Homeowners and businesses see advertising and media commentary everywhere today about Green Pest Control. “Green” pest control implies that only certain types of pest control are environmentally friendly. While it is true that pesticides are chemicals designed to control insects and other pests, it is not accurate to tell consumers that all pesticides are dangerous to humans and pets. Pest control that utilizes pesticide treatments requires the use of legal and modern pesticides in a professionally safe and efficient manner.

Pest management that emphasizes Green Technology with the absence of pesticide treatments often ends up being ineffective and not worth the expense incurred. Pest management that focuses exclusively on non-chemical applications cannot address existing pest infestation and the outcomes that result when an infestation occurs even though exclusionary procedures have been installed. Even the best exclusionary techniques only work to slow down or partially contain infestation of many pests.

Exclusionary procedures are an important part of pest management, and responsible pest control involves containment and prevention of pest infestations as a part of an integrated pest control plan. Your property should be evaluated for any proper exclusion techniques to prevent insect, rodent, or other animal infestations. However, these processes should supplement and support professional experience and the correct use of proper pesticides. These methods are not a replacement of proper pesticide application. 

The use of pesticides by professionals takes into account many different factors. The term “pesticide” can include a wide variety of chemicals used for different purposes. Pesticides can be used to kill, suppress, or repel insects, rodents, and other pests.  

A pest control professional will evaluate which types of pesticides are necessary, depending on the type of pest being controlled and the control method desired. Professionals ensure that pesticides are used in areas that provide proper and adequate ventilation, and that the pesticides are used in a proper way to deal with the pest to be controlled. Your pest control service will also determine which pesticide is proper for your situation. Since every pesticide has a set of protocols for responsible and effective use, professional management will ensure that pesticides are only used on surfaces or plants that the pesticide is designed to appropriately interact with.  

Professional pest control technicians choose the least toxic pesticide to address the pest control issues while protecting human health and the environment. Modern professional pesticide equipment also provides for the proper and effective direct application of pesticides thereby protecting against unintended pesticide exposure outside the intended area.  

The professionals at At East Pest Solutions strive to ensure that the best safety practices are used when dealing with pesticides. Pesticides are not prepared or applied when children or pets are present in the treatment area, and they are only prepared for application in well-ventilated areas. The proper use of equipment and expert preparation avoids spills or unintended applications. When pesticides are professionally applied, you will know that when you re-enter your property you will be protected from any unintended effects of the pesticide.  

The Environmental Protection Agency closely regulates the manufacture and use of pesticides in all residential and commercial environments. The EPA continually evaluates and re-evaluates every pesticide approved for use, and every pesticide is tested for human safety in all anticipated applications. Only after extensive study and testing does the EPA permit use of specific pesticides pursuant to agency guidelines.  

Many pesticides regulated by the EPA contain the same chemical compounds as many household cleansers, detergents, and deodorizers that are commonly and safely used for everyday household purposes. Professional pest control conducted in compliance with scientific standards and governmental regulations is approved for humans and pets and protects families and businesses from the health hazards associated with pest infestations. Ensuring environmental safety and human health are key reasons for homeowners and businesses to consult with a professional pest control company.
