New Online Resource Helping DC Residents Combat Pests

    WASHINGTON, DC, July 11, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DC Pest Control is excited to announce the launch of a new online resource, www.pestcontrol-dc.com. The site is designed to help Washington, DC homeowners connect with local pest control experts, understand the regional pest threats, and educate themselves on new pest control tips.

What Does the DC Pest Control Website Do?
One of the best features of the new website is DC Pest Control's checklist for evaluating and assessing pest control companies. It covers everything from technician certification and training to customer satisfaction ratings. With its 10-question approach, the checklist helps homeowners choose the best pest control company in the nation's capital.

The site also addresses Integrated Pest Management - or IPM - a holistic and effective approach to pest control. When performed correctly, IPM reduces health risks and environmental impact by combining inspection, identification, and eco-friendly exclusion techniques. Ensuring that a pest control company employs environmentally friendly practices should be a priority for any homeowner.

DC's Most Common Summer Pests
As residents settle into the summer months, DC Pest Control wants to remind regional homeowners about the prevalence of certain pests during this time of year. The most common summer pests in DC are stink bugs, and in fact, one of the largest concentration of stink bugs in the world can be found in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. Stink bugs rarely, if ever, bite humans, but they do release a nauseating chemical odor and can cause significant damage to plants and crops.

Another major summer pest in the region is the dreaded mosquito. Long the bane of summer camps and backyard barbecues, mosquito populations begin to grow steadily once hot, humid weather arrives. Not only do mosquitoes annoy with itchy bites, but they can transmit potentially serious diseases.

Why Choose Professional Pest Control?
Amateur pest control, while often a seemingly simple task, is rarely effective in the long term. Professional exterminators and pest control experts are experienced and knowledgeable enough to not only successfully address the problem on hand, but to also ensure that the pest issue will not recur.

DC Pest Control knows that the best pest control experts in DC get to the root of the problem and completely remove pests from homes, inspect the home's exterior, and seal suspected entry points.

Visit DC Pest Control's new website for all of your pest control needs in the Washington, DC region.
