The Benefits of Green Pest Control
Eliminating pests in the home can take on many different forms. Sometimes keeping areas clean and free from crumbs and spills isn't enough. Some pest control professionals use substances that are effective at killing bugs but at the expense of homeowners' exposure to harmful or abrasive chemicals.
Green pest control won't leave unpleasant chemical smells or toxic residue. As a result, many homeowners today are requesting the use of green products from their pest control company.
What is green pest control?
Green pest control uses natural ingredients to create safer, less toxic materials to help eliminate problem pests. Many are botanical-based. Green pest control can also focus more on pest prevention than extermination.
The advantages of green pest control
There are several benefits to this method of pest control. They include using less harmful pesticides and targeting a particular pest.
Integrated pest management (IPM)
Integrated pest management focuses more on preventing infestation than treating an existing one. This method doesn't require much use of pesticides (if any). The techniques used are trapping, baiting, and ensuring that these unwelcome invaders have no reason to enter a home or a business. The approach is to apply a more natural way to dissuade them from entering than a deadly one.
