Wherever you are in the United States – from Washington to Atlanta – exterminating pests can be a cinch. The prevailing misconception about pesticides these days is that when a product is labeled “natural” or “organic,” it is environmentally safe. While this may not always be true, there is still a host of ways to respect nature while taking care of unwanted visitors. Here are a few:
- For moderate cases of insect infestations, go with botanical solutions. Cedar oil, for one is an organic, natural and non-toxic insect repellent. Because it’s safe for human skin—and smells rather good to boot—there are no restrictions to how it can be used. Apply it on your skin or treat your couch or beddings with it in order to ward off mosquitoes, fleas, cockroaches and ants.
- Ornamental plants often serve as breeding houses for bad bugs. In the case of aphids, think twice about the chemical solution. Oftentimes, this type of bug can be washed away by a strong stream of water. For outdoor mosquito invasions you can grow the plant Citrosa Geranium on your porch or patio.
- For more stubborn parasites, insecticidal soap can be a worthy alternative to chemical products. Unlike the latter, insecticidal soap is safe for plants, thus it can be sprayed directly on to plants or wherever the insect infestation is without running the risk of poisoning the area.
These tips are effective only to a certain extent. For more extreme cases, contact an Atlanta exterminating company.
