Finding a Greener Pest Control Option

In our personal and professional consulting, we stress the importance in making informed purchase decisions as part of a sustainable lifestyle. While the number of ‘green’ and ‘eco-friendly’ options has increased dramatically in the last few years, sometimes making sustainable choices can mean a compromise in quality or value. This has long been the case when it comes to domestic pesticides.

Over the last few months, Taiga Company has been hit with a growing number of ants in the office. Initially assumed to be a food or cleaning problem, the inability to remedy the situation moved the conversation towards more drastic control.

Through some investigation we came up with some new ideas and more sustainable alternative products and services. Here is what we discovered which may help raise your eco awareness and identify alternative options that are best for you:

•    The pest control industry is offering ‘integrated pest management’ services.

•    Simple preventative measures or ordinary household products may be just as effective.

•    When faced with the need to personally tackle the job, consult an Pest Control Guide for alternative products.

In our sustainability consulting, we remind our friends and clients that choosing eco friendly options is aligned with a sustainable lifestyle. In many cases such as pesticides, preventive measures are often the best. However in choosing domestic pest control, the great news is there are a variety of ‘friendly’ options available on the market today. Unlike previous options, today’s products are better for the environment, contain fewer toxins, and can be just as effective.

The pursuit of a sustainable lifestyle includes a search to continuously integrate eco awareness into your life. Some of the most impactful areas are those that we do as part of our daily routine. By making a choice for alternative products, you as a consumer contribute to raising eco awareness and expanding the market for organic and environmentally friendly products.
