While it may cost more to hire an exterminator than trying to treat the problem yourself, a professional is worth hiring if you have a major infestation.

Tree sap is not usually dangerous to humans or pets. But some trees do produce dangerous sap. Notably, ash, birch, cedar and similar saps can irritate the skin but aren’t dangerous.

Always read and follow label instructions carefully. For the safest and most effective results, it’s best to hire a licensed pest control professional.
