5 Reasons a Routine Pest Management Program is Right for You
From mowing the lawn to completing weekly chores, owning a home requires regular maintenance. Most upkeep and preventative measures come naturally, but it seems tasks like routine pest management get pushed aside, only to be addressed when a problem arises.
6 Reasons to Start a Routine Pest Management Program
By incorporating quarterly pest control into your regular home maintenance checklist, you can prevent the arrival of many pests, as well as unexpected costs associated with their removal.
1. Year-Round Pest Prevention
Perhaps the biggest reason to consider a routine pest management program is to get a process in place for detecting pest problems early. Regular inspections detect pests you may not even be able to see yet, eliminating the problem before it gets worse. Plus, different pests invade at different times throughout the year, but routine pest treatments mean you’re covered year round. For example, our Alltra Pest Control Program treats for:
- Cockroaches
- Rodents
- Ants
- Beetles
- Moths
- Spiders
- Crickets
- Centipedes
- Millipedes
- Silverfish
- Hornets
- Wasps
- Bees
2. Reduce Unexpected Costs
Depending on the pest, removal and repair expenses can add up quickly and unfortunately, aren’t covered by homeowner’s insurance. With a routine pest management program, you pay to prevent pests from invading in the first place. And if a problem should arise in between treatments, you know it will be handled and corrected to prevent future incidents.
3. Health & Safety Concerns
From spiders and insects to rodents and cockroaches, keeping your home pest-free means you don’t have to worry about the dangerous bites, diseases and germs that can be transmitted by pests. Another reason a pest-free home is a healthy home — Pests have been shown to worsen allergy and asthma symptoms. A regular pest management program keeps pests at bay and your family healthy.
4. Home Value Preservation
Detecting pests early helps preserve the value of your home by catching pest activity before they are able to do physical harm to your home and belongings. In the United States alone, termites cause an estimated $5 billion worth of damage every year. And that’s just in repairable home damage. Destroyed personal and family items like books, photo albums and boxes obviously can’t be replaced.
5. Peace of Mind
When it comes down to it, a routine pest management system keeps pests off your mind. When you don’t see the pests, you know the program is working. You can rest easy knowing your home — one of your most valuable assets — is protected by a trusted partner who knows your property, neighborhood and unique needs.
Once it’s implemented, a pest management program actually keeps pest control off your regular home maintenance checklist! And one thing’s for certain… you won’t see any pests when you cut the grass and wash the dishes.
