Our Chemical Selection Criteria
Chemical Selection Decision Making Criteria
NatureSafe Pest Solutions works on the principle that the more selective the control, the less harm there will be to non-target organisms in the environment, including infants, children, pets and the organisms that are an important part of a healthy home and ecosystem. We select pesticides based on the following criteria:
Least Toxic
Least acutely and chronically toxic product available.
Non-residual
Chemicals that reside on surfaces continue to be active for anywhere from months to years. We prefer baits that are used to manage a problem, their location is known and they can be replaced when necessary.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable with low or non-toxic breakdown pathways – this ensures there is no detrimental impact beyond the intended application.
Target Specific & Selective
We choose the product that works specifically on the species identified.
