It's a common belief that changing seasons can lead to lowered pest activity. After all, colder weather means everything naturally slows down so pest infestations should follow suit. However, the truth is that seasonal changes only modify their behaviors instead of causing them to stop their activities. In the warmer months, reproduction is the main focus while in the colder months, the pests are more concerned about finding shelter and access to food. As such, it's critical to practice proper pest prevention all year long instead of case by case.
The Failure Of A Case By Case Approach
When pest activity is deemed to be low or just not present, it's the natural inclination of Raleigh homeowners to place less focus on pest prevention. They’ll often approach the situation on a case by case basis, which is a recipe for disaster. This is only enhanced when you consider that most homeowners also try to address the problem on their own instead of seeking professional assistance. Some of the largest problems with this approach include:
- Reproduction: It's a known fact that pests reproduce rapidly as a rule. For practical purposes, this translates to a simple equation. If you see a few pests running around, then there are likely dozens, if not hundreds, in hiding from plain sight. Against these odds, you're already lagging.
- Incomplete Results: Professional pest control companies have both the time and the resources necessary to control and eliminate the existing pest population. In nearly every case, homeowners lack either time, resources, or both causing them to end up with incomplete results at best.
- No Future Prevention: Even when DIY (do it yourself) pest control is effective, the solution only lasts for so long since they don't address the possibility of return appearances or pest behavioral changes as the seasons change.
With the change in pest behaviors and the need for a concentrated effort, the only effective solution is to deliver a comprehensive approach to pest control. This kind of approach can only occur with a professional pest control company that offers an ongoing coverage plan.
