Eco-Friendly Pest Control

WHY YOU SHOULD USE ECO-FRIENDLY PEST CONTROL

You may wonder why it’s important to choose eco-friendly pest control. Are there any advantages to green pest control, and is it just as effective? As an eco-friendly, environmentally conscious company, our experts at 1st Choice Pest Control are here to answer these questions for you and provide you with reliable, effective, green pest control.

At 1st Choice Pest Control, we use a combination of preventive measures and reduced-risk treatment methods known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. We use seasonal data along with professional equipment and products to make sure our customers have the best pest control protection. The goal is to get the job done right the first time.

USING ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

1st Choice Pest Control provides our customers with excellent alternatives to standard rodenticides and insecticides. Our products are safe and effective and eliminate the risk of secondary kill. Our team is passionate about creating innovative programs to keep you and the environment safe.

Rodent Control

Our eco-friendly rodent control programs cover rats, mice, moles, and voles. All of our products are formulated to use only naturally derived ingredients. When used as directed, they are effective for indoor and outdoor rodent control and safe for use around people, pets, livestock, wildlife, and the environment. Our rodent control products are listed as an EPA minimum risk pesticide, and our patented mechanical kill system requires no conventional poisons.

Insect Control

Eco-friendly insect control programs cover a broad spectrum of pest. Our highly effective botanical products are designed for crawling and flying insects. There are no Pyrethroid or Neonicotinoid Use Restrictions so it may be used near and over water such as around boat docks and marshy areas. Our eco-friendly programs are safe for indoor and outdoor applications along with livestock facilities. These products are also excellent for mosquito and tick applications and are much safer for the environment.

Insulation Control

Using eco-friendly materials to insulate your house is safe and presents no harm to your physical welling. Furthermore, eco-friendly insulating materials are fire-resistant or are chemically treated with fire retardants. Aside from being fire-resistant, these materials are safe to use in your house because they do not contain any hazardous materials.

Bed Bug Control

One of the most obvious benefits of eco-friendly bed bug control is fewer environmental risks. These treatments are not only safer for the environment, but for all involved parties. Although we would never recommend it, a family could almost remain in the home, while our eco-friendly pest control treatments are initiated. Of course, this would not work for heat treatment, but it may be for most of our other environmentally friendly strategies.

The Pros & Cons for Natural Pest Control

Pros

Environmental Impact

The most obvious benefit of using natural pest control over the more traditional synthetic treatments is that it’s far better for the environment. Despite being targeted, synthetic treatments will often impact more than just the pests you’re trying to remove. As an example, in the garden, slug pellets have been responsible for more wild bird deaths than just about anything else. In other instances, runoff from chemical treatments can reach local waterways, polluting natural habitats and destroying ecosystems. Natural solutions tend to be more directed, with less potential for unintended harm.

Personal Health

Natural pesticides are safer to use in the home because they pose less of a health threat to you, your children, and your pets. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that Americans now have an average of 43 different pesticides in their bloodstreams. That’s not to say that natural alternatives are “safe” and that precautions shouldn’t be taken, however, they are less toxic in general.

Long-term Effectiveness

One of the major problems with synthetic pest control is that it's been used so widely for so long that many pests have developed a tolerance for them. This means that the more they’re used, the more ineffective they become. This isn’t the case for the natural alternatives. They are sometimes slower to take effect, but in the long term they deliver better results.

Cons

Availability

Perhaps the biggest drawback of natural pest control is that only a small number of professional companies currently offer it making it a difficult service to locate a provider for.

Expertise

Many of the more traditional pesticides are lethal to their targets at the smallest touch. This means that there is less need for expert application. Natural pest control needs to be more comprehensively targeted to be effective. This means that DIY options are currently limited.

Effectiveness - Occasionally

While, in our view, the natural way is always the best way where possible, even we have to admit that there are some occasions when a natural solution just won’t do. We will absolutely never deliberately mislead our customers. If the organic approach isn’t going to work, then we will let you know what all the synthetic options are and help you to choose the best option for your personal situation. There has never been a one-size-fits-all pest control solution. Every home and every scenario is different. We aim to provide the best possible solution for our customers.
