    Thanks MTR, its good idea to order online :)

    I am also thinking to get a couple of quotes. if there is no huge difference between the quote and DIY expenses, I might go with the pest controller.

    There are so many products
    It all depends on the location, actual problem and proximity to waterways
    The cost, application and effectiveness of each varies greatly
