The Masters of Pest Control Sydney provides proven safe and effective pest spraying services throughout Sydney. We're AEPMA members and fully-licensed and certified pest professionals.
EPA
The easiest way to determine whether a pest control company is eco-friendly is by looking at its certifications and licenses. Check whether the company is certified by Australia's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This organisation is responsible for monitoring, assessment, compliance and regulation of pollution from industrial activities into air, water and land.
OHS certification
Also, look for OHS industry safety certification. This recognition of excellence in occupational health and safety practices within one organisation's workplace.
AEPMA Membership
You should also check whether the pest control company is an Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association member. As Australia's peak body, AEPMA sets forward the highest standards in pest management.
Bottomline
Pest control is necessary to keep our homes from annoying bugs and rodents. However, it's important to remember that some methods, such as chemical spraying, can harm humans and the environment if not used properly.
You don't need to use a ton of pest control products to have a pest-free living space. More isn't always better. Masters Pest Control Sydney provides a solution that requires fewer products while remaining practical. This is why knowing what you need about environmentally friendly pest control will help you make the best pest control decisions for your family.
Even better, we use child and pet friendly, eco-safe pest control. No harsh chemicals will harm your family, pets, or plants.
Chemical Pest Control Sprays
Chemical sprays are one of the most popular methods to eradicate pests from our homes. The advantage of using chemicals is that they can quickly kill off large numbers of insects at once, which makes them highly effective in large-scale pest control operations. But there are also some drawbacks to using chemical sprays.
While we already know that these pest control substances have varying degrees of effectiveness, most of these substances can be harmful to people and the environment. It is critical to understand that pest control companies should only use environmentally-friendly and toxic chemicals on pests and not on other living creatures in the home, including humans.
For example, many chemical pesticides contain toxins that can harm humans if inhaled or ingested in large amounts. Pest control chemicals, particularly boric acid, can cause diseases or even death in humans. Boric acid tastes sweet to humans as well. Leftovers from pest extermination projects can cause illness and death if consumed by children inadvertently.
Additionally, these chemicals can pollute waterways and contaminate soil when misused. Pesticides can seep into bodies of water and contaminate our water supply. Assume there is excessive pesticide content in bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. In that case, it may harm the people who use it and the ecosystems that live within it.
Are There Alternatives to Chemical Sprays?
There are alternatives to chemical sprays that are much safer for the environment. If you work with an eco-friendly pest control provider, you can discuss pest control options that won't harm the environment. Natural pest repellents are one option; these products use plant-based oils such as lemon grass oil or peppermint oil to repel pests without harming the environment or humans.
Non-toxic traps are another alternative; they use bait to lure pests into a container where they can be safely removed from your home without using harsh chemicals. Preventive measures such as sealing up cracks and crevices in your home can go a long way towards preventing pests from entering in the first place.
