Please Don’t Mix DIY with Professional Pest Control

If you are the DIY type, we recommend not trying to do-it-yourself pest control then also calling a pest control company. True, you may not know you’ll need a pest control company, but before you even start working on handling the bugs, consider if you have the materials and expertise to fully handle the issue.

The reason is that using consumer brand products, and not professional products and techniques, can worsen the situation.

One example of this is ants. No one wants ants inside their home, but treating them with a can of bug spray may not help. It can in fact, make the situation become more widespread. That’s because some ant species will just “split up” and set up additional paths around the home when sprayed with over-the-counter type pest products. That’s due to the repellant characteristics of most home sprays, even natural and organic ones. These often have potent odors and leave behind harsh residue. So while they may kill the ants you see, the majority of the ants and the main colony isn’t handled.

Then, if you request professional service, it actually makes a professional pest control treatment more challenging. The same can be said of other pests like roaches.

If you want to tackle it yourself, you certainly can. There are places to buy pest control products and plenty of ways to learn how to apply them properly online. However, if you just don’t want the pests and want them taken care of professionally, contact us for an over-the-phone or email quote and we’ll let you know how we can help.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
