Pest Control – Solutions Pest & Lawn

Whether it's your home or place of business, you may at some point have to deal with a pest infestation of one form or another. Pests of all types can commonly invade a home -- flies, spiders, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes and rodents just to name a few.

Each pest has its own tendencies and habits which is why it's important to know a little bit about the pest to recognize what they like and what they don't like as well as what application method is the best way to eliminate them.

This page is dedicated to all-around general pest control. Rather than targeting one pest, we'll go over the steps you can take and the products you can use to treat for multiple pests, inside and out, for both curative and preventative pest control.

For a more detailed treatment plan for your target pest, you can browse our library of specific common pests. They will contain nuanced guides and specific products for control and prevention.

Note if the insect pest you're seeing is crawling or flying (or both) and it's physical characteristics -- it's size, shape, color, leg count, and presence of antennae. Consider where you are seeing them (indoors or outdoors?) and the time of day. Having an idea of which pest or pests you have will help you in how you approach effective treatment.

Once the pest has been identified, you will want to look around for any environmental conditions that may be causing your pest issues. Most of the time some basic maintenance on a structure can help reduce pest activity.

Pests can enter a home or building through tiny cracks and crevices or voids around the structure. Doing a proper inspection of the property and noting where the pest activity is highest will help you achieve a more targeted application of pesticides.Once you have identified and corrected the conducive conditions then you can implement a proper pest control treatment program.

When conducting DIY pest control, it pays to use high-quality products that the professionals use over what big box retailers carry in the pest control aisle. This is because those generic retailer products are heavily diluted or watered down pesticides that may not effectively eliminate the pest problem.

The products that actually will work effectively are professional-grade DIY pest control pesticides and insecticides which we carry. Professional pesticides kill pests quicker, stay effective for longer, and only a small amount is needed per treatment so they will last you a long time.

After getting confirmation of where the location of pest activity is and/or their harborage area or nest, you can move on to treatment. Before beginning any pesticide treatment, always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and apply responsibly, being mindful of restricted use sites, drift, and limiting contact by people and pets to treated areas until safe.
