I recently moved to Houston, and it seems like every other week there's another pest control company trying to scare me into buying services from them.
My question is, given the hot/humid area that I live in (Houston, TX), is a monthly/2 preventative service something that is really needed, or should I just spot-treat issues as I see them? I don't mind killing a spider here and there as I run across them, but are there invasive pests that need constant control in this area? If so, is there something I can do myself, or is a pro service worth it? Also, I would prefer to keep any pesticides outside of the house, if that's still going to be effective.
