When you have bugs or other pests in your home or office, it’s tempting to just take care of them on your own. There are plenty of do it yourself remedies available for pest control, such as over-the-counter products and methods that use common household supplies. However, there are several reasons to avoid these and hire an NJ pest control company instead.

Placing Bait in the Wrong Spots

One of the most common mistakes people make with OTC baits is putting them in places where pests won’t get to them. You have to know where pests are getting inside your office in order to use these products effectively. Otherwise, the baits you place be ineffective at getting rid of pests.

Ignoring the Cause

Getting rid of pests in one area doesn’t mean that you’ve eliminated them completely. If you have ants, flies or other pests, it’s important to find out where they’re coming from and how they’re getting in. When you know this, you can work on stopping them at the source.

Using Products Improperly

When you use OTC pesticides and other products, using them the wrong way can be dangerous to you, your employees and your pets. Pest control products need to be used safely and properly.
