What to Compare
For an active pest problem, identify the pest and the affected areas before choosing a treatment. Compare what you can safely do using the applicable product instructions with the inspection and work proposed by a pest-control provider. A generic DIY-versus-professional label does not establish which treatment is suitable.

|---|---|---|

| Monitoring | Record activity and reassess whether the selected approach is appropriate | Ask how activity is recorded and how follow-up is handled |
| Project requirements | Check the rules applicable to the actual product and proposed work | Verify the applicable provider credentials and project requirements |
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do before treating an infestation?
Identify the observed pest and affected locations, then check whether the proposed product or service addresses that concern. Request help with identification if needed. Follow the applicable product instructions and ask the provider about preparation and follow-up.
Is DIY termite treatment automatically illegal or effective?
Neither conclusion follows from the DIY label alone. Check the requirements for the exact product and work, and obtain an assessment of the termite concern before deciding on treatment.
How should I compare a service quote with buying products?
Compare the inspection, work scope, supplies, preparation and monitoring involved. Ask the provider what is excluded and what happens if activity continues. Do not compare only the shelf price with the complete service agreement.
