Doing pest control yourself or outsource?

If you want to control pests, you have two options. You can choose to call on a real specialist for this, but you could also do it yourself. The latter, however, depends on various factors. Think for example of the balance between the costs that must be made and what you can save, but also the seriousness of the nuisance. In addition, it is important that the core of the problem is tackled, otherwise you run the risk of being having to do it again soon after.

How much does professional pest control cost?

Some specialists offer a subscription for which both entrepreneurs and individuals are eligible. Such subscriptions run on a monthly basis and often include solutions for different types of pest control. Such a subscription costs between 16 and 45 dollar per month.

However, a subscription is not always necessary because you may only need a specialist every once in a while. A good indication of the costs of pest control is as follows:

• Removing silverfish: from $70,- dollar at a time
• Wasp removal: from $60,- dollar per time and per (nest) location
• Removing mice (nests): from $105,- dollar each time
