Here at Absolute Pest Control we are often asked about the safety of our products.
First let us explain that we are not legally allowed to state that our products are Safe or Non-toxic, because there are no 100% safe products including many of your common household products. Rather it is HOW a product is used and the AMOUNT of exposure that determines whether or not it is harmful.
We can assure you that our products are rated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as “slightly toxic” even in their concentrated form. We will dilute this concentrated form in a gallon of water, apply that mixture over more than 1000 square feet of surface, and then request that you (the customer) stay off that surface until it is dry.
Finally you should be aware the pest control industry is regulated by the Department of Agriculture. We are inspected on a regular basis and are held to a high standard. Rest assured, as a company, Absolute Pest Control’s concern is always for the safety of our customers and technicians.
