3 Reasons Why DIY Stands For Doesn’t Make Sense

DIY pest control

Time, Poisons, and the Environment

We freely admit it’s possible to never use a pest control service or an exterminator and live bug-free. However, there are quite a few reasons why you really should choose to use a pest control service. First off, why do most people choose over-the-counter pest solutions? Usually, the answer to that question is money. Also, people think they can save time. It’s easy enough to grab a can of Bengal or Raid at H-E-B or some roach bait boxes at CVS. However, your best value may end up being contracting a pest control company like us, but why?

1) Time
Spraying some spray when you see a roach or dropping some ant bait boxes is quick and easy. However, in order to really get the full benefit of most over-the-counter pest sprays, you have to spray frequently.

In theory, they are effective for up to 6 months. However, the real-life of a spray is about 2 weeks or so. Normally, people spray the stuff on their counters or window sills.

Problem is, you wipe your counters. Or maybe I should say, you should wipe your counters to keep them clean.

You also need to use the right chemicals. So you can’t just spray one spray. You’ll need baits, dust, etc and it takes time to read the directions (please do) and place the chemicals outright. Every two weeks. More often if you really clean your house thoroughly. So, you can see how giving us a call and having us treat your house is actually a time-saver in the long run.

2) Proper Use Of Chemicals
Another thing to consider is the proper use of chemicals. As we mentioned above, the life of over-the-counter chemicals is small compared to the professional-grade treatments we use.

Frankly, this is for safety’s sake. People rarely use grocery store bug sprays properly, so giving civilians our grade of treatments would be dangerous. Different surfaces and pests require different chemicals.

Using the wrong application is worse than doing nothing at all since you’re just spreading poison everywhere. That’s not healthy. Not all bugs are genuinely pests. Sometimes, you need to make sure you allow some critters to live while others present a real danger.

Our Pest Service can help you realize which are which. We are experts in knowing which chemicals to use and the right places and times to use them.

3) Better For The Environment

This comes back to the minimum use of the right chemicals, at the right place, and at the right time. The fewer chemicals we spray around, the better. The DYI approach does have you spraying frequently and more randomly than really should be done.

So given the value of your time, and using the proper chemicals in the right place and the right time, you can see why calling us is a good idea. Give us a call today!

Where do I start? Immediately following the accident:

Seek medical attention. Contact your family doctor or, if you don’t have one, go to a walk-in clinic or hospital to have your injuries assessed. Follow their treatment recommendations, including any necessary medications, follow-up visits, or treatment by specialists or physiotherapists.
Take pictures of your injuries as soon as possible and document their progression and/or effects. You should also take pictures of the scene of the accident including, for example, the area where you slipped, the cars involved in a collision, the faulty equipment that caused the injury, and so on.

Personal Injury

Promptly notify your work and their disability insurance company if you are unable to return to work.
Keep any relevant items from the accident, including faulty equipment or products or the shoes you were wearing during a slip. Take pictures of these items (such as the tread on the shoes or boots) and do not use them anymore.
Make a list of the names and contact information of any witnesses or other relevant parties, employees that were present, people that assisted you or anyone else who may have information about the events.
Otherwise, please contact us immediately to have your claim reviewed by a personal injury lawyer to assess your case and ensure that no important steps or information have been missed.

Are there time limitations?

In general, a claimant has 2 years to from the date of the accident to bring a claim against the responsible party or parties. It is best to act quickly following an accident, especially while details are still fresh and can be documented more easily.

Speak with your injury attorney promptly to have your case assessed. Even if it has been more than two years, you may still be able to sue for pain and suffering but this should be discussed with your lawyer immediately.

What can I sue for?
Here are some of the various damages you can sue for in a personal injury claim:

You should also note that you may have a claim against the responsible party for medical expenses provided to you as a result of your injury.

How much is my claim worth?
There are several factors that can influence the value of a claim, so it is difficult to provide an amount without reviewing it first. Factors such as the cause of the injury, the extent and nature of your injury, as well as the impact it has on your daily life, and your ability to work must all be considered.

Once all the relevant information and medical files have been reviewed, a personal injury lawyer will be better able to assess the value of your claim. This is done by reviewing similar cases, and the settlements reached or decisions made by courts, as well as the extensive case law available.

How long will it take to get a settlement and will there be a trial?
Although a claim can settle at any point, there are a number of considerations before a settlement is likely to be reached. Properly assessing the extent of your injuries and the impact they have on your current and future life and your ability to work can take time. This is to ensure the full impact of the injury can be documented in order to maximize the settlement value.

This process will often take between 12 and 18 months and will allow your personal injury attorney to properly assess your situation and your claim. Your lawyer will work with you to establish settlement instructions and will consult with you before any settlement offers are made or accepted.

