Hey, everybody! It’s Sean with LOCAL Bug Guy!
If you’re reading this, you’re probably dipping your toe into the pest control world, wondering if it’s right for you and if you even need it.
The simple answer is, yeah, you should consider pest control, even if you aren’t seeing any bugs right now. Like Benjamin Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Even if you’re not seeing any pests right now, it’s smart to start treating your home regularly to keep them from coming around.
“But Sean, are you sure pest control is really necessary?”
Look, I’m not going to push you to buy, but I will explain what you stand to benefit from pest control. There are plenty of pest control products you can use on your own, but hiring a professional can do more to protect your home than you can on your own.
If you are interested in pest control services and you live in Utah or California, feel free to contact LOCAL Bug Guy for a free quote. We’ll give it to you straight on whether or not professional pest control is right for you.
Keeps you and your home safe
Pest control isn’t just about keeping creepy crawlies out of your house. Sure, bugs can be gross, but some pests can be dangerous if not kept in check.
Spiders like black widows have a bite that can send you to the hospital, and they’re surprisingly common.
Cockroaches carry a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and these little buggers reproduce fast.
Bed bugs leave really itchy bites, and getting rid of them is almost impossible without a professional’s help.
Regular pest control, whether it’s done by yourself or a professional, will help keep these pests and others in check so you can maintain a cleaner, healthier home.
Peace of mind
Pest control services will also give you a lot of peace of mind. No worrying about gross bugs in your house. You’re probably already busy with a career, little league games, PTA meetings, and other responsibilities, so having one more thing to stress about just isn’t okay.
With regular pest control, your house will be protected against common pests like ants, spiders, and wasps. We recommend using a trusty store bought pest control like Ortho Home Defense, or hiring an experienced pest control tech will come around every 8-12 weeks to make sure your home is protected from the topical pests of the season.
Saved time
Lost money can be made again, but lost time is gone forever. If you’ve got enough going on that every hour counts, hiring a professional pest control company to handle your pests can be a smart use of your money.
Conversely, if you have plenty of time on your hands, you might be just fine picking up your run-of-the-mill pest control products at the store and spraying your home yourself. At LOCAL Bug Guy, we find that most of our customers have very busy lives, so they call us to buy themselves a little more time. If you’re in a similar position, we’re happy to help.
A pro will see a problem forming before it’s an actual problem
If you wanted to spray your own home and yard for pests, you can probably do a good job. But one of the major benefits of hiring a professional is that they know how to spot growing problems before they get too big.
They have experience with all kinds of pests, including how they nest, reproduce, and squeeze inside your home. A pest control pro will be able to spot a growing pest issue because it’s their full-time job to understand bugs. This could save you massive headaches in the future.
