Not Your Average Exterminator

  4. Not Your Average Exterminator

We’ve often found ourselves wondering if there was a difference between an exterminator and a pest control technician. The use of exterminator to define the practice of eliminating pests is still the most common. What was once widely seen as a quick fix, extermination has evolved over time and so has the job title. If you seek the literal definition of either term, it’s likely you’ll find that they are so synonymous that they are used to define each other

   

Exterminators of the past were known to kill quickly and kill often. There was a simple satisfaction in seeing dead bugs in the home. It was visual proof of the immediate result that people were seeking. Most of the chemicals used were highly toxic, highly flammable, foul smelling, and unsafe. Today, pest control technicians specialize in extermination services. The materials used are safer, less odorous, and just as effective; the job is the same.

Here at Catseye, we not only provide the extermination of your immediate pest problem, we offer comprehensive long-term plans to keep your home pest free. We do not seek a quick fix. Our goal is not only elimination but complete protection and prevention as well. Our pest control technicians are highly trained in the most efficient, technologically advanced, and safe treatments for your home.  

Whether you call us exterminators or pest control professionals when you contact us we will answer-- eager to provide a solution to your problem.
