Do You Need a Pest Control, Exterminator, or Pest Prevention Company?



Do you need a pest control company? an exterminator company? or a pest prevention company? Most of the time when people hit the internet in search to control ants, roaches, bed bugs, whatever the case may be, what is it they look for on the internet to help them? That is right!, A pest control company. With that being said many homeowners or internet inquiries do not realize the fact why they may come up with a multitude of different spray companies and what the names mean of each. This Blog post is designed to take the confusion out of the pest categories they may find under each company. What is this you are talking about you may have asked yourself?

Well for instance one. You may stumble on majority of the pest industry companies may list themselves as Pest Control companies. Pest Control companies are just as they sound. they are Spray companies that control pests. The may do so in a manner such as applying pesticides in the form of fogs, liquids, dusts etc. This category of pesticide applicator usually comes from a certain dated time era, and employs measures of that time era while "controlling" certain bugs one may see in a home, car, business etc. Pest Control companies can be very effective at "controlling" insects and there are many reputable "pest control" companies out there. But is that what you want? Do you just want to control bugs? Do you just want to just treat symptoms? read on and lets find out!

How about an Exterminator? Now that's one we have all heard of before. Do we want to employ and exterminator to "exterminate" your bugs that may be around? Boy, that sounds harsh, but it also sounds like a powerful company that sure will teach those bugs a lesson! Again, a lot of reputable "exterminators" are out there on that internet search ready to walk in your house with a potent cocktail of insecticides. They usually use tactics which may also be sprays, dusts, fogs and liquids but have a tendency to treat in a very chemically invasive way which can cause an abundance of unwanted chemicals around your home. Is this what you want in your food preparation areas? Do you want your loved ones and pets exposed to this method of applying poisons in your home?

How about a Pest Prevention company? Have you heard of a "pest prevention company" before? Well of course you have! after all you are reading a blog post from Imperial Pest Prevention right now aren't you? What is a pest prevention company? Well, lets just say it sounds like what it states. A pest prevention company focuses on keeping those bugs out and "preventing" them from getting in. This pest prevention company looks to educate a homeowner or business owner and provide tips to correct concerns before they can become something bigger. Imperial Pest Prevention focuses on identifying and being observant during your treatment. We follow an integrated pest management approach while doing your pest prevention service. We want to treat target pests all while avoiding the use of unnecessary chemicals and doing so while reducing the risk of killing beneficial life forms that may be around so you dont have to hire an "exterminator" to nuke those bugs or a "pest control company" to handle your now active insect problem. I think we can all see were this is going.


Although the "exterminator", "pest control" company and the "pest prevention" specialist are all out to do the same job, we all do so in different ways. There are many cases we at Imperial Pest Prevention have to wear the hat as the "exterminator" and aggressively treat with a wide array of products to kill German roach infestations, or we are hired to take care of an active infestation which we have to provide a "pest control" service for. I suppose the moral of the story here is to be proactive rather than reactive. "Pest Prevention" is an underrated term to most homeowners. It is true that most of the services that we provide do fall under the "exterminator" and "Pest Control" company category. But it doesn't have to be this way. Treat and protect you family, pets and home in a "preventative" way. Insects can vector diseases, transport bacteria, viruses, pathogens and cause allergies. Is it in your best interest to wait until you have a problem to call a professional?
