The internet has plenty of pest control advice, and most of it is fine for small, contained issues. The problem is that the symptoms of a small issue and a serious one often look identical from the outside.
As a rule of thumb: if the problem is in a place you can easily see, easily reach, and easily reverse, DIY is reasonable. If any of those three change, it's deeper than you can inspect, it's behind a wall, or the wrong approach could make it worse, that's when a quick consult pays for itself.
