Is Pest Control Safe For Kids And Pets?
Eco-Friendly Pest Control Safe For Your Home If
you're a parent (or parent), your children's
safety is probably your number one priority. We
all know that pest control can be invasive for
your home, but is it also dangerous for your
loved ones? The answer to this depends on your
choice of pest control methods. Professional
pest control is much safer than DIY methods such
as using DE (diatomaceous earth), vinegar, or
bleach. Although DIY methods are often touted as
being healthier and less harsh, the truth is
that they are often ineffective and are prone to
introducing lung irritants into your living
space. Meanwhile, reputable professionals know
how to use minimal amounts of chemicals to
attack pests safely.
Do-it-yourself pest control is NOT safe pest
control Parents are often so busy that instead of
acting proactively to reduce pest populations,
they end up having to react to a problem that
has already gotten out of hand, resulting in acts
of desperation. While we understand that parents
try to find the quickest and easiest pest
control solution to get rid of the problem,
protect their children and move on with their
lives, it often leads them to make dangerous
decisions that affect the whole family. .

Common (and troublesome) DIY methods Diatomaceous
earth is one of the most cited methods for
getting rid of parasites naturally. This dust is
made up of extremely small and sharp pieces of
fossilized ocean creatures that work by blocking
or damaging the mucous membranes and airways of
tiny insects, slowly killing them. For the same
reason that this powder is an effective insect
killer, it can also be dangerous for anyone with
weak or weakened lungs, such as young children,
the elderly, and asthmatics. DE is also
dangerous if you have curious pets that stick
their noses in anything! Vinegar and bleach are
two other common DIY methods, although they also
pose potential health risks. Vinegar and bleach
can volatilize into the air, and both contain
compounds that can burn your lungs. This may not
seem like much to a healthy adult, but these
compounds are particularly harmful to the
sensitive populations mentioned above. Pest
control products that you buy without a
prescription are often advertised as more
effective than DIY methods. However, they are
still very ineffective compared to professional
green pest control. Unless you know exactly what
type of pest you're dealing with, you'll likely
choose a broad-spectrum pesticide that contains a
much higher level of harmful chemicals than you
need. Environmentally-friendly pest control by
trained professionals targets the right pests,
resulting in the use of fewer chemicals
overall. The safe pest control option for your
family In light of probar su suerte con los
métodos de bricolaje que ha leído en Internet,
aproveche el conocimiento y la expériencia de un
profesional de plagas que utiliza métodos de

y que son mucho más seguros para usted y his
family. Pest control experts, like the
technicians here at Home Pest Control, have
studied the habits and life cycles of pests
specific to the areas they serve, allowing them
to attack pests with the right chemicals while
leaving them untouched most of your home and
property. .
Simple Solutions For A Healthy, Pest-Free
Home Keeping your home crumb-free when you have
kids, pets, and a busy schedule can be tough.
That said, keeping your home tidy can help keep
pests away. Here are some other pest prevention
measures to reduce your chances of dealing with
an infestation Don't allow standing water
sources on your property! Make sure all your
gardening tools are well covered. If you don't
have room inside for large items like
wheelbarrows, keep them upside down so they
don't collect water.

Seal all cracks in windows and screens to prevent
pests from easily gaining access to your living
space. Store food in airtight containers and
don't leave overripe fruit on the counter before
transferring it to the refrigerator. During the
hot summer months, you can end up with a pest
problem no matter what preventative measures you
take. Trying to get rid of a pest problem without
help will be frustrating and probably
ineffective. Save time and money by hiring a pest
control professional instead of fixing the
problem yourself.
