Pest control has rarely been associated with eco practices, however, environmentally conscious pest control has been growing in popularity ever since the dawn of the new “green” movements, pointing out the impacts that various chemicals have on the environment, as well as on human health.
Many people don’t know this, but these threats are actually real, and as a result, not only is green and eco-conscious pest control a necessity in this day and age, but some building certifications also demand that the practices used for getting rid of rats, termites, ants and other pests, meet higher standards for healthier living and work environments.
Growing Concerns for Individual Health Threats
Farms are the largest users of pesticide worldwide, a recent study has shown that home and garden use is a close to second place, and this is of concern. This means, however, that the potentially harmful effects of low-cost, unreliable and possibly dangerous pest control products, as well as the ones associated with employing traditional pest control services, are far more pronounced than most people think. This is especially true, even if you yourself don’t use low quality pesticide, your neighbours might. Children and individuals suffering from various health conditions, or who have a less resilient immune system, can easily be affected by products such as garden pesticides, bug sprays and more powerful products used for eliminating cockroaches, beetles or other harmful insects – both inside and outside your home.
Did you know?
Studies have shown that many chemicals used in common pesticides have been linked to a variety of health hazards such as disabilities, nervous system disease, problems with reproductive organs, asthma, and many different types of cancer? These chemicals that are sprayed in and around your home can linger in the air and on surfaces making it very easy to be spread to other places that you don’t even realize. These chemicals can get on your children or pets while they are playing outside and can easily be brought into your home, in your kitchen around your food, and many other places you probably don’t want.
Why should I use Organic and IPM methods?
Not only will choosing to go green help maintain a safe environment for you and your family; it will also help keep your home bug free! All organic products are made up of strictly natural ingredients such as rosemary or lemon grass. Natural pest control solutions are eco conscious and proven to be safe for you, your children and even your pets! They are successful in killing your bugs and they are proven to be less damaging to the environment than chemical pest controls. Green options aren’t just relegated to sprays, there are several mechanical pest control options to choose from such as sealing up cracks and gaps and repairing damaged areas of your home. While synthetics are still used in IPM methods, the products used have been extensively tested and have extremely low toxicity levels and what’s more is that IPM practitioners do their best to only use the necessary amount of product to rid home owners of any pests.
Does Organic really work?
There are several plants and herbs (extracts of plants&herbs) like chrysanthemum, peppermint, rosemary and thymethat naturally repel certain bugs. Studies have shown that insects are known to develop a resistance to chemical pesticides after a period of time but organic pest control is effective and continues to be so long after it has been introduced to the environment. In some cases, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to use a stronger product to fully get rid of the problem. The idea is not to eliminate, but to do all that you can to limit the amount chemicals that you are exposing you and your family toxicants.
