5 Common Myths About Pest Control Debunked

Pest control is full of myths and misinformation that can lead to costly mistakes. Let’s uncover the truth behind some of the most common myths so you can protect your home and workplace effectively.

Myth 1: “Clean Homes Don’t Get Pests” Even the cleanest homes can attract pests. Cracks in walls, water leaks, and nearby infestations can bring in unwanted visitors.

Myth 2: “Ultrasonic Repellents Work for Everything” There is limited scientific evidence that ultrasonic devices work against a wide range of pests. Professional treatment is far more reliable.

Myth 3: “You Only Need Pest Control When You See Bugs” Pests often hide in walls and under flooring. Waiting until you see them usually means the infestation is already serious.

Myth 4: “DIY Methods Are Just as Good” DIY sprays and traps may reduce visible pests but won’t eliminate nests or breeding grounds. Professionals target the source.
