Six Reasons To Call The Pros About Bed Bugs In Your Alexander City Home

What’s oval-shaped, six-legged, and a big fan of hitchhiking? If you said bed bugs, you would be right! When faced with bed bug infestations, homeowners have a quick decision to make: get professional help, or do things on their own? The most common reason why homeowners consider solo pest control operations is due to the supposed costs of professional work versus do it yourself (DIY) efforts. However, these fears are unfounded at best. Let’s look at some reasons why.

Common DIY Bed Bug Methods (And Why They Don’t Work)

Homeowners rely on dozens of DIY bed bug control methods, many of which are unfounded or even dangerous. Below is a description of some of the most common methods, along with its rough cost and general application:

• Diatomaceous Earth (DE): The thought process behind using DE to clear up bed bug infestations sounds great on paper, but is much more difficult to apply in practice. Not only will DE need to be applied on, over, and on top of every surface imaginable, but it will likely need to be on your bedding as well. This makes for an itchy, powdery few days!  What's worse, it may not eliminate your entire bed bug infestation. Rough Cost: $50 a bag. 
• Vinegar Sprays: Bed bugs are no more a fan of vinegar smells than people are, but strong scents alone will not be enough to send rooted infestations packing. Rough Cost: $15-20. 
• Over The Counter: Over the counter sprays, dusts, and baits are not only filled with chemicals, but they are extremely expensive as well. If used incorrectly, bed bug numbers may rise, while your family’s health declines. Rough cost: $100+ dollars.

As it stands, DIY bed bug control methods are much less likely to nab entire infestations and may be a significant waste of money. After factoring in cost, time, and aggravation, the above methods do not make much sense in a home or commercial setting.
