Using Safe Pesticides For Your Home

Michael Nutt | February 18, 2010

It is a well known fact that the use of pesticides is a huge health issue. With that in mind people are still using these unhealthy products each and every day, to the tune of a billion pounds a year of dangerous pesticides being used on our food and around our homes.

Now everybody knows that foods that are in the grocery stores has been washed before they arrive at the store. And many people will still wash there fruits and veggies after they but them. However there are still trace pesticides that are being consumed from these fruits and vegetables, which are causing health issues.

Farmers and farm workers have reported the most health related illnesses, out of the over 15,000 reported, pesticide related illnesses every year. According to the EPA there could be many more cases that were never reported. The pesticide issue is huge and it is only going to get worse unless people do something about it.

While farmers and farm workers having there problems, the American Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals reports there there are over 30,000 cases of pet poisonings reported each year and yes these are due to pesticides. These numbers are not made up, they are calculated by the animal poison control center.

While commercial grade pesticides cause there share of the trouble, individual people share in the poisoning. By using all those chemical based weed killers or bug sprays you are contributing to the issue. Many people don’t even wait until there is an issue and use these chemicals as a preventive product.

One of the main health issues is that pesticides have been know to cause or contribute to, Parkinson’s disease, cancer and even certain birth defects in our children. What I don’t understand is that with all the evidence out there people continue to use theses pesticides.

The worst thing is that there are no laws that require pesticide producers to test home pesticides with the same standards as commercial grade pesticides. If you ever look at the ingredients not only will you find different poisons but also “inert ingredients” that don’t have to be tested???

So knowing that these chemical pesticides are bad for you and your pets may not be enough so look at this on a planetary scale. These pesticides contaminate our water, soil and air, which means we are killing our own planet. Look at it this way. These pesticides are killing off honeybee’s, if we end up killing off all the honeybee’s, our way of life will be gone. The consequences can be disastrous

The best bet for you and your neighbors is to learn how to combat pests without the use of chemicals. This will help you health and that of your pets and neighbors as well. And not to mention “Mother Earth”.
