CDC Advises on Getting Rid of Unwanted Pests Safely

Seattle Property Management

 

If you have ever had an unwanted squatter (pest) in your personal home, or rental property, you know that there is an urgency to figure out a way to eradicate this unwanted visitor.

Many people may take matters into their own hands. Recently the CDC has issued an advisory health warning over using the wrong pesticides to treat for bedbugs and cockroaches.

The first step is identifying the pest you are treating for. If you are handling this yourself, for your own home, even pesticides approved for indoor use can be harmful if over-applied or not used according to the label directions. There have been many reports of people becoming ill from misuse. Children are especially sensitive to these chemicals since they spend much time close to the ground, and touching and putting items in their mouths that may have been sprayed. They also breathe a greater volume of air per body weight than adults. Animals should be considered as well.

The CDC recommends determining what type of bug you are battling, to not use inappropriate chemicals, to follow all instructions on the label and, best answer, use a certified pest expert. If you own a rental property, it is advisable that you consult a certified pest expert.
