Are Exterminators Worth the Expense?

YES once I had a swarm of ladybugs, and they were
everywhere clinging to screens, bricks, siding, glass
anything it was horrid. You really could not see the house, ewwww. I got home and ran to the phonebook called Mr.BugKiller. He said the next day he would be out, I was crying so creeped out. He came out and sprayed and they were ALL GONE! Ohh
just thinking of that makes my skin crawl, it was a new home and we moved 3 months after that. I can
kill a spider or two or take them outside by ladybug
swarm, no way....
so YES worth every penny..

Yes!!! I live in a small town in NewMexico that is infested with cockroaches and other very large bugs. I have my house sprayed once a month and I can now wake up to a bug free house.
My parents live in Southern California and have never had to call an exterminator. I guess it just depends on where you live.

my goodness yes. i lived in florida. you could tell the houses that didnt have exterminators. they were full of spiders and other critters.
we never had the roaches or even fleas. my dog would get fleas but then the house didnt have the problem. we would still call the exermt. guy and he would come and spray and no more fleas.

Where we live there are the ugliest, biggest carpenter ants. I could hear them moving in the walls, it was so gross! I called a professional exterminator as the ants will destroy the wood in a house. For $250 they guaranteed no bugs for a year and it worked. Completely worth the money!

About 8 years ago, someone gave my husband an old computer that unfortunately for us ended up
having cockroaches living inside it. For about $500.00 for a year (I think) Orkin came out and looked everything over and put traps and some stuff
that looked like peanut butter in all the cracks and
they also sprayed outside. We didnt have any more
bugs of ANY kind anymore until we moved out of that house! That money was worth my piece of mind
especially because my kids were a lot smaller then and the youngest was still crawling and playing a lot
on the floor.

Because we are surrounded by feral cats - I had an exterminator every other month to do the yard and we never had a problem with fleas or spiders. It's well worth it if you have a lot of critters.

To head off any insects, spiders or other unpleasantries from even entering your home, be sure to call any professional Pest Exterminator Company and make an appointment once a year to have your house sprayed. They do a great job while they spray near the bottom of all walls inside and they also spray the entire outside of the home as well. It's well worth the money investment for peace of mind that while you sleep you know nothing (insect, spider) is using you as a sidewalk to get from point a to point b.
