When bugs make their way into your home or business, the first thing that comes to mind is, “I need to call the professionals. But what happens after that? Information on the approaches and materials used in professional pest control offerings. Understanding how professional pest control services work is important if you want to make the best decision for your property. 

What Do Pest Control Companies Use, And What Makes Us Different? 

So, what do pest control companies use, and how does Progreen Pest Control & Lawn differ from the rest? The industry of pest control has changed significantly throughout the years. The days when pest control used to mean chemical fogging or blanket spraying are gone. Today, forward-thinking companies such as Progreen Pest Control & Lawn apply a science-based, eco-friendly approach to pest control. Here are some of the substances and strategies, and types of technology that professionals rely on to keep your space pest-free.

What do pest control companies use? The response to this question is going to depend on what kind of pest it is and what the environment is like, what sort of infestation the home has, and whether or not the client has concerns about how safe the material is, and they prefer to stay as green as possible. HBA Suppressants Generally, pest control services require a mixture of the following:

Insect Growth Regulators

These compounds do not directly kill pests. Rather, they disrupt the insects’ growth process, so that they can’t mature or reproduce. IGRs have proved to be particularly effective for cockroaches, fleas, and mosquitoes.

Plant and Biopesticides

Made from plant extracts, including pyrethrum (chrysanthemum flowers) and essential oils such as peppermint or clove. Although less toxic to people and pets, these products are still effective when used properly.

Chemical Treatments

Contemporary pest control measures involve pinpoint applications of synthetic chemicals, such as pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. These are typically used in cases of severe infestation or when pests are not affected by natural solutions.

Baits and Traps

From ant bait stations to rodent snap traps and pheromone lures, baiting tactics offer a low-risk, specific form of pest control. With these, widespread chemical use is diluted, and the pests are still led away from sensitive pockets.

Residual Sprays

These sprays adhere like Velcro to such surfaces as baseboards, cracks, and crevices, offering lasting protection for days or weeks. They are most suited to high-insect traffic zones or structural openings

Dusts and Powders

Voids, walls & electrical boxes are dusted with silica or boric acid powders. They’ll adhere to the shells of insects, drying them out and ultimately killing them, without using any toxic ingredients.

Whereas most pest control businesses carry the same array of weapons, it’s all about how and when those tools are used. Progreen Pest Control & Lawn is focused on an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, which favors low-impact and long-term prevention.

Here is what makes Progreen unique:

Customized Treatment Plans

No two pest problems are the same. Wet and forget technicians work to figure out the source of the problem with a thorough inspection before choosing the appropriate combination of treatments. They’re licensed professionals who take the building configuration, the climate in your area, as well as the local vegetation into account when creating a pest control plan.

Eco-Conscious Applications

Progreen selects low-footprint products. So they choose biodegradable, natural-based agents whenever they can, doing so in a way that doesn’t harm children, pets, and ecological allies like pollinators. They also comply with all EPA requirements for registered pesticide applications.

Seasonal And Regular Maintenance

In pest control, there’s more to it than simply eliminating the problem — there’s also prevention. Progreen provides seasonal service programs to accommodate seasonal changes in pests’ habits. Their preventative system also helps prevent re-infestation and reduces the need for repeat chemical usage.

Advanced Monitoring Tools

Progreen includes ultramodern technology like digital rodent monitoring and motion-activated cameras, and pheromone detection. With such tools, technicians can detect problems early on and take action before an issue becomes widespread.

Focus on Customer Education

Residential clients can expect to see a 90-100% reduction and are usually spider-free 8-12 weeks, depending on the Client’s environment, with additional helpful strategies the client needs to follow in order to prevent future invasions. They want to give clients control – their central strategy for survival.

You may still be wondering, what do pest control companies use that I can’t just buy over-the-counter sprays or build a DIY trap? It all boils down to training and precision, and a heavy dose of results orientation.

Commercial pest control services have access to commercial chemicals not available in stores. They are stronger and more durable and are often mandatory for you to dohteresitate to cuments. More importantly, technicians are trained to know how to use them the right way. Not only can they spot visible pests, but they can also find hidden nests, breeding sites, and even access points that DIY methods tend to overlook.
