Updated Pest Control Techniques

For as long as there have been houses, there have been insect and rodent intruders. Creeping, clawing or squeezing indoors means having access to food sources, nesting materials and a cozy place to settle down. No one wants to share their space with critters and that is what makes the pest control industry worth millions and millions of dollars.

Every hardware or department store has a section or aisle dedicated to pest management but the majority of these products don’t get great results. Traditional pest control methods are clunky, ineffective and can take forever. Before you waste time and money on basic practices, it is important to consider exactly what you are dealing with:

Physical Traps: These traps come in many forms depending on what type of pest you are trying to treat. Roach motels are fully enclosed and normally house a type of poison. The most common type of physical traps are snap traps or cages designed for rodents. The trouble with these is that they are unpredictable. Snaps traps can catch tails or legs causing injury but not death. Even if these traps are effective, there is an unsightly mess left behind.

Poisons: Heavy-duty poisons have been used for decades but just because they are common does not mean they they are safe. Laying down poisons throughout households or businesses is dangerous to everyone, but children and pets are most at risk.

Deterrents: Just like people, pests have certain things that they just don’t like. Coating areas in aluminum foil to keep mice away or spraying scents might keep a couple rodents away but when dealing with large numbers, these methods are too little, too late.
