Whether it’s at a home or a business, misidentifying a pest can not only waste time, but it could make your issue worse than it originally was. The wrong product being used can intensify an infestation or just force pests into more difficult hiding spaces. The biggest issue is cost. If you’re paying to treat the wrong pest, you are wasting money. Then you’ll have to pay to treat for the correct pest. Best to do it right the first time with a properly identified pest by a trusted, Board Certified Entomologist.