Although it can take up to 4 years for a personal injury case to proceed to court and receive a verdict, as much as 98% of cases reach a settlement before ever going to trial. In most cases, the matter is settled via direct negotiations with the defendant’s lawyer or through private mediation. This is when a lawyer and a representative of the insurance company attempt to reach a settlement with the claimant’s lawyer with the assistance of a private mediator.

Although every personal injury case is different, the full effect and extent of your injuries must be known in order to reach a fair settlement, so it can take between 2 or 3 years on average to reach a settlement. After reviewing your file, your lawyer should be able to provide you with a clearer estimate of the expected progression of your case.

What are a personal injury lawyer’s fees?
You will never have to pay any fees until a settlement is reached. These fees are calculated based on a contingency arrangement, meaning you would pay a percentage of the settlement you receive.

At your first meeting with your injury lawyer, you will be provided with a full overview of the fee arrangement as well as a written fee agreement so you will know exactly what you would be paying if and when a settlement is reached.

“You Just Discovered A Guaranteed, Proven Way To Beat Your Speeding Ticket.”

If you already have a ticket, read this and learn how to beat your speeding ticket using 100% legal methods.

For a Texas speeding ticket:

Before you read any further, it’s important to know that my company, is a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau. Beware of any internet site wanting to sell you anything that is not a member. It may not be safe to do business with them.

The Court Wants Your Money! Don’t Just Hand It Over.

Did you get your speeding ticket because you were driving recklessly and endangering others? Probably not. More likely you were simply the victim of another municipality that is trying to shore up their budget on the backs of drivers. Cars are far safer than they were 20 years ago – but speed limits remain artificially low because of the financial windfall they provide. Estimates are that over 115,000 speeding tickets are written every day in the United States! You are stuck in a revenue-grabbing machine that is much more interested in your wallet than whether you were being reckless and unsafe. More on this website

“Thanks for showing me a successful strategy”

I downloaded your system as a last resort to try and beat my speeding ticket. I was extremely skeptical and so were most of my co-workers. But as I began to read the information that you have put together, the ambush strategy seemed to make a lot of sense to me. My day in court came and as a lot of other happy customers can claim I got a not guilty or case dismissed. The officer could not produce the calibration paperwork and I won. Thanks again for your help!

No problem you can use my story. On the day I had my trial there were about 150 other people there. For whatever reason, I was the very last person to present my case. If I had gone earlier in the session I would say 90% of the other people there if they had paid attention would have been able to get out of their tickets as well. Only one officer out of about 25 had all the paperwork with him. I would have to say that is pretty good odds. Thanks for showing me a successful strategy.

Got a ticket? You have two choices:

1. Don’t fight and give them your money.
2. Fight your speeding ticket to keep your money.

If you decide to fight you have 3 choices:

1. Hire a lawyer.
2. Don’t prepare yourself and go to court – as most people do.
3. Prepare yourself with the proper methods to fight and win in court. If you have lots of money, you can hire a good speeding ticket lawyer. If you can find one. If you don’t prepare yourself properly with a proven legal strategy, you will waste hours in court and pay the fine anyway. That makes choice number 3 the logical one. Prepare yourself properly and fight your speeding ticket in court.

Following the “Case Dismissed” strategy is the best way to prepare yourself. First, understand this: You have to play by their rules. You have zero choices in this matter.If you don’t understand how to play by the rules, you lose. The process will be over in a few minutes and you will be found guilty and lose your money. Your guilt or innocence typically does not matter to the court. Unfortunately, thousands of people are convicted every single day because they don’t understand the rules. Whether you were speeding, or how fast you were really going, or what the exact situation was, typically does not matter. In fact, they usually will not even come up in a trial if the prosecutor and judge can help it. That makes things faster for them.

Justice? Well – they try a lot harder for that on cases that are more important to them than lowly speeding tickets. Sure, you have reasons or a valid excuse. But… Who do you think the judge will believe? You or the police officer? In fact, the entire system is rigged by legal rules of evidence, case law precedent, and arcane statutes. If you think the judge will sit there and listen intently while you tell a long story, you are sadly mistaken. The lawyers and courts have conspired to set up an intricate web of technicalities and rules of law that make it faster and easier for them to convict you. And they make it harder for the unprepared person to fight. Their entire strategy is based on this fact. Luckily, these technicalities are exactly what the “Case Dismissed” system exploits to help you beat your speeding ticket. You don’t win with excuses. You don’t win with denials. You don’t win by accusing the police officer of lying or making a mistake.
You win by using legal strategies and technicalities to beat them at their own game.
