As you check HVAC filters, search for leaks, reapply caulking, and perform other monthly home maintenance chores, are you remembering to check pest control off your list? Unfortunately, most homeowners don't think about pest control until it's too late. But pest control is meant to control pest activity, or prevent pests from ever becoming a problem. Preventing pests is much easier, and less expensive, than exterminating them, just as maintaining your water heater is much simpler than replacing it. Homeowners should include year-round pest control as part of their regular home maintenance to ensure a safe, comfortable home.

Walking through the pest control aisle of your local store, undertaking your own pest control job without any professional help probably looks like an easy task. However, it wouldn’t take long into the project to realize this is far from the truth. It’s tempting to try and take it on, but most pest control jobs should be left for the experts to take care of.

Don't let the winter lull you into a false sense of mosquito control. To keep you and your family safe, it's best to choose a professional mosquito protection program that covers you year round. Saela has a mosquito extermination program that keeps these dangerous pests out of your yard and away from your family.
