Many consumers think they can save money by doing their own pest control. Often they can, but not always. Pests will return if the reason for their presence is not corrected. Pest control professionals will try to determine why there is a problem, inspect for all possible pest locations and implement an integrated pest management program with minimal use of pesticides. Consumers that rely only on the use of pesticides often fail and may present a health problem to others in the home or workplace.
