Different pests like insects, bugs, cockroaches, termites and many more invade your property and cause harm to you and your family. Some notorious pests like termites can severely damage the structure of a house. Hence, it is necessary to find effective ways to address this household problem. The most common method of pest control is use of chemical pesticides. Using these chemicals can be effective up to some extent. However, in the long run they can pose some serious threats to mankind and the food chain. In recent times, the use of safe and poison free pesticides has been on the rise as people have become more aware of safeguarding environment and nature. The organic pesticides are becoming more popular as they make plants and crops healthy and have no side effects.

Unfortunately, the chemicals inside the pesticides are harmful and toxic to humans and animals. The residue found in these chemicals contaminates water, soil and air, thus affecting entire food chain. Human’s health can be seriously affected if they are exposed to it for a long period. According to studies, some serious threats of chemical pesticides are as given below.

  • Parkinson ’s disease

  • Alzheimer’s disease

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  • Cancers

These chemicals also affect our respiratory, reproductive and endocrine systems. Pregnant women have a higher risk of miscarriages or defective births if they are exposed to these pesticides for long duration. Children might suffer from asthma and develop learning disability. Since they have so many negative effects, it is best to avoid them and look for other options. There are many natural pest control options available like tea tree oil, garlic oil and other essential oils. Many pest control companies like Pest Control in Sydney offer effective methods to eliminate harmful pests.

There are many options to substitute use of harmful chemical pesticides.

1. Homemade natural pesticides

As a homemaker, you certainly are conscious about saving money and using cost effective methods to control pests. Tea tree oil, oranges, garlic oil and other essential oils can be used to repel pests. Some people also use alcohol, salt, flour or garlic in their home to eradicate pests.

2. Environmental friendly pesticides

Using environmental friendly solutions to eradicate pests is an easy option. The important factor is that it should be used in correct quantity and at correct times. A good example is use of rotenone for eradicating bees. It should be applied at during the evening when the bees are less active. All earth and human friendly pesticides are good for health and environment. Using non-chemical substances to eliminate pests is a good approach to keep your home safe.

3. Ultrasonic waves

Another option is to use ultrasonic pest repellent. These units can be plugged into the wall electric socket. They emit ultrasonic waves that humans or most pets cannot hear. However, rodents can hear them and thus they will repel away from your house. It is a clean way to pest elimination and you can use it anytime you want.

4. Biological pest control

Another safe way of eliminating pests is by using biological pest control. The organisms called as predators can be used to eliminate the pests. These predators can be unleashed on the pests and these predators will eat them up. For example, if aphids are creating problems at your home, you can use predators who feed on aphids rather than spraying hazardous pesticides.

Thus, there are many safe and environmental friendly methods to eliminate pests. However, pest control is a long-term job and you will need patience for it.
