The continuous problem

The Sacramento Valley has a Mediterranean type climate and this contributes to your pest problem.

For some homeowner the pest problem never quite seems to go away no matter what DIY pest control solution you have tried. The material is not the concern whether organic or commercial. The ants, spiders, earwigs, rats, mice or even cockroaches never quite seem to go away. There can be an unsettling feeling with constant pest problems.

You have tried on your own:

Pesticides are one item where the label really needs to be followed. Its not uncommon for homeowners to tell is they have bought all sorts of materials only to have them not work. A pest control technician is licensed to mix the materials or chemicals and are taught to follow the label law.

Once the materials have been mixed then the possible left overs may have to be stored or destroyed. One of the biggest challenges is storing the material the correct way. Once stored you do have to worry about the shelf life and proper labeling.

Last of all is the active ingredient issue. Some active ingredients do not interact well with others. Sometimes homeowners do not follow the label and mix materials that can cancel each other out.

This canceling out of materials means that the mix of supplies is essential rendered useless. Once you have the mix the question now becomes how do you legally dispose of it??
