Many homeowners try DIY hacks — bleaching, phenyl, vinegar sprays, “home remedies”, and supermarket pest sprays.
Here’s the truth: these methods rarely work, and often make the problem worse.
Here’s why professional pest control is the only real solution.
1. DIY Targets Only Visible Pests
If you see 3 cockroaches, there are 30 hiding.
If you see 1 rat, there are 5 nearby.
DIY kills only the visible pests — the colony survives.
2. Professionals Use Stronger, Government-Approved Chemicals
Licensed companies like FIFO Pest Control use:
- WHO-approved gels
- Odourless sprays
- Long-lasting chemicals
- Termite-grade solutions
These are not available in the market for retail buyers.
3. Technicians Understand Pest Behaviour
Correct pest control requires:
- Knowing nesting areas
- Understanding pest biology
- Using the right chemical at the right spot
YouTube tricks won’t fix that.
4. Long-Term Prevention, Not Temporary Relief
DIY methods work for hours or days.
Professional treatments last 3–6 months or longer.
You also get:
- Warranty
- Free re-services
- Specialist support
5. Saves Time, Money & Health
DIY attempts often spread pests instead of eliminating them.
Meanwhile, your:
- Food gets contaminated
- Kids fall sick
- Furniture gets damaged
- Termites spread silently
One professional visit removes the problem safely and completely.
