When we purchased our home a few years ago, our inspector noticed a few signs of rodents/wildlife in small crawl spaces. Not knowing if measures had been taken to treat or solve the problem, we contacted profishant and took advantage of their quarterly service.

The initial inspection and treatment made us feel so confident in our choice. They were thorough in not only addressing our concerns, but inspecting the entire home (both inside and out) to ensure we were rid of pests. We continue to use their proactive quarterly service, which safeguards against 50 household pests, and our home has remained pest-free.

Of course, they address all types of pests — mosquitoes, ants, ticks, termites, mice, and more. Why would you hire a professional rather than tackling the job yourself? Here are my top 5 reasons:

1) Pests are gross and can reproduce quickly. It's blunt but true. Professionals like those at profishant are licensed and trained to not only eradicate existing pests but deter new infestations. Don't risk health hazards or property damage that could happen with an advanced infestation; just let the professionals do their job.

2) The professionals will establish and maintain a sensible routine. With multiple jobs, kids, and dogs, finding time in the schedule can be tough, much less remembering to do occasional tasks like checking or spraying for pests. profishant makes it easy on us: Not only do their quarterly services take care of everything we need, but they call a few days prior to set a time that works best for us. They are so flexible and have great hours so we've never had trouble finding a good time.

3) Professionals can offer comprehensive solutions. Just because you catch ants marching two by two into your house one day doesn't mean you'll catch them the next time. Or catch the next pests. profishant can identify the root cause of the problem and customize a response. Best of all, they have a comprehensive guarantee on all their proactive services.

4) A commercial service might actually use fewer chemicals. Often, commercial chemical products are more targeted and break down more quickly than what you might buy as a consumer in a big box store. Plus, you don't have to worry about storing or disposing of any leftovers safely — the professionals with in-depth training take care of that.

5) A veteran-owned company, profishant makes a donation to Veterans Transition House of New Bedford for every quarterly home protection service they complete. The Veterans Transition House has helped more than 3,000 veterans with transitional and permanent housing, as well as comprehensive support services.

Who knew you could help veterans and ensure a pest-free home at the same time? Whether you have an active pest problem or want to get ahead of the ticks and mosquitoes, give profishant a call today at (888) 776-0444 or visit profishant.com. They offer commercial services, too!
