What worries me the most is when I did a Google and Bing search for “Do It Yourself (DIY) products for Bed Bugs” (About 5,710,000 results (0.35 seconds) and Bing 8,900,000 results. There is so much information out there and I want to know who is right and who is wrong? Everybody is an expert these days, well I have to tell you – do your homework and if you need an opinion find someone knowledgeable. Remember the adage “If it sounds to good to be true”. Don’t fall for all these claims, make sure you get all the facts and don’t use things that could hurt you worse. Hire a professional because they know how better pest control helps protect public health and improves our quality of life.

Leave it to the Pros – Find a Local Pest Control Company
When pests find their way indoors, homeowners are often tempted to try and control the problem on their own. However, the truth is that most pests – from bed bugs and termites to wasps and other stinging insects – are better left to professionals. The professionals listed in our exterminator directory have the knowledge, tools, and training to safely and properly eliminate pest infestations. If you are concerned about an infestation on your property, it’s best to hire licensed, local exterminators to assist in proper identification and treatment of the household pest problem.

I think when it comes to Bed Bugs, I would have to call a pest control company especially after reading your very useful blog and information. Excellent and very useful for your average homeowners.
Thanks Will, I agree if I wasn’t in the pest control business I would also call a Pro. This whole blood sucking thing just scares me.
