Pest Control vs. Animal Control: What’s the Difference?
Pest control seems to encapsulate quite a bit of critters, while animal control sounds a bit more limited. The fact is, they are actually quite different, and offer services that differ dramatically. Both are in the business of helping people who are concerned with pests or wildlife, but licensing limits what each can do.
Wildlife/Animal Control
Animal control might be considered something similar to a shelter or humane society. When it comes to domestic animals, you would want to give animal control a call. They can come and pick up puppies if your dog has a litter, or they can also come pick up lost pets like a dog who has wandered off down the street.
Animal or wildlife control might also deal with non-domesticated animals that are in harm's way or causing some sort of trouble in your neighborhood. Their job is usually to relocate whatever wildlife they are called in for.
Pest Control
Pest control methods are much different than animal control methods. That’s because when people are looking for pest control, they are typically looking for an exterminator. Typically, we are working with you to get rid of an infestation of sorts. We deal with many insect infestations such as ants, bees, wasps, and termites. We also can help take care of some small rodent infestations like rats and mice.
While we are often called once people notice an infestation or have sustained some sort of damage to their home or property, we also work hard to minimize the threat of future pests. Our goal is to make your home a place where you feel free and safe from the harm that different pests can bring. We offer preventative measures and quarterly visits to keep your home running smoothly.
In the end…
