Methods Used in Pest Control

To achieve the highest level of effectiveness in the eradication of bugs and rodents, many different pest control methods must be utilized. Each method has its own purpose and advantages, but often the methods must be used in conjunction with one another. Though there are many ways to deal with a pest problem, these are the most common.

Pest Prevention

Prevention is arguably the most important aspect of a pest control plan. If wouldn’t benefit a homeowner to remove current pest populations unless the root cause of their entry is taken care of as well. Prevention is as simple as sealing cracks and entryways, removing potential food sources and taking away optimal conditions, such as moisture content.

Chemical Pest Control

Insecticides and rat poison are a common form of pest control that can be used by a pest control company or homeowner. Nearly any hardware or retail store will have at least some minor level of chemicals that are used for pest control. Using chemicals for pest control may have adverse effects if pets or children are in the home.

Bait & Trap

Perhaps the simplest form of pest control, baiting can sometimes be very effective. The use of items, such as glue traps or mouse traps can draw pests into certain danger. This method, though effective with small groups, can be a lengthy process that may not completely eradicate pest populations.
