YOUR PEST CONTROL IS
NOW SAFE FOR EVERYONE
These days, more and more homeowners are becoming aware of the dangers of chemical pesticides. They can pose a health risk to you, your family, and pets, and can kill off insects that actually help your plants. Also, they may eventually find their way into our water table, where they can cause even more trouble. There are, however, alternatives to such products that are chemical-free as well as highly effective, and the demand for organic pest control products is on the rise. Organic pest control are also finding the average homeowners more interested in their services.
Here are a few things to think about concerning chemical-free insect control, and descriptions of several common pest control methods that are quickly gaining popularity among the environmentally conscious.
Popular organic pest control methods include:
- Physical – Manually removing bugs or using a hose to spray them off.
- Spray mixture – Spraying non-chemical mixtures that are oil-based or contain diseases that kill certain insects.
- Predators – Populating the area with natural predators to kill harmful insects.
- Organic-rich soil – Developing an organically rich environment to allow plants to thrive by using your own compost pile.
One of the most natural and non-toxic methods of organic pest control is the ability to differentiate between harmful and beneficial bugs. Organic garden pest control implements the use of predator bugs that eat harmful bugs on both large and small plants. The most common bug available is the ladybug, which attacks aphids and other harmful insects but does not hurt crops.
The praying mantis is another beneficial insect protector of crops. Some predator bugs eat the eggs of the parasites so that they cannot grow up to harm the food. Bugs that you want to look out for are grasshoppers and whiteflies, which are the most common, harmful insects that can hamper your food production.
Non-toxic organic pest treatment safeguards animals, plants, humans, and the earth. From the land you can produce high quality food without any effect of toxic pesticides. Reducing impacts from toxins on the water, air, and soil around you is part of a healthy family regimen.
