Pest control issues that clients frequently encounter include reinvasion of pests at their businesses and homes. This occurs most especially when pests are not wholly controlled or when the treatment does not cover all the nests or the areas of infestation. This is especially bad if the treatment is inadequate or hurried because it only gets rid of some of the pests; there will always be some that get left behind which will breed again. Solution: Since you want to avoid future infestations, be sure to include follow-up visits in your pest control plan. The initial treatment often has the pest completely wiped out, and routine checks afterwards ensure that the few remaining ones are also eliminated. When necessary, pests that are quite difficult to deal with may require advanced treatment such as baiting, heat treatment or fumigation to completely eliminate the infestation.

Certain pests, such as cockroaches or ants, can become resistant to some of the pesticides used in extermination which makes the threat less effective at specific times. This is especially the case if the same method or product is used over and over again. Solution: Pest control technicians can cycle chemicals and take time to apply different techniques that are a mixture of chemicals and non-chemicals as a way of avoiding resistance. There’s nothing wrong though in doing a more specific application of the newer products or shifting to safer or equivalent solutions that are less hazardous.

Pests trapped in places that are difficult to reach such as between walls, in attics or under flooring can save themselves from general treatment. If these are not spotted during the initial treatment they will cause pests to continue infesting such regions. Solution: A careful examination is necessary. Hiring a licensed pest control service will see the need to use devices like thermal imaging cameras or bait stations to find these pests.

Sometimes, a single treatment will not be sufficient to fully protect the home from further infestation by the pests. Some pest control businesses can treat the symptoms without going a step further to help eliminate the root cause, for instance, fixing gaps, or disposal of foods that attract the pests. Solution: A full-service pest control provider should also provide counselling and take the following steps: blocking any crack or crevice, controlling moisture, and removing any food sources. Depending on the type of pests, regular follow-up and maintenance minimize the chances of getting infected again.
