Green pest control Tampa begins with prevention. What can homeowners do to keep pests away? Tampa has a lot of pests including cockroach, fleas, ants, spiders, and small rodents. Every pest requires two things — food and water. Given that, the simplest way for homeowners to prevent pests from taking up residence is to make sure to remove food that pests would eat. Also remove water sources, such as from a leaky hose or faucet so it is not available for pests to use.
Prevention is a great option, but it does not help you if pests have overrun your home or yard. The obvious choice, in that case, is to call an Green Pest Control exterminator. However, many people have concerns about the toxicity of pesticides used in their homes and yards. The good news for Tampa homeowners is that there are green products that help reduce the toxicity for pets and children. A good example of this is a newer treatment for termites. It turns out that special products on the market today can get rid of termites. They are not toxic, but offer a hidden opportunity for pest control. Entomologists look at the relationship between organisms to discover weaknesses that green pest control companies in Tampa can then use to help homeowners rid their homes and yards of pests. In the case of termites, these products do not kill the termites. Instead, it kills the bacteria found in the termite’s digestive track that breaks down the wood that termites eat. Without the bacteria the termites die. No toxicity involved for humans or pets.
