How to Kills Bugs Properly and Effectively While insecticides are an effective way of killing house bugs and pests, proper precaution should be taken when using them as they can be harmful to the body. Here are proper and effective ways on killing bugs using insecticides according to pest control in Houston.
1. Before using any substance, read the label carefully first. Those that are labeled “non-toxic to humans” are your safest option. However, they still require careful handling. Even though exposure to the substance once may not be dangerous, there is a growing concern about cumulative toxicity and the effect of long-term build up. So use even the mild insecticides carefully. Here are some important words and labels you should know: a. When you see to the word "warning," know that you have a more dangerous product. Follow the directions to the letter. b. If you see the word "poison" or an old skull and crossbones symbol, skip it and pick another product. Leave the stuff to the professionals and stay out of their way. 2. Read the instructions carefully. Never mix different insecticides together. Never mix an insecticide in greater strength than directed – it is only the bugs you want to kill, not your pets, your children, or yourself. 3. Determine what you need for it. If it is one type of bug you are concerned about, pick the least toxic insecticide that will kill the particular bug.
