The Importance of Pest Control Service at Regular Intervals

Get the Most Out of MyHome.Pro Pest Control & Prevent Unwanted Trouble

Regular pest control services keep your home free of intruders and any potential damages they cause. Unfortunately, most pests have an infestation cycle of 30 to 60 days meaning the quarterly protection plans cannot prevent infestations, only exterminate them– not always effectively. Preventing pest infestation has many benefits, such as keeping diseases at bay, reducing health hazards, encouraging sanitary living conditions, and minimizing allergies and allergic reactions.

MyHome.Pro is different from other pest control companies because the health and safety of your family are our top priorities. Our recommended service plans operate on a 60-day cycle. This type of schedule has proven to be the most effective means of protecting your home because it removes common pests before they have a chance to get comfortable.

To simplify pest control services further, we have a membership plan that bundles all the most essential services in home comfort into one convenient package. With the MyHome.Pro Elite membership, you no longer have to keep up with multiple home services and home service providers. Instead, our team takes care of everything, and you save money on services you would have used anyway.

Safety Considerations for Pesky Infestations in Dallas, Texas 

Fostering a Pest Control Company Committed to Your Health

Pests are more than unwelcome guests. They are health hazards that can negatively impact your family and cause extensive damage to the structure and foundation of your home. The best thing you can do to prevent the fallout of a pest infestation is to prevent it from ever happening. With that said, insecticides are highly toxic chemicals that can also harm your family and are not as effective as using a professional pest control company. Still, we understand that we live in a DIY society, so here are some things to consider from the EPA when exterminating your home.

• Use bait instead of spreading pesticides all over your yard.
• Use ready-to-go pesticides when possible.
• Fogging devices are only for times when it is necessary and should be left to a professional.
• Never use exterior chemicals indoors.
• Store chemicals in their original containers
• Properly dispose of chemicals.

When you follow these guidelines on pesticides from the EPA, you can get rid of pests while keeping your loved ones safe; however, there are also steps you can take to further prevent pests from arriving in the first place.

Prevent Intruders Between Pest Control Service Visits

The Do’s & Don’ts For A Safe & Sanitary Home, Devoid of Pests

As the leading pest control company in North Texas, we think it is important to educate homeowners on steps they can take to prevent overbearing houseguests from making themselves at home. So here are some of the most effective ways to keep pests away long-term.

Patch Exterior Holes

The first step in preventing a pest infestation inside your home is keeping them from finding a way in. Some entrances will be apparent, like door and window seals that are not tight or leaving them open without screens. As a proactive measure, make regular interior and exterior inspections of your home to check for any cracks or holes. Patch or fill any holes you discover immediately, paying close attention to the foundation, loose siding, roof, and utility lines. Not only will this help prevent infestations, but it will also keep your home in better shape by deterring wear-n-tear damage on your house.

Secure Containers

It is near impossible to prevent pests without air-tight storage containers. Most invasive species have superpower-level abilities that help them smell and track down food. For example, ants have five times as many smell receptors, making it very easy to smell those crumbs you dropped from a long way off. That is why preventing pests can become five times easier when you use food storage containers that hold the smell.

Deep Clean Your Home (Soft Surfaces Too!)

Giving your home a thorough deep cleaning is an excellent way of preventing pests because you are actively getting rid of things that could tempt pests to enter in the first place. Forgotten crumbs beneath the stove and that lost sock under your couch create breeding grounds for pests to make themselves at home and, well, breed.

While deep cleaning, do not forget to sanitize soft places as well. Carpets, beds, couches, and rugs are an oasis for creatures like bedbugs and fleas and can lead to some of the most horrendous infestations– you should avoid them at all costs. To minimize your risk of bedbugs and fleas, run anything that will fit through a sanitizing rinse every so often and regularly disinfect your mattress.

Watch Landscaping Closely

It is easy to focus on the interior when it comes to pest control services; however, they can be just as much of a nuisance and cause as much damage outside your house. To stay pest-free, you should oversee your yard for any changes that indicate new guests have taken up residence. To ensure your success, store wood piles away from walls, keep your grass cut and gutters clean, and monitor any changes to the foundation, siding, or roofing.

Properly Dispose of Trash

Garbage is like a feast for pests, so letting it accumulate or not properly disposing of it can attract different species, big or small. If you use a weekly trash service, keep it outside your house and garage. Doing this minimizes the number of pests crossing the barrier of your home.

Inside, switch out trash cans without lids for those with covers to make them more challenging to access. If you continue having trouble with vermin and insects indoors, consider prewashing food containers before throwing them away– after all, they aren’t interested in the containers; pests want the residue of what was inside.

Does This Infestation Require an Expert?

Why Professional Pest Control Services Are More Thorough & Last Longer

In pest control service, there is no substitute for professional help. DIY methods can be effective in the short term, but the problem with relying on them as a long-term solution is that they don’t last. In fact, most of the hardy invaders prove themselves to be stronger than the insecticide. Amateur extermination methods do not phase them because they have their own natural forms of protection. For example, some cockroach species have a shell that allows them to withstand an entire bottle of roach spray without sustaining any permanent damage.

Additionally, finding the right pesticide for your invader is not as easy as it seems. Every pest reacts differently to this harmful chemical, and finding the one that works on your pest is often like pulling numbers out of a hat– random.

At MyHome.Pro, we have an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the most common pests in North Dallas and have become experts at finding and removing them. Our services are so effective because we understand these creatures’ natural instincts and patterns, allowing us to find and exterminate them more quickly with longer-lasting results. Furthermore, your family’s health is our primary concern. We have spent years in the industry developing smarter, safer ways to remove pests so that you don’t have to put those you love at risk in exchange for a pest-free living environment.
