The answer to a pest infestation is to first identify the type of pest and the source of the problem. Common causes of pest infestations include food sources, moisture issues, and entry points in the home. Symptoms may include seeing the pests themselves, finding droppings or nests, or noticing damage to your property.
For minor infestations, homeowners may be able to address the problem themselves through DIY methods like sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using over-the-counter pest control products. However, for larger or more complex infestations, it's best to call in a professional pest control technician. They have the expertise and equipment to properly identify the pest, apply the right treatments, and prevent the problem from recurring.
