Outdoor pests can wreak havoc on a property. Certain types of insects can strafe gardens, damage trees and shrubbery, or ruin grass. They can find exposed areas in buildings to get inside. In addition, mosquitos and ticks, commonly found in backyards, can cause serious diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, West Nile, Zika and Lyme disease.
Many types of treatments are available to combat various types of insects. Most professionals recommend signing a service contract for treatment areas that are particularly infested because outdoor pest control is a never-ending battle. These contracts are relatively affordable for an average household.
Contract costs
Although most professional outdoor pest control companies will provide a one-time visit, ongoing service is best for keeping pests permanently at bay. Generally, per-visit prices are higher for a single visit than for monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly visits. Many companies offer special rates for contract customers.
