Organic Pest Control

Eco-friendly pest control consists of methods that have a low impact on the environment and are safe with minimal risk for people and pets. This sustainable alternative to traditional chemical treatments is part of a broader strategy known as green pest control. Eco-friendly pest control carefully targets problematic insects, making it an ecologically sound choice. It typically has a lower carbon footprint than traditional pest control methods, as it is derived from natural substances and does not pose the same food contamination risks as chemical-based options.

When combined with integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, eco-friendly pest control can offer a long-term solution for keeping your home and surrounding environment pest-free. IPM prevents pests from returning, ensuring a sustainable approach to our residential pest control.

Our organic pest control solutions provide an environmentally friendly approach designed to eliminate insects and other pests using natural methods. For example, we may use plant-based oils or other natural derivatives to rid your home of unwanted pests.

At Modern Pest Control, we use natural botanical pesticides derived from plant oils and eco-friendly, biodegradable compounds that don’t create environmental build-up. In our natural pest control program, we carefully adhere to the USDA National Organic Program regulations and are recognized by the EPA’s Environmental Stewardship Program for our exemplary approach.

Understanding the differences between organic pest control and synthetic approaches can be helpful. When a pest management approach is organic, this means that it relies upon natural substances that are toxic to the pests being targeted. Synthetic pest management refers to when man-made substances are used. In some cases, organic pest control may require a greater quantity of product to achieve the desired outcome.

All pesticides are toxic to the pests they target. The suffix “-cide” means “killer,” making “pesticide” literally mean “killer of pests.” The primary difference between organic and chemical pesticides is their origin: organic pest control uses naturally occurring ingredients, while chemical pesticides are synthetic substances created by humans.

Just because a pesticide is naturally occurring—in other words, is organic—doesn’t mean that it’s safer, healthier, or eco friendly. Some naturally occurring substances actually have a greater risk, being more toxic than some synthetic/chemical choices. If you’d like to treat the populations in your home with organic solutions, then it’s important to use a company that offers green pest control options, like Modern Pest Control, to ensure that you use the right organic pesticides and appropriate applications.

Both synthetic/chemical and organic pest control can be quite effective, there can be a gap in the amount of time that the treatments take to work. Synthetic pesticides can often work faster, while eco pest control options may require more visits and multiple applications and more time to be effective.

Yes, both organic pesticides and synthetic ones accomplish goals, and Modern Pest Control offers both options, allowing customers to choose the approach that best fits their needs. A growing number of people across the country are choosing green pest control because they prefer to live more environmentally friendly lives and believe that organic pesticides are healthier and safer.

Our expert team will gladly chat about the differences between the two approaches that, at its heart, focus on how organic pesticides are derived from naturally occurring substances while synthetic/chemical ones use human-made ingredients.

There can be a drastic difference in the amount of time that each type takes to work with synthetic ones typically being much quicker. So, that’s a factor to take into account when choosing whether you’d like to go the organic route with your pest control services.

As an end result, pest extermination through organic means can be as effective as traditional pest control approaches. In each case, we use just the right amount of product needed to accomplish your goals.

The big difference is in the time frame that each takes to work. If you want or need to get rid of pests immediately, then traditional pest control is a better choice because products interrupt the pests’ life cycles or otherwise take care of the infestations more quickly.

If you’re fine with a more gradual approach that relies upon the use of substances occurring naturally in the world, then organic pest control could be a great option for you. There’s a perception that organic choices are always safer or healthier. If you’d like to discuss this before making your choice between traditional and natural pest control, we’re happy to talk to you.
