Green Pest Control?

Who would have thought those words would go together a few years ago? Not many I would guess but in fact over the last ten years there has been a big push to provide effective pest control that is also green in that it does not poison the environment or contaminate our living spaces with chemicals that are also harmful to humans and pets.

Orange extract has been used for termite control instead of the gas fumigation methods of ridding houses of those pests. I found a company out here in the west that is using the best reduced toxicity or non-toxic products in their pest control. Alpha Ecology has locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Dallas Texas, Arizona, and Denver Pest Control. It seems they work to do an integrated approach to pest control that includes controlling access to your house by sealing off entry points fro pests, applying to nests and concentrated areas rather than blanket application. They use organic and natural-based pest control products when possible.

Seems like a great idea to control your pest problems in your home. Don’t have a company spray toxic chemicals all over the place, don’t get your house gassed. But use the new breed of companies that can treat your problems without endangering your family or the environment.
