Is Pest Control Harmful to Plants?

Pesticides are used to kill, repel, or prevent bugs from entering a home. Since pesticides are made from chemicals, they can be harmful to flowers, plants, and bushes if not applied correctly. Using a pest control company is the best way to ensure the safety of your plants while keeping unwanted pests away from the house. Barnes Exterminating Company is a licensed and bonded pest control company that can treat your home for pests and not harm your plants, babies, or pets.

Thorough Inspection

Barnes Exterminating will perform a thorough outdoor and indoor inspection to create a customized pest treatment plan for your home. By understanding the lay of the land, we can adjust plans so that any pesticides used will not impact your prized flower garden or your costly landscaping. We also look for non-pesticide solutions, like removing nests or filling holes, to keep bugs at bay.

Professional Application

Our pest control professionals know how much and where to spray so that it can achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal impact to plants. It’s also important to know when to spray a pesticide. For example, we avoid spraying if a large rainstorm is expected, because the pesticide could likely be washed away and can be carried to nearby plant life.

The Right Pesticide for the Job

There are many different types of pesticides available, and choosing the one that will be most effective and safest for your family, pets, and the environment can be tricky. Barnes Exterminating Company has the knowledge of which pesticide to use to get the job done. We use reduced-risk pesticides that are certified to be the safest methods for people, pets, and the environment. These pesticides have a low potential for contaminating groundwater and lower toxicity on plants.

For Barnes Exterminating, the safety of children, pets, and the environment, is of the utmost importance. Our approach to pest control is one of integrated pest management.
