If you do suspect a pest problem in your home, you may want  to consider professional pest control help. Selecting a pest control service is as important as selecting other professional services.  National Pest Management Association (NPMA) suggests the following guidelines for selecting a pest control service.

Pest management plays a major role in allowing us to live healthier, more prosperous and comfortable lives. The pest management professional relies on pesticide application as just one part of a total pest management program. The untrained consumer, who purchases a pesticide over-the-counter, can only make an intuitive judgment on how to properly apply the pesticide. However, the professional pest management technician relies on training, expertise and more sophisticated techniques to manage pests in an environmentally friendly manner.
