Benefits of Eco-Friendly Pest Control For Your Home
Fortunately, Champion Termite & Pest Control only uses products approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in pest extermination services. We focus on eco-friendly and natural pest control techniques that will keep your home pest-free without threatening the health of your pets or family.
Health Benefits
Traditional pest control methods involve heavy use of pesticides, which contain harsh chemicals that target key functions in a pest’s biological function, resulting in spasms, paralysis, and eventually leading to death. These pesticides, however, have also been shown to negatively impact humans. Human exposure to pesticides can result in mild skin irritation, increased risk of cancer, respiratory struggles and more. Similar health risks are present when pets are exposed to such chemicals. Like humans, pets can be exposed to pesticides through breathing affected air, skin contact with treated surfaces, or ingestion. Some animals, such as cats, are more vulnerable to pesticides due to their metabolic makeup.
That is why Champion Termite & Pest Control uses eco-friendly products in our pest extermination services. Termidor, Premise, and Top Choice are the products that we use most often, all of which are engineered to be environmentally friendly and health conscious. It is not necessary to risk your health to achieve a pest-free home when we are able to use EPA-approved, eco-friendly methods of extermination.
Environmental Benefits
Eco-friendly pest control is not just better for the health of you and your family; it’s better for the environment, too! Eco-friendly pest control methods prevent runoff present in traditional methods that can contaminate nearby soil and water sources. These pesticides are toxic to aquatic life such as fish and snails, and can negatively affect predators of these animals, eventually climbing up the food chain to humans.
Pesticides employed by eco-friendly exterminators are also targeted, meaning beneficial wildlife populations present in your yard will be not harmed by our extermination methods. Champion Termite & Pest Control always customize an extermination plan according to the needs of each customer to ensure an effective approach is taken to kill off any pests in your home – and nothing more!
Cost-Effective Nature
Implementing eco-friendly methods of pest control in your home can reduce the cost of pest control in the long run. Over time, household pests can develop a resistance to the harsh chemicals used in traditional pesticides. This makes these treatments ineffective, resulting in the need for repeat application that would be avoided with the use of more environmentally safe pest control methods.
Additionally, eco-friendly methods of pest control tend to be preventative. Through the introduction of beneficial insects and encouragement of native predators, such as ladybugs, birds, or mantises, pest populations can be managed before intervention is even required in the first place. These animals are known for consuming pests before they can repopulate, leaving you with a yard void of pests and filled with beneficial native wildlife species!
