The Dangers of Traditional Pest Control.
Not only are the traditional methods of pest control damaging to our environment, but they can also have lifelong effects on your family's health.
Contaminated Drinking Water
Pesticides can contaminate drinking water through various pathways, including runoff from agricultural fields, residential lawns, and industrial sites, as well as improper disposal and spills.

Pest Resistance
Overuse of synthetic pesticides can lead to the development of pesticide-resistant pests, requiring higher doses or more toxic chemicals, creating a vicious cycle.

Poisoning in Pets
Pesticides can be dangerous to pets if they are exposed to them through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through the skin. Symptoms of pesticide poisoning in pets can include vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and even death.

Loss in Biodiversity
Pesticides can negatively impact a wide range of non-target organisms, including beneficial insects (e.g., pollinators), birds, fish, and other wildlife, leading to biodiversity decline and disrupting ecosystem balance.
Food Chain Contamination
Pesticide residues can accumulate in the food chain, posing risks to humans and other organisms that consume contaminated plants or animals.

Children, pregnant women, and farmworkers are particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of pesticides due to their higher exposure levels or increased sensitivity.
