Due to the increase in bed bug infestation, the demand for pest control services rises. And though generally, it is a bad thing, for pest control companies it is an opportunity to earn big.

However, one of  our readers was asking – Is Pest control a decent paying job for a man to support his family?

I have been working in the Pest Control field for almost a year now, and I love it! I enjoy everything about my job. But right now I am kind of at a cross roads and my wife and I are about to start a family. I would like to hear from individuals who are raising a family on a pest control salary. Is this a well paying career? Obviously I am not looking to be rich, but I would like to stay in the pest management field if it is a good career to have.

To answer him, another of our readers responded:

I had a guy that work for me that was in the pest control business for 12 years but the benefits were bad but he loved the job.

For  the most part, the coming back of bed bugs is a bad thing. However, for those who earn a living to exterminate them it’s kind of a good thing. But with many effective bed bug sprays that can now purchased, more and more now choose to eliminate the pests themselves. In a way, that lessens the opportunity for pest control companies. However opting for a green bed bug killer can help attract back more customers.

Pest Control – Can You Earn Enough Exterminating Pests? is a post from: Bed Bugs

Pests as bed bugs are very common in apartments. It’s good to know that there are landlords who are dedicated to provide safe living environment to their tenants and are initiating pest control actions.

But what do inspectors do during the inspection? What are the things you have to do to prevent problems for both sides? One of our readers sent us a message asking those specific things.

My building has pest control schedules, I was told the company will come next week and they want access to the bathroom, closets and kitchen. What do they do when they pest control the apartment? do I need to empty my closets?, I have a cat, a betta and a few indoor plants mostly cooking spices like chives, rosemary, etc, I am wondering if it is safe for my pets and if they will give me trouble because I have plants inside, any advice?

To help, we got the following answer from another of our readers.

Did they give you anything to leave for the exterminator? I used to leave a checklist for apartments. The tenants were asked to fill out and leave them on the kitchen table. They were to inform me of any problems or concerns, like pets.

The main focus should be inspection, to look for problems. The bathroom and kitchen access is because bugs need water. The closets is probably for mice. Don’t empty the closets. Just try to clear the floor.

The days of random spraying and baseboard treatment are supposed to be gone. If the exterminator is any good, they will figure out you have a cat in about 2 seconds, and be careful. The plants will be fine. Several herbs repel bugs naturally. They are a good thing to have around.

In a pest control inspection, inspectors usually check into places where pests commonly hide or breed. You don’t have to empty your cabinets or closets. However, you have to let them know, or at least your landlord, that you have a cat just to give them a heads-up. If the inspection is for bed bugs, then they will definitely inspect your couch and mattresses as well so you might also need to give them access to your bedroom.

Pest Control Inspection – How Is It Done? is a post from: Bed Bugs

There are many pest control companies out there. Some of  them offer genuinely quality services and some are just after the money. But the question is: how do you know which of them you can trust to provide the quality service that you are paying for?

That’s basically what one of our readers want to know about. And here’s her inquiry:

I am considering to sign up a two year contract with the Southern Pest Control company for the lawn and termites treatment. I have had previous negative experiences with other lawn pest control companies, where a perfectly green and healthy lawn got weeds and dry patches. Maybe I need to change my approach?

Please share your experience with the Southern Pest Control company, if you use them.
Thanks!

One response we got for from our readers is this:

There’s accumulated advice on making a good choice in the page: http://www.drdons.net/choose.htm
Rmember that you are primarily after the pest management and not just regular pesticide application. Hire guys that think about what they are doing.

It is a good thing to ask the experiences of others about the services they received from the company you are considering. However, you can’t just sit back and wait for the responses. You have to do other things. Like what? You might ask. Well, you can call the pest control company and ask about important things. Examples are the details of the contract and the methods or processes they are implementing to get the job done.

You need to always remember that whatever pest you have, be it bed bugs, termites or ants, hiring an exterminator to get rid of them will cost much. So before you pick a pest control company, you have to make sure that they can really provide you the kind of service that you need.

