WHY CHOOSE ECO PEST CONTROL FOR YOUR HOME?
It works.
Eco pest control is based on common sense. Using natural solutions, it prevents pests from thriving by denying the bugs food, water, shelter and access to your home.
It's safer.
By using the least toxic methods available, eco pest control solves pest problems without risking the health of your family or pets.
It's popular.
More than 78 percent of homeowners who hire pest control professionals to manage bugs in their home ask for an eco-friendly option. Here it is!
It's simple.
Think of it as a team effort between you and your eco pest control professional. Together you’ll make decisions and simple changes to rid your home of bugs completely.
JUST BECAUSE THEY USE IT, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S SAFE.
Of course they should know. But many conventional pest controllers don’t know the real toxicity of the pesticides they’re using around your home. They may even think they’re safe. The truth is, many are spraying dangerous stuff, and you have the right to know. Before your next spray, ask your pest controller whether he sprays these chemicals, and find out if you can opt for a safer alternative.
