Is pest control something that is easy for a homeowner to take care of rather than paying someone to do it for you?
I can assure you of one thing. If you get "German cockroaches" into your home you will pay to get them out. They are tiny, short, very fast cockroaches and they are almost impossible to get rid of by yourself. I never bring boxes either empty or full inside. They nest in the cardboard and are a pain to get rid of. It took several treatments by Dean's and the roaches are so bad they have a treatment specialist for them. The home was only a year or so old and they got into our kitchen counter and nested.
