Why is Pest Control a Big Deal?
A few stats about Pest Control...
The Pest Control Products and the Pest Control Services industries combined to create a $16.336 billion market in the United States in 2024. Services are $12 billion and the rest are products people buy. That is huge! In comparison, the HVAC industry which everyone has - whether it is Air Conditioning in the summer or heat in the winter - is barely twice that size.
And what about the industry that creates these pest control products used in the pest control services? For humans, you may have heard of synthetic pyrethroids (used in personal pest control products), DEET (GAG! Such a toxic chemical that it melts plastic!), or others like Fipronil. These are ALL SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS that are no better for you than DDT. Same concept, same temporary effectiveness, same disastrous results, just a lot stronger than the DDT of old.
How can this be? The EPA and FDA and all sorts of alphabet groups of the government are there to protect us, right? There is no way these chemicals are unsafe, right?
Think again. Big Chemical pays LOTS of money for the registration of these products so that the average American thinks the registration makes them somehow safe. Nope – only known toxins, poisons and carcinogens need to be ‘registered’. And of course, dosages are based on what is appropriate for a 180-pound male, not a 40-pound toddler. Tail wagging the dog. All for the benefit of Big Chemical companies making $16+ billion in just one short year.
Bugs have been around since the dawn of Man and there is always an issue of pest control. What are your options?
Do you want toxic, man-made chemicals with long term effects for the answer?
Or do you want safe, all-natural ingredients straight from Nature herself?
Your choice. Your family. Your long-term health depends on the pest control products you choose!
