Safety First
Your family and pets' health is more important than anything. We only use certified safe pesticides.
Why Do We Need Safe Pesticides?
Children and pets:
- More sensitive to chemicals
- Closer to floors (greater exposure)
- May touch or swallow pesticides
- Weaker immune systems
Types of Safe Pesticides
1. Natural Pesticides
- Peppermint Oil: Insect repellent, completely safe
- Boric Acid: Effective against cockroaches, low toxicity
- Diatomaceous Earth: Natural powder that kills insects physically
- Neem Oil: Comprehensive plant-based pesticide
2. Biological Pesticides
- Use natural bacteria or fungi
- Target only pests
- Decompose quickly in environment
- Don't harm beneficial organisms
3. Low-Toxicity Pesticides
- Certified by international safety agencies
- Used in very low concentrations
- Quick decomposition
- Short safety period (2-4 hours)
Safe Application Methods
1. Sealed Baits
Placed in closed boxes inaccessible to children or pets.
2. Targeted Spraying
Spray only in remote areas and cracks, not on exposed surfaces.
3. Physical Traps
- Sticky traps
- Light traps
- Safe rodent traps
4. Hot Steam
