Many of the chemicals used in conventional pest control are harmful to humans (especially children), pets, and pollinators. These highly toxic chemicals can cause a lot of different problems, from skin burns to cancer and other illnesses.
Pests are very resilient. Bugs and insects are extremely adept at adapting to whatever we throw at them. Over time, traditional chemicals used to control ticks and mosquitoes are less effective because the bugs that survive the treatments develop a resistance to them. Eventually, conventional treatments become less effective, yet still carry the same dangers to us.
