Identification:
The first step in any treatment program is to make a positive identification of the pest or
pests you wish to control. There are a lot of general use pest control products on the
market and in certain situations, using the wrong products could make problem far worse.
If you are unsure of the type of pest you have, visit our pest identification section
found above for assistance. If you are still unable to make a possitive identification, you
may contact your local county extension office. There you can take your pest for a
positive identification at no charge.

Inspection:
A thorough inspection will greatly enhance the effectivness of your treatment. Just like
all animals, your pest will need shelter, food and water. The inspection will give you
valuable information as to the size of the problem and why your having the pest that you
have. These are also the key areas that you will need to treat. A thorough inspection will
save you time in control of whatever pest you have and will also help you conserve the
pest control products your using, saving you money.
