DIY pest control – a disaster waiting to happen?
At Manchester Pest Control we know how easy it is, that temptation to cut costs by fixing a problem yourself. Or perhaps you used a professional in the past (in pest control or some other area) and things didn’t work out – you didn’t get the service you wanted or it cost you a lot more than you bargained for. And it’s so easy to just walk into a shop nowadays and be able to choose from a range of off-the-shelf products that might well cost a fifth of what you’d pay a pest control business to do the work. So why not DIY, you may ask yourself? Here’s why…
Knowing the pitfalls
Regular readers of the Manchester Pest Control blog will already have an idea of some of the problems that face home or business owners in the Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire areas who want to deal with an infestation themselves, whether it’s cockroaches, rats, bed bugs or squirrels, to name but a few of the possible culprits. There are legal implications that many people won’t be aware of that could land them in hot water, and then there are possible health issues that may arise either from direct contact with the invading pest (including disposal of the body) or its droppings and urine.
But sometimes, the biggest danger can come from not knowing enough about the pest you are dealing with, and the effectiveness of the solution you are applying. For instance, any chemicals you might be handling are likely to be highly toxic and could be harmful if touched or inhaled – in fact, there are some DIY pest control products you shouldn’t even use inside your home because they can be harmful to you, your family and pets if used in an enclosed space or if they get into your home’s water supply. Please also think of neighbours and visitors if you are leaving poison around the place both inside and outside your property and they don’t know it’s there.
And when all’s said and done, even if you’ve managed to avoid breaking the law or making yourself and others ill in the process, the biggest kick in the teeth comes when you find that the solution you’ve spent time and money on … doesn’t work! So now you’re raced with the decision: do you go back to the shop, buy something else and see if that works, or do you contact Manchester Pest Control?
The reason why professionals have the edge
We wouldn’t expect you to know everything there is to know about the pests infesting your home, but at Manchester Pest Control, it’s our business to know – we deal with these sorts of issues year in, year out. We have well over a decade of accumulated knowledge and experience, and that’s why we know that many shop-bought pest solutions are often only temporary, assuming they even work at all. By the time customers come to us, some have already spent a large amount of money on DIY products that just haven’t delivered. ‘We followed the instructions on the label,’ they’ll say, ‘but it had no effect whatsoever!’
Let’s consider some of the reasons. Sometimes, homeowners misdiagnose the kind of pest they are dealing with – such as confusing bed bugs with fleas. And then there are the different stages of a creature’s life-cycle to consider – again, using the example of insects, it might be that the chemicals you are using have an effect on adults but not on the eggs they have laid. And if you’ve been trying to tackle a rat or mouse infestation, you might not have considered that they are carriers of ticks, fleas and other parasites which may then also pose a problem within your home.
Sometimes the problem is just too big for you to deal with on your own, and we do understand how frustrating that must be. You may find yourself fighting a losing battle if you live in a block of flats where an infestation is widespread amongst neighbouring flats, or if you own a house next door to someone with untidy habits who you feel is to blame for your troubles. There are wider considerations for business owners, who should not attempt DIY pesticide solutions on their business premises unless they hold a certificate that sanctions them to do so.
