Pest control professionals sometimes seek unusual things online. My browsing history includes questions like “How much blood can a mosquito eat in one meal?” or “How many times do mosquito wings beat per second?” I found a DIY bug-repellent article with vinegar, active yeast, and detergent this week while doing online research. I love DIY home projects, and the aforementioned materials are innocuous, but they raised a wonderful topic. Should pest control be on your home to-do list? Not! Professionals should handle it. Some reasons:

•    What you buy in the store will not have the same active ingredients most pest control experts will use.  At 24/7 Local Pest Control, all we use are synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids.; Pyrethroids are used in numerous commercial products that consumers use to control insects such as household pest insecticides, pet shampoos and sprays, and even lice shampoos applied directly to the scalp, so while it is family-friendly you definitely won’t find the product at your home improvement store.

•    Even if you do track the product down, you won’t know how to apply it effectively.  24/7 Local Pest Control technicians have product application knowledge learned through their formal training; that the average consumer doesn’t, and they will use that knowledge to effectively treat your property with the proper amount of chemicals and the correct application techniques.

•    There are so many better things to do with your time!  While all of these rules pertain to all pest control, for this one we’re speaking about mosquito control in particular. When our trained technicians treat your property, they’ll have your yard treated in about 20-30 minutes, and after another 30 minutes of dry time, you’re back outside enjoying your yard. Trying to get rid of mosquitoes, fleas and ticks yourself could be a very time-consuming endeavour to try to do yourself. Let us handle the hard work, you handle the outside fun. Spend that time finishing your indoor chores so that when we’re done you’ll have no excuse to stay inside.
