The positive thing is that there are safe, effective, and eco-friendly pest control measures that are not only safe for your family, but they are also friendly to the environment.

By making a responsible decision in your steady pest management, you are also making a responsible decision in your home and the environment.
Pests need various methods. These are the safest options that can be adopted by Australian households:
1. Pest Control Solutions Organic
Essential oils are used in organic treatments, including peppermint, citronella, and clove oil, which are all plant-based. These organic substances do not leave toxic deposits but keep off the pests, such as ants, spiders, cockroaches, etc.
2. Heat and Steam Treatments
Heat treatments are very useful in the case of bedbugs and certain insect infestations. It is also an all-pet-friendly pest control method because it kills pests by using controlled temperatures as opposed to chemicals.
3. Corporeal Obstacles and Shunning
Covering up cracks, putting up flyscreens, and sealing ways of access are eco-friendly methods of preventing access of pests such as rodents, birds, and cockroaches into your property to begin with.
4. Non-Toxic Baits and Traps
Newer traps and baits do not require the use of toxic chemicals and will attract rodents, ants, and wasps, but will not hurt your pets.
