using a pest control service, it's easy to see why more and more people are electing to do their own pest control.
