Spiders, bats, and rats – all Halloween decor must-haves for creating the perfect spooky house. However, when these creepy pests make your house their home, thoughts of decorating and buying candy for trick-or-treaters may be the furthest thing from your mind.
As with most pest sightings, your first inclination may be to run to the local hardware store, arming yourself with an arsenal of baits, traps, powders, and sprays. Then, following the standard DIY protocol, blasting the little suckers with all that you’ve got! It may sound like a good idea in theory, but it usually backfires. DIY solutions often exacerbate the problem further, causing pests to scatter and hide.
