Understanding the Risks

While modern professional pest control products are generally safer than older methods, certain chemicals can still pose risks to pets if not used properly. Recognising these risks and knowing the signs of exposure are essential for every pet owner. Here at RS Pest, we can assist you in identifying the risks and choosing the right method for you. 

Common Pest Control Chemicals

  • Rodenticides: These are designed to control rodents but can also be harmful to pets if eaten directly. To keep your animals safe, baits must be placed only in secure, inaccessible areas.

  • Insecticides: Used to target ants, cockroaches, and spiders, these products can occasionally cause illness if pets come into direct contact. Careful application in hidden places reduces this risk.

  • Baits: While generally lower in toxicity, these products often contain attractants that can make them interesting to curious pets. Keeping them out of reach is the key to preventing accidental exposure.

  • Fumigants and Foggers: Designed to treat larger spaces, these products work best when the area is completely clear. Pets should be removed during treatment and only returned once your pest professional confirms it is safe.

Pet Safety During Pest Control

At RS Pest, we know how important it is to keep every member of your family safe, including your pets. That’s why our treatments are carefully planned and applied with pet wellbeing in mind.

To give you complete peace of mind, we recommend a few simple steps:

  • Temporary Relocation: For maximum safety, we advise keeping pets out of treated areas until your technician confirms it is safe for them to return.

  • Protect Belongings: Move food bowls, toys, bedding, and other pet items to a separate space before treatment begins.

  • Clear Guidance: Our technicians will provide clear instructions on when your pets can safely re-enter and how to prepare your home in advance.

  • Ongoing Support: If you have any questions or concerns, our team is always available to advise you on the best ways to keep your pets comfortable and secure during the process.

With these precautions and our expert approach, you can rest assured that your pest problem will be solved without compromising your pets’ safety.
