FACTS ABOUT PESTICIDES

Many products on the market today have a very specific toxicity which only affects insects' growth patterns at the time of critical formation, thus only affecting some species of insects and controlling others. Toxin levels are low but still have an affect on humans. Most households are more conscious of their pest control choices than ever before.

The first organochlorin pesticide, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (commonly known as DDT) was developed and used just prior to World War II. Later, synthetic pyrethroids were developed; many of these have a low toxicity level for warm-blooded creatures, including humans. Many people with sensitive respiratory problems need to be careful of such products.

Non-toxic products such as Pest Xit safely eradicate most threatening pests from households and environments in which we work and play

PESTICIDES, PETS AND CHILDREN

Many veterinary surgeons over the years have treated or encountered poisoning cases as a result of anticoagulant rodenticides (rodent baits) such as brodifacoum and bromadiolone which cause internal haemorrhage and can be fatal.
Anticoagulant rodenticides must be stored away from children and pets. Set baits or traps in containers that can't be reached by children or pets or install a non-toxic alternative such as a Pest Xit unit.

In the event that you spray your home or office with chemical pesticides, make sure that you, your children and pets do not enter the area for at least 20 hours.

If you have applied any pesticides or treatments in your garden, make sure that your children or pets do not dig or play in these areas.

CONCLUSION

More than one million different species of insects have been identified, but some experts believe that there may be as many as 30 million insect species in the world that have yet to be discovered and identified, according to Dr. E.O. Wilson of Harvard University and the Entomological Society of America (ESA). They live and breed in all types of land and fresh-water environments, including glacial snowfields and hot desert areas.

There is not a single product on the market that will eradicate every type of insect. Insects are considered pests to humans and we spend a great deal of time and money fighting them.
Many pest control methods can be as deadly as the insects themselves. The effects of the toxin levels in humans can be dangerous, even deadly in the case of those suffering from breathing disorders.

The new millennium has promoted greater environmental consciousness than ever. Demand for non-toxic, electromagnetic and ultrasonic pest control devices has increased significantly. The Pest Xit range of ultrasonic and electromagnetic products use the most advanced technology in this category of product. Although this type of product may not be suited to all conditions, more than 94% of consumers who purchase electromagnetic or ultrasonic pest control devices are happy with the results.

Pest Xit  products are chemical free, protect the environment, are safe for your children and most non-rodent domestic pets. They are also easy to install.

Pest Xit  is your security to an environment that is clean and safe.
