Why Pesticides DONT Work

  The first evidence to this issue is; Why would people need a contract to keep pest controllers coming back if it really worked?? Right?

     First of all people need  to understand what most insecticides are made of. Bug killing chemicals generally consist of various types of toxic poisons (not just poisonous to intsects but, humans, pets, animals and all living things). They often use toxic waste byproducts off factories like oil refineries and other industries that  have no way of disposing toxic chemicals safely (so they put it in a spray to use around peoples' homes to kill insects).

     Frighteningly the chemical companies are not legally required to reveal what the 99% inert ingredients include. They certainly dont volunteer what their inert ingridients are for obvious reasons (the public probably wouldn't buy it if people knew what it was).

     Then they include some form of Petroleum Distilates which is an oil base to make sure it soaks into any surface. No matter how much people may scrub with any kind of soap, the poisonous residue is there to stay.

    Most of insecticides include ingredients that are meant to ATTRACT the very insect that people want to get rid of.  Most the time the insect doesn't find the spot where it was sprayed so people end up having "drugged out" insects, and more of them than people would have had originally (thus promting the public to buy more product).  The insects become sick, not functioning normally and eventually die to be cleaned up.

     Actually in most cases the insecticide sprays have to land right on the bug to even kill it. So bug sprays are not very effective. 

    Therefore Natural repellents are the best way to keep bugs out of your home and off your skin!

     Plus some insects have become immune to the toxic poisionous chemical compounds that are in certain insecticide sprays.  So the chemical companies have to keep developing stronger poisons for the sprays to kill insects. But humans and all mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and other living things do not become immune to the poisonous compounds in the insecticides. When the companies make the insecticides stronger it makes people, pets and other mammals even sicker.

   * Also, some of the insecticide chemicals can cause changes to the reproductive system of the insects causing them to breed even more!

     Meanwhile through this ridiculous commercial process one becomes distracted from the real problem. The reason why one had the insects in the first place is 100% of the time a completly different issue all together.  There is always a simple, healtheir, more environmentally safe solution.

Remember:  Every living thing has its place, it is there for a reason to do a paticular job that is part of keeping our environment functioning. The answer is not to get rid of it, but to figure out why it is there which usually has something to do with our own influence.  There are natural repellents to simply keep them away without killing them.
