Cockroaches the most loathed pest.

There are some very good reasons why cockroaches are considered the one of the most hated pests in the world. They are known to spread disease-causing bacteria as well as causing asthma and respiratory problems and the stigma associated with cockroaches and unsanitary conditions. Every property is at risk of cockroach infestation but there are ways to limit cockroach activity by removing any food sources a scrap of food is a mountain of food to a cockroach, remove water they need water to survive, removing water will help to break the lifecycle, remove their shelter by sealing any gaps, cracks & crevices this will also limit any access points. Due to the breeding cycle of cockroaches (faster than rabbits) the best way to take control is to call a professional and licenced pest man as they have greater experience, knowledge and a arsenal of tools and pesticides to keep your premises cockroach free.

Why Pest Control costs what it costs

Why does pest control cost so much?

After all you can go to any hardware or supermarket buy some insecticide and hose the house down to your hearts content. You will save some money and acquire a sense of achievement against Mother Nature, tell your spouse and rave about your ability to protect your family and home. But then a week later guess who is back? The hardwares and supermarkets do not have the pesticide market cornered but they do make a killing selling products over and over, not because it doesn't kill the pests but because you don't know how to use it. Do you even read the instructions prior to application? Did you know that the law requires you to read and follow the instructions exactly?  Would you perform a medical operation on a family member if you had the medicine, medical tools and even a book on how to replace a kidney? Pest control is the same, the laws, products, methods and tools change constantly. Your pest man has to be an entomologist, chemical engineer,a construction expert, plumbing expert, and a mathematician and be able to explain these complicated subjects to you. I have been in the pest control industry for over 15 years and this year alone have been to 4 training seminars one of those being 4 days. So what are you paying for? In short ME a life dedicated to pest control and keeping up with the ever changing landscape of it. You are not paying for me to spray your premises, you are paying for it to be done right. If you want it done right the give us a call.
