Our Review

DoMyOwn is an online retailer of pest control products. They do offer a subscription-based service for pest control – but they only offer products that can be used outdoors. DoMyOwn has a 90-day, no hassle return policy. If you’re looking for spot treatment inside, DoMyOwn is not a good choice. The products are commercial-strength and need to be applied with great care, since they are often high-risk pesticides. DoMyOwn is a good option if you’re looking for a wide variety of pest control methods at a much lower cost than professional services.

DoMyOwn Customer Support and Reviews

If you need help, you can contact DoMyOwn through its online chat option on the website. You can also call the customer service team Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm ET or submit a request through the contact form on the website. DoMyOwn also has a 90-day, no hassle return policy.

DoMyOwn has subscription-based services for its popular Pest Box. But you can also buy individual items from their website on an as-needed basis. The website contains a plethora of information on lawn care, pests treatments, questions they receive from customers and answers to them, and product label information, so you can know before you purchase.

As an extra convenience, many DoMyOwn products are available at big box retailers like Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart.

DoMyOwn reviews online vary. Some are extremely pleased with the service and products, while others have complaints about customer service. You will see negative reviews from people who didn’t receive their products on time, had billing issues or the products didn’t work as intended. The company is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau and has an F rating with the consumer organization.

DoMyOwn Company Background

DoMyOwn has been around since 2004. It was founded by two brothers – Philip and Michael Gossling – in Georgia. The Gossling brothers wanted to provide families with a cost-effective solution to lawn care and pest control.

What Kind of Pesticide Does DoMyOwn Use?

If you choose the Pest Box, DoMyOwn customizes your products based on the size of your property and the area of the country you live in. Most of the products have beta-cyfluthrin, imidacloprid, indoxacarb, or lambda-cyhalothrin as the active ingredients. These ingredients are typically found in professional grade pest control products and should be applied with great care.

Can You Use DoMyOwn Inside Your Home?

The pesticide contained in the Pest Box is intended for use outside around the perimeter of your home. DoMyOwn does offer specific products that can be purchased individually for use inside your home.

How Long Does DoMyOwn Last?

All DoMyOwn products will have to be reapplied, but how often you reapply depends on what you order. You can choose whether to receive your Pest Box every four, six or eight weeks. DoMyOwn recommends every four weeks to ensure the protective barrier around your home stays intact.

Other individual products have various ranges of how often they must be applied. Some of them may require you to use them every couple of weeks, while others may last up to six months.

Who Are DoMyOwn’s Competitors?

To some degree, DoMyOwn is a competitor of professional pest control companies. But their biggest competition is Sunday and Pestie – both are subscription-based, do-it-yourself pest control companies. Although, big box retailers could be considered competition for DoMyOwn, since some of their products are sold in those stores.

How Much Does DoMyOwn Cost?

DoMyOwn products range in cost depending on what type and size you choose:

• Pest Box – starts at $9.98/month
• General Pest Control Kit – $64.98
• Insecticide Granules – ranges between $13 and $135 depending on product
• Insecticide Liquids – ranges between $13 and $320 depending on product
• Insect Growth Regulators – ranges between $16 and $360 depending on product
• Bug Spray Aerosols – ranges between $18 and $175 depending on product
• Insect & Bug Foggers – ranges between $85 and $210 depending on product
• Thermal Foggers – ranges between $33 and $250 depending on product 

DoMyOwn vs. Professional Exterminators

DoMyOwn uses professional grade pesticide similar to what a professional exterminator would use. It’s a cheaper option, since you are the technician and the products are shipped to your home. The company’s products treat a wide range of bugs, and unlike some other DIY options – DoMyOwn offers treatments for bed bugs and termites.

The company offers treatments for large pest problems and infestations – although their general Pest Box is just for routine and preventative maintenance. While DoMyOwn offers customer support, it may be difficult for customers, since they aren’t trained pest control professionals.

How Do You Apply DoMyOwn?

The Pest Box from DoMyOwn will need to be applied with a backpack or hand sprayer. You’ll have to buy that item separately – since it isn’t included in the box. 

How Long Does DoMyOwn Take to Dry?

DoMyOwn doesn’t give an estimate of how long it takes for its pest control products to dry. But most pest control services recommend giving the spray between two and four hours. The ingredients are professional grade, so you’ll want to let them dry completely.

How Long Does DoMyOwn Take to Dry?

How long it takes for the product to work, depends on the product you’re using. Some products kill on contact – while others create a barrier to keep pests out and may take up to a couple of weeks to reach their full effectiveness.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a large variety of professional-grade pest control treatments at a much cheaper rate than professional services, DoMyOwn is a strong option. You may find all the choices on their website a bit overwhelming – making it hard to decide exactly the best product for your particular problem. The company does have a subscription-based service, which starts as low as $10 a month – but you won’t receive any products you can use inside.
