The idea of quarterly pest control services that keep bugs out of your home may seem unbelievable.
You might even think it’s not worth the cost. Is preventive pest control worth it?
But if you’ve had ants relentlessly crawling across your countertops or cockroaches scurrying on your floors or mice making nests in your garage, you know the feeling of total pest invasion. And you’d likely do anything to avoid a repeat occurrence.
Here are some key reasons to justify the price of preventive pest control services.
Do I Really Need Pest Control?
Once temperatures outdoors are 50 degrees Fahrenheit, bugs are on the move. They are looking for food, shelter, and a safe place to rest, relax, and -- unfortunately -- make more bugs. Gross.
Particularly if you’ve had pest problems before, pest control services can be worthwhile in 4 key ways.
Expert Eyes
A big benefit of pest control services is having technicians experienced in common bugs in your area.
These pros have years of experience tracking how pests move and finding them in their common hideouts. They know exactly where to look, what to look for, and the most effective ways of treating infestations. They also know tips for preventing recurrences. 
While you may have an interest in insects and want to learn all about them, most people just don't have the time to put toward becoming pest experts.
Time Savings
Procrastination is a real thing. You know it. We know it. When you have so many other things to do at home, quarterly preventive pest control can easily become an afterthought.
But prevention and early detection is a major part of successful and effective pest control.
When you bring in a pro for pest control services, you gain expertise and you also save yourself some time. 
In one hour, a pro can have your pest problem located and identified. Even if you gain just that hour back, think about what you might have done with it. But it will likely take you longer to not only find your pest problems, but also control them.
Cost Savings
Quarterly preventive pest control services cost approximately $125 per visit.
The pest control cost for treating an infestation -- at minimum -- will double that cost. Plus, you need a follow-up visit to ensure the treatment worked and the bugs are gone.
This also helps you budget. If you know you have one fixed expense every quarter that ensures bugs stay out, your cost never varies and you can plan ahead.
Pest Prevention = Peace of Mind
A pest infestation not only more than doubles your costs; it also triples your inconvenience.
Think about it. Pests and rodents are not dainty little creatures that see your box of old family photographs or your favorite food and purposefully avoid it to make you happy. They use what they can get to make nests, hide out, and feast. They are destructive by nature.
Preventive pest control services not only reduce your costs, but they also bring peace of mind. When you don’t have infestations, you don’t have to repair damage caused by insects or rodents, and you’re not exposed to health issues or diseases pests can carry.
Save Yourself the Worry and Be Preventive with Pest Control
Pests and rodents are not welcome guests in your home. They aren’t neat. They don’t respect your personal space. They have this tendency to take over. Not cool.
If you know that every spring ants find their way into your home or that your garage tends to attract all the nearby mice, having preventive pest control services is an effective way to avoid those repeat infestations, as well as thwart any new ones that can crop up.
Staying on top of proper timing for pest control can become challenging on your own. You have work and family and other home chores to manage. Who can remember to stay ahead of pests until they are crawling across your kitchen countertops? We get it.
We’d love to help take this worry off of your mind.
A pest control technician can conduct a general inspection, looking at typical insect and rodent entry spots. They can seal ½-inch or smaller openings and take care of any inside infestations. Then, they can apply a perimeter pest control treatment to keep insects out.
Each quarter, your pest pro returns to ensure that barrier is secure, answer your questions, and inspect any areas of concern. Worries eliminated!
