Are Pest Control Treatments Safe for Kids and Pets?

It's the number one concern for parents and pet owners, and rightly so. The good news: modern, professionally applied pest control is very different from the harsh chemicals of decades past.

Eco-friendly products by default

We use targeted, low-toxicity products applied precisely where pests travel — not sprayed indiscriminately around your home. This approach controls pests effectively while keeping exposure to people and pets to a minimum.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Rather than relying on chemicals alone, we follow an Integrated Pest Management approach:

1. Inspect to find the source of the problem
2. Exclude by sealing entry points
3. Treat with the least invasive effective method
4. Monitor to prevent the problem returning

This means less product is needed overall, and treatments last longer.

Simple precautions during a visit

For extra peace of mind, we recommend:

• Keeping children and pets out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry (usually a couple of hours)
• Storing pet food bowls during interior treatments
• Letting us know about fish tanks, reptiles, or sensitive family members in advance

Our technicians are always happy to walk you through exactly what they're applying and why.
