Default Pests

I bit the bullet and learned to do my own. It was not hard. "Do It Yourself Pest Control" has supplies that work. I got some to spray indoors and outdoors around the outside and inside baseboards - safe for me and any pets. I also got some "ant goo" and "ant houses" to put out for those pesky ghost (tiny) ants that come in from time to time. No more pests, and no more $45 every two months to Massey.

A sprayer can be purchased (Amazon, local hardware stores, etc.). Needs doing every six months.

The same sprayer can do weeds, though I had to purchase a terribly strong weed killer to control mine. (Professional grade stuff, bought online) - slightly tricky to make sure breeze doesn't blow it onto plants, however. I use a very big piece of cardboard on a day with no wind. Only needs doing every six months.

I am now saving several hundred dollars a year by doing two things every six months.
