Why Local Pest Control Is Better Than The Big Chains
Jan 01, 2021

If you are looking for a long-term solution for the termites making a meal out of your attic or the mice stealing treats from your pantry, you will surely need the services of a trustworthy pest control company—and fast. Many pest control issues should be urgently addressed, or else they risk getting out of hand. For example, every day you leave a flea infestation alone, a single female can lay 40 to 50 eggs, turning a buggy situation into a swarm straight out of your worst nightmare.

Though time is of the essence, it is also critical to make an informed decision on what company to choose. After all, pest control is one of those tasks that simply needs to be done right. Misunderstanding the situation can end up being a costly mistake to your health, property and budget. Chemicals misused can result in chronic health problems, and certain fumigation treatments cost tens of thousands of dollars. When it comes to pest control, a small misstep can have drastic consequences.

Of course, part of the challenge is figuring out precisely who to call to obtain the best service available. One of the questions that often comes up is whether you should go with a large chain or a small, local company. It may seem like a simple question, but the decision can ultimately have a larger impact than you realize. If you dial up the first big name you think of, you may miss out on a regional business's many advantages. Hiring a local pest control company is a great way to support your community's well-being as well as ensure that you receive the best, personalized service. Just like with tour guides, the best pest control specialists are the locals.

Understanding The Lay Of The Land
Along with knowledge of generally effective pest control strategies and standards, pest control professionals (PCPs) must have a deep understanding of the environment's many unique characteristics. A single treatment method is not guaranteed to work in all climates and conditions. Choosing the best pest control strategies requires specialized knowledge of the property's surroundings and how region-specific species should be dealt with.

North Carolina's diverse ecosystem particularly demands detailed knowledge. As the most ecologically unique southeastern state, it has sub-tropical, temperate, and boreal habitats (mountainous and frigid), which sustains different types of rodents and accompanying pests. There are 1,016 types of insects, and of the 121 mammal species, 21 are endangered or threatened. At Ease Pest Solutions are experts in North Carolina's flora and fauna and provide both broad and specific knowledge. We can make distinctions regarding the unique issues that allow us to implement optimized treatments for your property, limiting the need for unnecessary ongoing treatments and continued discomfort.

Giving Back To The Community And Economy
Every day, we make financial decisions that affect the local economy. Offering work to local businesses is an excellent example of how you can have a positive influence. The money you spend does not just support that particular place. Thanks to their personal interest, locally owned companies invest much more money back into the community. Per dollar, independent retailers return three times as much to the community than their chain competitors. As such, $68 out of every $100 you spend will likely get reinvested as a means of enriching the local economy.

If you must pay for pest control, you might as well spend it somewhere that pays it forward. Ninety-two percent of small business owners donate directly to charities and non-profit organizations that enrich important causes in their area. Unlike national chains, companies like the veteran owned At Ease Pest Solutions are members of the community. Just like other residents, we have a personal stake in seeing the city thrive.

Professional, Personalized Service
To most chain companies, you are just one person in a sea of individuals. More often than not, you will find yourself lost in the crowd and your unique struggles pushed aside in favor of a more generalized approach. In comparison, the attentiveness provided by a local pest control company can be a breath of fresh air. We understand how pest control can disrupt your daily life and work with you to accommodate your needs by creating personalized plans to help you avoid inconveniences and stay well-informed.  From uninvited furry beasts like rats and mice to invasive, creepy crawlers like ants and roaches, we offer top quality service with the benefits of a local establishment. Call us today and get on the road to a pest-free property.
