Pest infestations are a common concern for homeowners and business owners alike.

So, what are the differences between pest control and extermination, and how are you supposed to know whether you need to contact a pest control company or an exterminator?

Your garage serves as a sanctuary for your vehicles, a storage space for tools and equipment, and sometimes even a workshop or recreational area. In short, garages are an extension of your home. Unfortunately, garages also attract pests such as mice, rats, insects, and other frustrating creatures. 



There are very few tasks around your home that can be done once and left alone after. From the never-ending chore of doing laundry to keeping the yard mowed and manicured, the honeydew list never ends. It honestly takes superhuman powers to ensure that everything around the house gets done promptly. 

One task that is often forgotten about but extremely vital to the well-being of your home and your family's health (including your pets) is pest control. Pests don't take a break throughout the year. They may be hiding, but it is likely in the warm, often-forgotten parts of your home.