If you change your mind and want to do lawn pest control yourself, here’s a video that can help:

Finding The Right Pest Control Company is a post from: Bed Bugs

A house can be infested by many different pests. Among those pests are bed bugs. Basically, they each requires different treatment. Those treatments, to effectively work, also require different tools and materials.

But is there an electronic pest control device that can be considered the best? Well, one of our readers wants to know the same thing.

Here’s the query we got from him.

I have a pest problem in my house with mice and insects. That traps and baits aren’t really having that much affect. I have been seeing ads for Riddex and Pest Control Plus. You plug them into the wall and they send signals through your house to repel the pests. I would like to know which ones really work so I can get rid of this nuance. Thank You
Sorry for the spelling errors

Here’s one of the responses we got for his question:

I’ve got 3 of the devices and still get mice. I think they’re useless.

Here at bedbugbully, we think that the answer depends greatly on two things – what pest to get rid of and what kind of treatment you intend to implement. Because different pests can be eliminated in  various ways, one electronic pest control device for one treatment may not work or needed in another.

Nonetheless, your best weapon to get rid of any pest is knowledge. Identify the kind of pest you have in your house and know as much as  you can about them. Any information you can get you can use against pest.

If you have a hunch or had confirmed that what you have to deal with are bed bugs, watch the video below to know more about those small vampire-like pests.

What Is The Best Electronic Pest Control Device? is a post from: Bed Bugs

If you are struggling with a pest issue right now, and your over-the-counter product just is not doing the job, you may need a professional pest control supplies strength product instead. Now, if you are like most folks, when you have an insect issue, you go to the hardware store and buy something that says it “Kills in second” or “Kills in one spray” and go home and unload it on your bed bugs treatment problem. Not so fast, it may make the situation worse.

How? Well certain kinds of pests will respond in a way that could cause you to see even more of them. For instance, Odorous House Ant queens will “fracture” the colony when conventional pest control products are used to try and stop an attack from them. The result is more colonies coming at your doorstep.

Another example of do-it-yourself horror is homeowner termite manager. You really need professional pest control supplies or go for a lot of reading before attempting to tackle a termite colony. However, pest control product manufacturing companies will put termites on the the list of target pests on the label and your innocent consumer buys it not knowing that the little can they are holding will not even put a dent into any termite colony, which could number as many as one million or more. Most times a can of professional pest control supplies is used, it is to stop the swarmers inside the house, but they are not the ones a homeowner needs to worry about–its the ones you cannot see that are doing the damage. There is not too much over-the-counter that you can buy to fix them either, since termites most times are under your home, and without proper equipment, it is difficult to prevent them.

Education Before Execution

Education before execution, and when it comes to spraying stuff in the house, this certainly applies. So how does one choose what professional pest control supplies product to buy?

Carefully! Do not believe that a product is right for you just because the product label has your problem pest listed. Talk to people in the pest control industry, or watch pest control programs online such as Dominators.TV. Then after learning more about the pest you are going to tackle, take a trip to a local pest control company that offers professional pest control supplies for sale, or go online to web sites that sell pest control products online. Just a word to the wise here: Make sure that the product you are purchasing is legal in your state. Most reputable sites will note if merchandise is not allowed to be used in your state.

If you are dealing with a pest problem at the moment, and OTC product, does not work, you may need professional strength pest control products supplies in place. Now, if you’re like most people, when you have an insect problem, you go to the hardware store to buy something that says “kill in seconds” or “Kill a spray” and go home and Download the problem of error. Not so fast, which can aggravate the situation. How? Correct answer certain types of pests in a way that could make it look even more of them .

For example, odorous ant queens House “split” of the colony, where the control of harmful traditional products are used to try to stop an attack from them. The result is more colonies next to your door. Another example of the horror “DIY” is the owner-manager of termites. You really need professional supplies fight against pests or take a lot of reading before trying to meet a colony of termites.

However , the pest control company will manufacture termites in the list of target pests on the label and the purchase of innocent consumers santhose who can not see they do damage. Not much, “cons that you can buy to fix it, since the time of most of termites in their house without the proper equipment, it is difficult to avoid. Education before the execution, and when it comes to spraying things in the house, it is certainly true.

How to Pick Your Pest Control Product
