BTW, there are PLENTY of NATURAL Pest Control remedies out there that don't "poison" the environment.

There are plenty of natural pest control items out there but pest control companies don't use them!

Most residents here have "assumed" they need a pest control service because their friends or neighbors have one. They've never not had a service.

Why would you continually treat your lawn for chinch bugs if you don't have them? There is no natural remedy for chich bugs, only insecticies of one type or another.

Why would you continually use something for ants or roaches when you don't have any, or do you consider one or two an infestation???

If you live in Florida you will always have an occasional bug here and there; it comes with the territory, so to speak.
If you are invaded, then perhaps the problem is not because it's Florida but because of something the home's owner is doing . . . . or not doing!
