Pesticides – are they safe?

Most pet-care products, pest control sprays, insecticides, fungicides, pesticides and herbicides are especially dangerous. These formulas contain powerful, active ingredients designed to kill their intended targets quickly.

Not only do these deadly concoctions terminate a variety of pests, but they also wipe out harmless, beneficial insects that naturally control these unwanted nuisances in the first place. If a formulation is highly poisonous and lethal to pests and insects, it is likely to have repercussions over time on the overall health of humankind, our pets and the planet.

Substantial human exposure to these deadly formulas is easy, as they are readily absorbed on contact with our skin and when inhaled thus posing a serious threat to our wellbeing.

Conventional pesticides and chemical treatments have been proved to cause headaches, excess salivation, muscle twitching, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting seizures, loss of consciousness and may even be responsible for cancer, nervous system poisoning and other fatal diseases.

To reduce our risk to these products, it is crucial that we switch to chemical-free, environmentally friendly alternatives. You can rid your homes and gardens of unwanted pests and insects through the use of essential oils and citrus fruits, which is a far safer and more humane way for all concerned.
