3 Common Types of Pest Control Methods

How Do You Get Rid of Pests?

Pest control treatments are used to control pest infestations. It is important to note that not all pest infestation companies use the same materials and methods. The following are a few of the most common control methods that are used by experts.

Insecticides

This is the most common type of pest control treatment used by experts. It is used to control a variety of pests, including termites, cockroaches, and flies. It is a powder that is made from chemicals that, when mixed with water, create a solution that is used to treat areas of your home that have been infested by pests. Insecticides can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the product used and the type of pest that has been targeted by the treatment.

Bacillus Thuringiensis

This is a naturally-occurring bacterium that is used by pest infestation companies to specifically target fly infestations. The bacteria is harmless to people, pets, and your home. It is also non-toxic to most plants, although it can be dangerous to some plants and trees, such as apples and almonds. It is available in both spray and dust form, and is used in a variety of ways, including the following:

  • In cracks and crevices around your home
  • In areas of high fly activity
  • In and around areas that have been damaged by pests

Repellents

This is just a temporary pest infestation solution. This method uses chemicals to keep pests away from your living space.
