I have always done my own pest control without problems. Have lived in FL for over 30 years (1 year in Villages). I also sold chemicals to some companies that treat houses - so I know they do not use anything more powerful than what you can buy in Home Depot or Lowe's - and you know you didn't water it down to save money.

I fertilize my lawn 3 times a year and pest spray inside and out around the same time, so I do not forget. The pesticide says once a year, but I do three.

The salespeople for the pest control companies here in TV are very good, and make good comissions scaring everyone from doing it themselves. You can put their comissions in your own pocket and feel safe about what treatment was actually done.
