The DIY movement in America has exploded in the last few decades. More and more Americans enjoy the occasional DIY project around the house, like fixing a leaky faucet, or building a garden bed. However, there are some DIY projects that should be left to the professionals. Is pest control one of those things that should be left up to the pros? The answer is simple; it depends on what type of pest you’re trying to get rid of. Some pests can be easily treated at home, like seeing a few ants or a bee here and there. Professionals aren’t needed in those situations. However, if you see termites near your foundation or bed bugs in your home, that’s a job for a pro!!
Here are some factors to consider before you decide to DIY your next pest treatment.
Pest Sprays
DIY – While a trip to the hardware store is fast and easy, the pest sprays you find there are not very useful. Many pest sprays are not rated for all the pests listed in the label, even though they advertise that they are valid. This is especially true for bed bugs! These chemicals can also be quite dangerous if not applied correctly and in well-ventilated areas.
Professional – The chemicals used by pest professionals are highly effective against common indoor and outdoor pests. In Arizona, it’s common to use these sprays for centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and other common pests. The professionals are trained to administer these chemicals in a safe and responsible way.
Heat Treatments
DIY – There are many DIY heat treatment options out there claiming to be successful against a bed bug infestation. The truth is, if you have a bed bug problem, you can’t afford to mess around.

Rodents & Bees
DIY – treatment and/or removal of rodents and bees can be very dangerous. Not only are you risking sickness and injury, but the problem could also be hidden, and performing a DIY treatment would cause the problem to get worse. Likewise, trying to remove a bee colony can result in hundreds of stings and even hospitalization. Please do not try to solve your rodent infestation or bee problem using DIY methods.
