Choose Natural Pest Control to Avoid Dangers of Synthetic Pesticides
If you are facing a pernicious pest problem, you may be wondering if you should choose a natural pest control method, or if a strong synthetic pesticide is the best solution. Synthetic pesticides are a widely-used choice; the Huffington Post reports: “According to the EPA, an estimated 45-million pounds of pesticides are used annually in homes and gardens in the United States, with sales totaling more than $2 billion annually.” If chemical pesticides are so widely used, how harmful can they be?
The answer is, very. The Huffington Post article continues:
The Center of Disease Control (CDC) reports that 90 percent of us here in the U.S. have a mixture of up to 43 pesticides in our bodies. Many of these chemicals have been linked to health problems such as cancer, birth defects, reproductive health problems and neurological problems.
Do you have children at home? If so, you should be even more concerned about the risks of chemical pesticides, and seek out a natural pest control method instead; since their bodies are still growing, children are more vulnerable to harm from pesticides. John Wargo, director of the Yale Center for Children’s Environmental Health, has said, “More than ninety percent of pesticides and their inert ingredients are never tested for their effects on developing nervous systems. Children are more affected by exposure to such chemicals because they are smaller and their organs are not mature.”
Natural Pest Control: A Safer and Effective Choice
Choose a proven natural pest control method to protect your home from pests, and your loved ones from the risks of synthetic pesticides. Cedar oil has been shown to be highly effective in repelling arthropods like ants, and in killing ticks. One study, published in the journal Environmental Entomology, found that cedarwood oil extract killed 100% of black-legged tick nymphs at the highest dosage.
At Kinder Spray, we use organic cedar oil spray instead of synthetic pesticides because it is a safe, natural pest control method that is highly effective. Read this review from a satisfied customer, and contact us today to make an appointment for a FREE consultation!
I live in Norton Ma in a heavily wooded area. My family would have to be inside by dusk due to the unbelievable amount of mosquitoes. I had tried different types of sprays and candles without any luck. I spoke to Jeff (owner) and after a pleasant conversation and explanation of their products we entered into an agreement to try his services for a season…(2015) I must say, I am pleasantly surprised by the results. As the summer comes to an end my family has enjoyed the outdoors without any mosquito bites. We have sat out late into the evening swimming or at the fire-pit and still nothing!! It has been a great season with Kinder spray!!! If you’re thinking of trying this product / company I would recommend it! You will not go wrong! – John Shea, Norton MA
