While we are prohibited from saying that any material used in the pest control industry is safe, regardless of how low its toxicity is, we can say that we feel that the health and welfare of our customers, and our employees is the most important issue we deal with on a daily basis. There are a variety of control materials, philosophies, and treatment procedures available in the pest control industry, some commercially available and effective pesticides we make use of are less acutely toxic than many of the 'over the counter' household cleansers, some are less toxic than naturally occurring elements in the foods and liquids we consume on a daily basis. There area a number of ways that the average person can show their concern for the environment. Electric lawn mowers emit less air pollution than gas mowers and newer models are quite effective on the average size lawn. Every day you can work at home or commute via carpool or bus helps.
Cars create an incredible amount of pollution.
Buy fewer clothes needing professional dry cleaning and the solvents they use. Have your pest control done by a trained professional - this will make sure that it is mixed and applied properly, with less waste. Professionally available pesticides are typically less toxic than over the counter pesticides, are less likely to runoff with the rain, and can be applied at longer intervals reducing the over-all amount needed.
