How we do pest control safely

Nature's Safeway uses safe tactics to control pests in and around your house.

Our philosophy is: Less is better.

With an understanding of the species of pest - where it likes to go, how it moves, what it likes to eat, and how it communicates with its colony, for example - our treatments can be very specific.

Pests don't want to venture out into the open if they can help it - so why spray excessively in these areas? Bugs prefer to go under or into something -- and we know how to find those cracks and crevices!

Pesticide Dangers

Some pesticides can cause immediate health problems if you accidentally breathe them in, get them on your skin, or eat them. These acute effects can aggravate pre-existing allergies or asthma, and can result in rashes, difficulty breathing, or even coma.

Some pesticide exposures are also linked to serious problems which may not develop for weeks, months or even years. 

These can include:

And other pesticide threats are just now coming to light. Scientists, for example, have just begun to study the effects pesticides can have on hormones (known as "endocrine disruption").

What are pesticides?

Pesticides are chemical poisons designed to kill or repel different kinds of pests. For example:

Pesticides are sold in many different forms, including weed-killing sprays, aerosol bug sprays, flea "bombs", powders and collars, shampoos for head lice, and insect-repelling lotions.

Are pesticides safe?

Some are but not all.

It is easy to assume that a pesticide sold in your local supermarket or hardware store must be fairly harmless. But this isn't the case.

It is actually illegal to advertise any pesticide as safe - even if used as directed. Pesticides are specifically designed to poison living creatures, ones whose basic biology is often strikingly similar to our own. 

This puts people at risk as well as pests.

Pesticides known to cause cancer - or suspected to cause birth defects - are still sold and used in the USA. Unfortunately, pesticide labels fail to warn parents of potential risks the way that cigarette packs or beer bottles now do.
