We’ve all experienced a surprise pest moment. One second you’re sitting blissfully in the living room, lounging in the bath, or tidying in the kitchen when, out of the corner of your eye, you see a surprise pest scurry across the floor. It’s amazing how seeing one bug in your house can change your perception of it. One second you imagined yourself living in a pest-free home, and now, suddenly, you feel a bit vulnerable. When this moment hits, and it will if you don’t invest in an ongoing service, people tend to react in one of three ways. You’ll see we refer to these people as guys, but to be clear, both men and women find themselves in these categories when they encounter pests in their homes. Keep reading to see which type you fit into.
The Hide Your Eyes Guy
Are you the kind of person who would prefer to ignore a problem rather than get their hands dirty looking for a solution? This guy is more common than you might think, and typically these people end up calling us eventually. However, the problem has escalated by that point, requiring a much more involved and expensive fix. You can ignore the dirty laundry piling up in the corner or the weeds growing up to your knees, but if you can help it, don’t ignore your pest problems. You deserve to live in a pest-free home, and we would love to help you achieve that.
The DIY Guy
We’ve all seen commercials on television for at-home pest products that promise to eliminate the pests you hate the most. But the truth is, the products you use are just some of the crucial elements of quality pest control. Most people are not pest control experts and thus do not know how to apply pest control products safely and effectively. If the products they sell at your local hardware store are as strong as they claim to be, do you want to use them unsupervised? We appreciate your desire to do things yourself, and when it comes to putting up a new backsplash or making scented bath bombs, you should go for it. We all have hobbies too. However, this doesn’t have to be one of them. Let us take this item off your plate.
The One and Done Guy
Finally, this homeowner is the one that gets so close to pest control success but drops the ball when it comes to consistency. We’re always happy to meet new clients and help them eliminate pest problems. However, when those clients don’t commit to monthly scheduled services, they get the short end of the stick. They call us when they see roaches in the bathroom, and once they’re gone, we don’t hear from them again until the next infestation pops up. However, the most effective way to use our services is as a preventative measure. When we show up at your house monthly, you can rest easy knowing that we’ll keep pests at bay, and you won’t have any surprise pests pop up.
You don’t wait until you have a cavity to visit a dentist or until your engine explodes to have your oil checked, so why wait until your home is infested with pests to call a professional pest service? At Holder Pest Control, we’ve been helping families and businesses keep their properties pest-free for decades here in the DeLand area. So next time you feel like being one of those guys, why not try something different? Sign up for our ongoing service, and you’ll see your surprise pest issues end.
