YES! You Can Do Your Own Pest Control! Just Ask Us How, Then Do It Yourself and Save Money!!

Jan 03, 2026
Contrary to public opinion, and pest control companies, you absolutely CAN do your own pest control and lawn-n-garden care SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY, and it doesn't put you, your children, pets, or the environment in danger! Well, let me clarify that statement. If you purchase the professional-strength products from us, follow our in-detail, step-by-step instructions, and of course, always read and follow the manufacturers label, that is.

You see, we used to be in the professional, pest control service industry, and ARE State Certified Pest Control Operators. Which means we have many years of practical experience, and decided that we were over the "doing" part and switched to the "teaching" part, so we could help so many more people rid their home, yard and pets of pests. There are only so many hours in a day, and that switch allows us to help thousands, of homeowners and businesses every single month without having all the added expenses of: Trucks, Fuel, Uniforms, Huge Insurance Premiums, Chemical Cost, Equipment Cost, Payroll Costs... which means YOU don't have to pay for all those extra expenses that drive the prices way up, so you save money.

It also means that you don't have to allow strangers in your home or arrange your schedule around their available times for service. If you are the do-it-yourself type, as so many are, it's a win/win all the way around! You'll find that in many cases, you actually get even better results because it's YOUR HOME, and you can take more care (and time) to do the treatment because you don't have to worry about being at the next appointment on time, causing a rushed treatment, which may result in yet another appointment for them to come back because the job wasn't done right the first time.

The only type of pest control services you cannot do yourself are those that require the use of "Restricted Use Pesticides" which are deadly, and only available to sale to Certified PCO's and Licensed Companies. And example of this would be a Drywood or Formosan Termite fumigation where the building/home has to be wrapped in a tent, and the gasses require specialty equipment to apply (heat exchange units). Trust us, you don't want to be on the roof wrapping the tent anyway. Leave this job for the pros.

So consider this. You can use the same professional-strength, "General Use" pesticides as the pros, do it at your convenience, have the complete, detailed instructions for a SAFE application, and save a ton of money in the process. If you'd like more information, please reach out by email, phone or messenger chat on social media, or better yet, stop by in person.

Whether you are dealing with ants, spiders, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, roaches, mice/rats, on the inside, or need to treat the lawn for fleas and ticks, chinch bugs, sod webworms, or even get rid of the weeds and apply fertilizer it to make it green and lush, we've got you covered.

Not sure what the bug is? No problem. Just bring us in a sample on some clear scotch tape, or in a jar or baggie, and we'll not only identify the pest, we'll prescribe the plan to get rid of the infestation, with detailed instructions and then advise you on how to keep everything under control thereafter.

If it's a problem with the plants in your landscape, you can bring us some of the damaged leaves, and we'll identify the culprit and show you what to look for in the future. If it's lawn care you need help with, just bring us a sample about the size of a shoe box that includes an area that is damaged where it borders grass that is still healthy, and about 3-4" of soil. You can dig a shovel scoop full, and then put it back to be treated once you are ready to do the job.

We carry a full line of professional-strength products and the proper equipment to apply them with. These are not your standard department store products. These are the SAME products the professional exterminators use. We just teach you how to use them so you get SAFE and EFFECTIVE results at a fraction of the cost.

You can count on the professionals at Pest Control General Store for ALL your home, pet, and lawn-n-garden needs when it comes to living bug-free and having a beautiful lawn and landscape.
