Exterminator vs. Pest Control Company: Is There Really A Difference?

Remember the old exterminators in their uniforms and caps carrying a spray can? Fast forward to today’s pest control technicians. They’re educated professionals who focus on environmentally conscious ways to vanquish pests.

Exterminator vs. Pest Control Company:  Here are the 3 Key Differences:

1. The main goal of an exterminator is to destroy pests without actually looking into what is the root of the pest problem.  A Pest Control Company focuses on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to uncover why the pests are present, ultimately altering the conditions that attracted them in the first place. Simply put, they recognize that long-term prevention and management is the best medicine.
2. Exterminators depend solely on pesticides that may be harmful. On the other hand, a pest control professional will use only organic and environmentally friendly treatments, and only if necessary, as a last resort.
3. Exterminators provide temporary solutions to potentially long-term issues. A Pest Control Company builds relationships with their clients. They will investigate how the issue began so that they can make changes and come up with a prevention and treatment plan to keep pests out.
