As long as people have had homes, they have had pests. Pests can be defined by the homeowner and one person's pet could easily be someone else's pest. However, there are clear definitions in place for determining what constitutes a pest.
Depending on your location, the definitions may differ. Designated pests are generally considered to be those creatures that can damage or destroy your home or harm your health. There are some commonalities such as rats and mice. They are universal.
Pest control is a collection of methods that can deal with the pest conditions that impact your life. It's an old profession. The earliest pest control began when agriculture began and that is about the beginning of civilization. An infestation could wipe out entire crops and people would starve to death. Agriculture has developed ways and means of dealing with plants and animals that affect crops.
The real problem with these annoying creatures, especially in urban areas, is that they often are looking for a warm and cozy place to live and raise their offspring and their choices are limited to houses.
The standard pest population we face in the United States includes termites, cockroaches, mosquitoes and rodents. Cockroaches and mosquitoes can harm your health and your peace of mind. Rodents and termites literally eat your house. Rodents also carry disease. Remember the Bubonic Plague? In the Middle Ages, it killed 450 million people in Europe - about 60 percent of the world population. It was spread by rats.
Let's look at the problem with rodents. Sometimes you can sense their presence but they are sneaky in their self-protection methods and only a close inspection will search out their hiding places.
Pest control is a way to keep these potential killers out of your life. Too many people think that all they have to do is lay a few traps. This is a mistake. Total pest protection goes beyond eliminating these types of pests in your home.
You need knowledge to be able to identify the entry point that your pests use. You need know-how to remove the filth left behind after the rodent classes of pests are gone. We at Pest Control Products know all the tricks and tips involved in catching and removing the pest threat, cleaning up all traces of the infestation, elimination of breeding grounds, and preventing a recurrence of the invasion.

Depending on your location, you might want to set up a pest protection plan to protect your home from being infested, infected, and chewed to destruction.
