Some pest control projects can be handled on your own, and others where it is best to call in pest control Melbourne professionals. How do you know which project falls into what category?
The easy answer would be by knowing the difference between “do-it Yourself” (DIY) versus professional services, but this isn’t always foolproof because there might also exist other variables such as whether or not an individual has access/time for specific DIY tasks at hand while balancing work responsibilities outside home improvement activities like gardening, etc.
How do you know if a pest issue is severe? The type and severity of pests will vary depending on the situation. In most cases, it’s best to consult with an expert for help determining what steps need to be taken in response-from hiring professionals or taking other necessary precautions all migrate towards solving your problem at hand!
Specifically, here is a list of some pests that you must leave to the pros:
- Termites: The destructive pests known as termites can cause more than $5 billion in property damage. They have a scissor-like mouth and use it 24 hours per day, seven days a week, to chew through walls or floors of homes that they infest with their bodies until there is no place left for you to settle down comfortably at night time. If you have these little buggers, you need to call a professional right away. These insects can do some severe damage to your home if they’re left unchecked.
- Bedbugs: If you think bed bugs are pesky, wait until they take up residence in your house. They’re notoriously hard to find and can hide behind electrical switches or under wallpaper where we wouldn’t even know it’s there! But don’t worry because a professional pest controller will know how many pests could be living inside based on their expertise with this type of situation and what kind should get rid of them fastest without risking human health risks like bites common amongst other species infestations.
- Carpenter ants: The carpenter ants are one of the most common types found inside homes. They not only construct their nests but also leave behind smooth tunnels when excavation is complete.
- Fungal infections happen due to humidity, which affects our body’s natural defences against them because it makes you more susceptible (allowing fungus growth). These organisms produce toxins, so even if we survived an encounter with a merely Pole or German Frentzel Blastomyces germ could prove fatal! If you see any carpenter ants in your home, it’s best to call in a professional.
- Stinging insects: Infestations of any stinging insects pose serious health risks. They send half a million people to the emergency room every year, and it can be life-threatening for anyone with allergies or asthma when attacked by these colonies in vast numbers!
They say that no matter what type of pest you have, if it keeps coming back and there are frequent infestations in your home, then contact an expert. It could be a small access point such as ants getting into the house through torn window screens or cracks on the foundation where they can crawl inside easily; however, this may also mean something more severe like cockroaches making their way inside due to moist conditions under sinks where leaks likely occur.
