Pest Control Safety: Are Boric Acid and Borates Safe for Cats and Dogs?
As pet owners, our primary instinct is to protect our cats and dogs from any potential household hazard. When fa...
Keeping a home completely free of pests should never come at the expense of your family’s health and safety. For homes with curious dogs, cats, or young children, traditional chemical treatments like broadcast sprays and exposed gels present unnecessary exposure risks.
The Risks of Broadcast Liquid Chemical Sprays
Broadcast pesticide sprays are applied over large surface areas like baseboards and carpets. Dogs and cats walk along these treated surfaces, absorbing chemicals through their paws and ingesting them during grooming. Additionally, liquid chemical residues can leave sticky, toxic layers that are easily reached by young children crawling on the floor.
The Advantage of Surgical Bait Placement
A highly secure alternative is surgical powder baiting. By packing dry, odorless active powder inside specialized paper sachets, the bait remains entirely contained. You can place these small sachets deep within narrow cracks, cabinet corners, and appliance gaps—locations that are easily accessible to crawling insects but completely out of reach of household pets and children.
Clean and Odorless Home Defense
Dry active powder baits do not release chemical fumes or VOCs into the indoor air. The formula remains locked in the precise spot you choose, ensuring your living space stays clean, comfortable, and safe for your beloved pets while delivering high-performance pest protection.
