Does Your Pest Control Expert Use Environmentally Safe Pest Control Techniques? Nowadays, pest control professionals use pesticides, insecticides and rodenticides, among other chemicals, to eliminate pests. But the abuse and overuse of these chemicals can lead to health issues that outweigh the benefits of their use. Keep in mind that these chemicals contain toxins, pollutants and contaminants that adversely affect the human body when it is exposed for too long or too often. Many of these chemicals have even been proven to be carcinogenic! With that in mind, you should always check before you hire a pest control expert – do they use environmentally safe pest control techniques? You want to significantly lessen, if not entirely avoid, the introduction of potentially harmful chemicals used in pest control into your home! Tip: Ask for the products to be used and the processes to be applied during the pest control procedures. Then check online for the safety and toxicity levels of the products and processes so that smart assessments can be made about these aspects of the program. You will then be able to discuss alternatives with the pest control professional.
