I Have Kids - Is Using Pest Control Safe?
kphelps • Oct 27, 2021
Understanding the Concerns
The biggest concern that parents tend to have when it comes to using pest control is the chemicals that are used to address the pest problem. It’s perfectly understandable. Pest control chemicals are usually designed to kill pests. It’s reasonable to think that your children could be threatened by those same chemicals.
Understanding the Risks of Not Using Pest Control
The thing is, not using pest control poses its own set of risks. Pests like mice, rats, and cockroaches can carry diseases into your home, contaminate your food, and trigger allergic reactions. Others, such as ants, wasps, and spiders can deliver painful, and sometimes dangerous stings and bites. Then there’s the damage these creatures can do to the home itself. Insulation, wiring, wood, and even books and cloth are all subject to damage inflicted by various pests that might decide to use your home as theirs.
