Outdoor Pest Control
There are many outdoor pests, which need to be kept under control. Keeping them under control brings many benefits to a household and everyone that lives in that home. Fortunately, it is not difficult to keep your outdoor spaces free of pests.
Why Outdoor Pest Control is Important
There are two main reasons to keep outdoor pests under control. The first reason is that some pests carry disease. Only a few of these diseases are transmittable from pests to humans, but those that are, like Lyme disease that is carried by ticks, are serious. In addition, there are several diseases, carried by pests, which can cause health problems in animals, including family pets.
Outdoor pests not only carry diseases, they also destroy plants. If you do not keep outdoor pests under control, it is practically impossible to have a flourishing garden. Pests can decimate a garden in a couple of weeks, and will soon spread to neighbouring gardens.
Outdoor Pest Control to Keep Your Pets Safe
It is particularly important to control ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. These pests carry the most common diseases, which are most dangerous to your pets. Keeping these bloodsucking pests under control will make a significant difference to your animals overall health.
Of course, treating other pests like beetles, ants, aphids, termites, gnats, roaches, silverfish and other bugs can be potentially dangerous for your pets if a synthetic pesticide is used outdoors. Most of these pests can be controlled by spraying a pesticide. However, it is important to check that the pesticide you are using is pet friendly and non toxic. There are some good pet friendly pesticides available, which make outdoor pest control easy.
However, it is not enough to buy a pet friendly pesticide. You need to double check that it is safe for use around the type of pet you have. Some products are OK for use around dogs and cats, but not for use around smaller animals like rabbits or tortoises.
It is also important to take the time to read the instructions and follow them carefully. With some pet friendly products, there is still an element of risk because you have to keep pets away from the area for several hours until the product has dried. Even after it is dry, it can still be toxic if pets eat the grass or lay down and then lick themselves. It is wise to look for those products that allow your pets to use the area even immediately after spraying. That is how you can be sure it is safe.
