What is factored into the cost of pest control?
- The type of pest we are dealing with
- Extent of the problem – are we catching it early stages, or are we treating a nasty infestation?
- The size of your property – spraying a 800 sq ft apartment versus a 3-story 3000 sq ft home with a large patio, the costs are going to be different for sure.
- The number of service visits are required (mice treatments are 1 or 3 visits, fire ants are minimum 3 visits, bird control requires onsite inspection and consultation first)
- If remedial/renovation work is required. In severe cases, excavation work might be required. You could have an ants nest residing in a wall, or under the foundations of a home that needs to be get at. Or, for wildlife control digging trenching around your home to install exclusion fencing is time consuming.
Is it worth paying for Pest Control?
If it’s going to get rid of the problem and relieve you of stress and headaches, then we say that it’s worth it.
The benefits of hiring a professional is that they have the skills and know-how to deal with the pests quickly, safely, and efficiently. Where it might take you weeks to figure it out as you attempt multiple DIY approaches to eventually land on one that sticks, hiring a professional will typically end your pest problems there and then. Not need to wait and go through the pain of figuring it out yourself.
But it also depends how serious the problem is. Something like a carpenter ant infestation would require professionals who know how to locate and treat the nest that’s underneath your floorboards, or in a wall void.
Lastly consider the costs of not acting. We know that rats can rip up insulation, chew though electrical wiring and seriously damage other materials. Or even not treating an ant issue, only to result in a multi-colony infestation underneath your patio tiles. Treating both effectively so the problem is completely gone, is a hard thing to do on your own. In these cases it definitely pays to have a professional on your side.
