Traditional or Alternative Pest Control Treatment? Choosing the Right Solution for Your Home

At a time when going “green” is growing in popularity alongside increasing concerns about the environment, there is one industry that is hardly ever thought of as eco-friendly: pest control.

But it’s possible to protect your home and the environment without letting those pesky pests share your space. It’s true that termites, rodents, roaches, bedbugs and other pests need to be dealt with quickly before they cause structural damage to your home or cause health issues, but a “by any means necessary” approach is no longer the only option.

Now there are new choices in the pest control industry that are equally as effective as chemical pest control methods but less destructive to the environment and your family’s health.

Traditional & Alternative Pest Control

Traditional pest control has been the norm in effective pest control for well over 60 years. With this method, synthetic chemicals are used to eliminate and control pest populations. However, chemical treatment requires the family to leave the home to avoid exposure to the pesticides.

Today, homeowners have new choices: alternative pest control methods that offer a reduced environmental impact while also being less toxic to their family’s health. These family- and environmentally-friendly solutions include heat, an electro-gun, borates, TAP insulation, and other nonchemical solutions for eliminating pests.
