Type “Roaches in Home” into any search engine, and you’re immediately going to get a list of DIY solutions that may make you think you can fight the infestation on your own. If you’re dealing with roaches, though, the last thing you want to do is handle the infestation on your own. Instead, if you really want to get rid of roaches, your best bet is to reach out to a professional for the best roach pest control plan.
DIY Roach Pest Control and Its Drawbacks
A roach problem is huge, but there are lots of different ways to handle it at your local hardware store, right? So you head for the store, choose a fogger, a spray, and maybe even a few other options, then proceed to handle it on your own. Initially, you’re probably going to think you’ve succeeded. After all, the roaches are gone, right? Wrong. What you’re not seeing is the roach population that didn’t get hit by those sprays and foggers. They’ve pushed further into the walls or some other spot and have continued to breed. When it’s safe to return, they will, and there will be far more of them than you can ever imagine. What’s more, though, is that many of them will have developed a resistance to the product you initially used, and that means that when you finally see them again, the product will be completely useless.
Hiring a Professional
Cockroaches are a serious health hazard. An infestation is just too serious to leave it to DIY sprays. Instead, calling Slug-A-Bug is the right choice. One cockroach can produce 300 – 400 new cockroaches, and that could mean an infestation for months and years to come. A Slug-A-Bug pest control professional will not only help you end the roach infestation but also help you prevent any problems in the future.
On the whole, pest control is best left to the professionals, especially when it comes to roaches. To learn more about how we can help, contact us today.
