What is the difference between traditional pest control and Pest Guard’s pest prevention?

Tradition pest control relies on the exterminator applying pesticides throughout the home whether needed or not. This is based on the application of pesticides where pest may possible go. Pest Guard uses a two step program, first we will treat specific areas outside the home where the pest tend to live and breed. Then we will treat a broader area around your home to make an invisible boundary. We will only treat inside the home if there is a problem area, and then only that area. This type of pest control program is more effective that a traditional pest control program and also makes more sense.
