Dealing with a pest infestation is frustrating and stressful. Despite your best preventative efforts, sometimes pests find their way into places they don't belong - like your home, restaurant, office or other property. At the first signs of a pest problem, many building owners and residents attempt to manage it on their own with traps, sprays and other remedies. But when self-treatment fails to fully eliminate the infestation, or it spreads rapidly, professional fumigation services become necessary.
So how do you know it’s time to call in a pest control fumigation company? Here are some clear signs:
Extensive Evidence of Pests
If you’re regularly spotting roaches, mice, rats or other pests scurrying through multiple rooms despite cleaning and sealing access points, you likely have an established population that requires fumigation. Repeated sightings mean there is significant pest activity and reproduction occurring in your building that won’t be addressed through basic measures. Fumigation can access hidden areas and wipe out the infestation at its source.
Unbearable Odours from Pests
Smells emanating from pest nesting spots, like the ammonia scent of built-up urine, indicate a concentrated and sizable infestation. As pest populations increase, so do the unpleasant odours associated with them. Overwhelming scents that won’t go away are a sign that fumigation is necessary to fully purge pests and sanitise the site. Powerful fumigants can help neutralise difficult smells.
Immune to Other Treatments
If you’ve hired basic pest control services to spray or place rodenticide traps but it seems to have no noticeable effect on the pest presence, then fumigation is likely your strongest solution. Some infestations grow resistant to routine measures and call for more potent fumigation. This disperses chemicals across the site’s entirety to attack pests. It may be required periodically if issues persist.
Damage to the Property
Peeling walls, crumbling sheetrock, ripped insulation, frayed wires and compromised foundations are telltale signs of established pest infestations requiring professional fumigation. Once pests damage the structure itself, total site access becomes necessary to eliminate them from deep harborages within walls and framing. It’s also important to ensure no pests remain that could undermine rebuilt elements.
Health Issues Emerge
Allergies, asthmatic symptoms, and illnesses potentially linked to pests indicate a professional fumigation should be done if self-treatment fails. Diseases carried by rats and respiratory problems provoked by roaches spread rapidly amid established populations. Getting the infestation fully eradicated is key to preventing further health issues. Fumigants sterilise pathogens, deodorise and promote air quality.
Bottom Line
The unmanaged infestations only amplify over time if insufficient action is taken. So being attentive to spreading issues and recognizing when to call a professional fumigation company will help safeguard your property long-term. Don’t hesitate to enlist their pest elimination expertise before matters progress beyond control.
