Can pest management be harmful to Pets?
When faced with a pest in the house, many Australian homeowners resort to doing their pest control treatments. However, a question often arises: "Is pest control harmful to pets?”.
Is there a need for pest management?
Pests like insects, rodents, and other unwanted organisms can threaten our homes and health. They can cause property damage, spread diseases, and infest our family living areas. As a result, pest management becomes not just important but necessary. However, ensuring that the pest management methods are safe for our pets is crucial.
Potential Risks to Pets
Pets are integral to our families, and their safety is paramount. Pesticides used in pest control, while effectively eliminating pests, can pose potential risks to pets. Pets can ingest these chemicals, absorb them through their skin, or inhale them. Some pesticides can cause overstimulation of the nervous system, liver damage, tremors, convulsions, and seizures. Therefore, ensuring that the pest methods used are pet-safe is essential.
