Pest Control Professional

AEPI How to Know When to Call a Professional

There are many complicated answers to this question. I will begin to answer this in the most general of terms then get a little more specific.

You should strongly consider calling a pest control professional about once a year for a complete inspection under your house, especially if you live in the northwest with its damp weather and lush vegetation. Call AMERICAN EXTERMINATION PLUS, at 800-455-4514 to set up your “no cost look see” inspection.

Homeowners are rarely aware of the damage that is being done by wood destroying pests such as Sub Termites, Damp-wood Termites, Carpenter Ants, Wood Boring Beetles, and Wood Decay Fungi. These are pests that generally stay out of the way and out of your sight. In most cases they will only be detected by a knowledgeable and experienced inspector. Since these pests can move in unseen, and at any time, you should have the sub-structure of your home inspected regularly. Again, AMERICAN
EXTERMINATION PLUS is available for a “no cost look see inspection” at 800-455-4514

On the other hand there are a large number of pest insects such as cockroaches, spiders, mice, rats, fleas, kitchen moths, wasps, sugar ants, and etc. that can be a very big nuisance. Most of these will be very visible to you as you go about your daily routine. Every person has their own “pest threshold”. Some people don’t want to see any pests in their homes at all, at least on a regular basis. Other people can tolerate some and would only call a professional when it begins to be too much for them. Still other people can tolerate a lot and may even try to deal with it themselves prior to calling a pro. If you are one of those who likes to try it yourself then give us a call and we may be able to give you some good advice on how to do that. Or call us when you have reached your personal “pest threshold”. Call us 800-455-4514 for DIY advice or professional help.

There are other pests that can be very obvious and not at all easy to deal with. These would include bed bugs. If you think that you might have bed bugs you should call a professional immediately. The longer you wait the worse it will get. Most homeowners are not prepared to deal with this challenge so we recommend calling very quickly. There are very specific protocols for minimizing the initial impact of these pests so call AMERICAN EXTERMINATION PLUS at 800-455-4514 and we will gladly help you with those protocols and help you to get rid of your bed bugs.
