Pesky Pests and The Toxins Used to Rid Them

I think we all know the dangers of pesticides and herbicides so I do not think I have to say very much about letting a pest control company come in and spray your house with toxic chemicals. There are companies out there that do not use these toxic chemicals. If you live in San Antonio like I do I use Mosquito Nix for my pest control (699-7700). There is also another company called Earth Wise Organic Pest Control (647-0814). If you do not live in San Antonio then do the same thing I suggested to find a green dry cleaner Just google natural pest control or non-toxic pest control for your city. You can also look through the yellow pages and probably find one. They will make it a point of advertising that they are "green" or something along these lines.

See my post on the Top 10 Killer Household Chemicals to learn more about keeping toxins out of your home. Go through your home and gather up all the toxic cleaners, bug sprays, etc and dispose of properly. You cannot throw these in the regular trash. You will have to call your local sanitation department and ask them where to take them so they are disposed of properly. Most cities have a location where you can drop them off. I suggest gathering them all so you only have to make one trip.
