Have you been questioning wether you can DIY your Pest and Lawn Service? Secondly, not having to deal with trusting or paying a company? We understand why you might be and especially with the abundance of DIY information that is out there. However, sometimes when it comes to DIY, not all work and not all are recommended. While DIY’s work great for arts and crafts, Pest and Lawn Service are not as simple as you may think.
Lawn Service And Why Not to DIY
Why Lawn service you may ask? Firstly, Lawn Service is a field that requires licensing and specific certifications. Therefore, this means that the professionals must have a deep knowledge on all types of weeds and lawn types. Also, knowing lawn attacking insects, funguses, proper irrigation, and knowing how the seasons affect each of these issues listed.
Secondly, it actually may save you money in the end. Seems crazy right? The reason is, professionals have all the proper, quality tools needed to carry out the job. As well, they have the proper chemicals, fertilizers and knowledge to properly care for your lawn. So, if you were to do it yourself, you would need all the proper tools, chemicals and fertilizers. As a result, you may end up buying the wrong things or not using them properly risking damaging your lawn more. Unfortunately, if a new issue arrises google can be a hit or miss and you could treat for the wrong problem, leading to spending more money on chemicals. Not to mention the amount of time you would have to invest to do your lawn yourself. You have to watch your lawn closely, remember the last time you applied chemicals/fertilizers, and know what season you apply products.
Pest Control And Why Not To DIY
Just like Lawn Care, Pest Control Service also requires licensing and certifications. Pest professionals have to possess a deep knowledge on various types of insects and how to treat them, proper use of the proper equipment for the type of insect they are treating for. Most importantly, they must know all chemicals like the back of their hand and their labels. Such as, knowing if certain chemicals can be used inside and knowing if the chemicals are animal and child friendly, etc. Also, they must possess attention to detail to find the source of your issue and detect small signs of an oncoming infestation that a regular person may not recognize.
Firstly, just like the Lawn Care you may end up spending more money than saving. Again, chemicals are expensive, especially if you have to buy different chemicals for different situations. And if used improperly they may not work. Possessing a license allows professionals access to more effective chemicals. Also, handling chemicals yourself can be hazardous as you are less likely to have the knowledge of the labeling, if used improperly you could harm those in your home as well as potentially harming the beneficial insects outdoors.
Solution?
In conclusion, there is a good reason why the pros are required to have licenses and certifications. Not everything is as easy as it may seem from the outside.
