What eco-friendly pest control means to us

The term Eco Friendly is often used in pest control and termite industries. To be honest there are no true eco friendly poisons, they are that, poisonous. However, there are low toxic options and choices that use different chemicals that may only harm specific insects.

Eco-friendly pest control at Action Termite Solutions is possible due to our knowledge and experience. Understanding different the different products, and the amount and location of where those products are being applied is critical. This makes it possible to use less chemicals to still achieve the pest control outcome required.

Unfortunately, pest control can’t be effectively performed without chemicals. However, where possible we always choose lower toxicity products, and careful application to reduce our environmental impact. We also teach our clients how to deter or prevent pests, before spraying is necessary.

There’s no need to be applying excessive amounts of chemicals to areas that don’t have issues. Focusing more specifically on what it is we are actually treating and not just treating everything under the sun. This is a better approach.

Sentrex termite barriers are one example. Instead of pouring highly toxic chemicals into a system each year, Sentrex is a baiting system. You can monitor activity yourself and it only really targets termites as it needs to be eaten to be effective.

Why you should consider eco-friendly pest control

By considering an eco-friendly pest control option you are making a conscious effort to minimize your impact on the environment. Not only are our low toxicity products just as effective as the higher toxicity chemicals, but they are less likely to harm the environment, your family or your pets. It is a small step that you can make in the right direction for our planet.

Main differences between
eco-friendly pest control and more traditional pest control treatments

Many supermarket shelf products and other pest control poisons have very high levels of toxic additives in addition to the active ingredients that control the target pest. Although completely non-toxic pest control is considered to have very low to no control impact on pests, we do use lower toxicity products than the average supermarket. We achieve this by being able to use just one very specialised chemical diluted at a specific rate that does the job. they don’t have the additional toxic additives of many readily available pest control products.

While chemical free pest control is sadly not possible for effective pest treatments, our environmentally friendly pest control method works. We can leverage our deep knowledge and understanding of the pests we target and the wider insect populations. this allows us to minimise the impact to helpful insects and creatures in your gardens and soil. By understanding the biology and behaviour of the pests we are targeting we are able to carefully target treatment areas. The aaim is to keep children and pets safe while preserving the natural balance of insect life for our future.

How much does a Sentrex system cost?

A: Sentrex eradication systems form an underground surveillance network that will identify termite activity on the property and provide the best opportunity for total colony elimination. Capital cost is similar to a traditional chemical installation without the need for regular reapplications or ongoing monitoring fees. The only future cost is fixed rate treatment and reactivation after termites have been detected and destroyed.
