Insects, spiders and rodents are classified as pests for a reason. A Pest Infestation can cause significant damage to your home, its contents and your own health. If you see ants crawling around the kitchen or a spider running across the floor, the majority of people think a simple can of bug spray is the easiest and best solution. This simply isn’t the case, it’s important to properly identify the pest and locate the cause of the issue for proper treatment to commence. If you’re not yet convinced, read our top 5 reasons you need to hire pest control services in 2019.

1.Health Reasons

You might be thinking, ‘I thought Pesticides were harmful’ or “there are various risks associated with pesticides”. However this isn’t accurate. A licensed Hitman pest control specialist is trained to handle, store and apply toxic substances safely and effectively. They take the necessary and appropriate precautions to minimise and mitigate the risk of exposure to pesticides in your home. This means the risk to your health is significantly reduced, and it’s actually more beneficial to you and your home in the long run. Various pests can carry lots of germs and disease that can significantly affect you. A Hitman specialist will guide you through the necessary safety measures that must be addressed during and after treatment.

2.Protection Of Property

Hiring a professional pest control company doesn’t just help keep you healthy, it also protects the condition of your home. Lots of pests and rodents such as silverfish and rats can cause significant damage to your home. These pests can destroy not only your carpets and clothes, but your floors, furniture, rugs and walls. This damage to your home can prove costly depending on the extent of the damage. Proper treatment will save you time and money in repairing damage caused to your home by these pest infestations. 

3. Termite Check – Protection of Assets

Termites are nasty creatures that can cause significant damage to your home in a very short amount of time. Although paying for yearly inspections may seem costly and not worth it, it’s an investment that will save you money in the long run. Termites can go unnoticed in your home for some time before they work their way out of the internal structure and create visible damage. At this point the cost to repair the damage has skyrocketed. Most people don’t know the signs or how to properly inspect for termites. That’s where a professional pest control company who has the knowledge, training and experience comes into play. They’ll identify the type of termite affecting your home and the best treatment for them in a way that is guaranteed to achieve results. It’s important to have your home inspected for termites at least once a year to find if termites are affecting your home.

If you’re interested in having your house inspected for termites, Hitman offers a Free Annual Termite Check as part of their ‘Complete Package’. They also give the owner a written report on their findings, something very rare for Pest Control specialists to do.

4. Rodents not Chewing on Electrical Cables

Rodents chewing on electrical cables is more dangerous than you realise. Why? Because they can be a fire hazard to your home! Sure, plastic insulation coats the metal wiring, but a rodent makes short work of it, leaving nothing behind except for hot and exposed metal. From there a wire can short circuit and cause a spark or heat up and ignite nearby insulation or the wooden support structure of your home. It is important to have regular pest inspections to identify any issues you may have in your home.

5. Comfort in your Own Home

As mentioned in one of our previous blog posts (which if you haven’t read yet, Click Here), pest control is important to protecting you and your home. Pests will significantly impact your way of living and also cause significant damage to your home. Having all sorts of bugs and other nasty critters in your home is no way to live. Pest inspections and ongoing management are an important part of maintaining quality home living. It is important to hire a qualified pest control technician to find the source of the problem and put in place procedures to fix it.

A professional pest control service company like Hitman have proper procedures in place and trained specialists who are able to identify the specific pest infestation affecting your home. They can also locate the source of the problem, and apply the best long term measures to correct it.
