Is Pest Control Safe for Kids and Pets?
If you have children or pets at home, it’s natural to be cautious about pest control. The idea of chemicals or traps around your living space can raise a lot of questions: Will it affect my dog? Is it okay for toddlers? Should we leave the house?
At Be There Pest Control, we take these concerns seriously. Here’s what you need to know about keeping your family safe while protecting your home from pests.
Pest Control Has Changed—for the Better
Today’s professional pest control is nothing like the heavy-handed chemical sprays of decades past. We use targeted, EPA-registered products designed to be applied with precision and minimal exposure.
Many treatments are low-odor, residue-free, and safe for use in homes, schools, hospitals, and daycare centers.
How We Keep Families Safe
1. Targeted Application Only
We apply treatments exactly where pests are active—such as behind walls, under appliances, or in sealed bait stations—never across open surfaces or play areas.
2. Pet and Child-Conscious Products
All materials are selected with safety in mind. We avoid harsh or broad-spectrum chemicals in favor of smarter, pest-specific solutions.
3. Clear Instructions for Reentry
If any temporary precautions are needed (such as drying time for a sprayed baseboard), we’ll let you know up front.
4. Rodent Control You Don’t Have to Touch
Our tamper-resistant bait stations are locked and secure, keeping children and animals away from the materials inside.
What You Can Do to Prepare
Let us know if you have young children, cats, dogs, birds, or other pets—we’ll tailor our approach accordingly.
Follow any prep instructions provided before your visit (like covering food or securing pet dishes).
Keep pets and children away from treatment areas until advised it’s safe to return.
Safe for Families, Tough on Pests
We believe no one should have to choose between a pest-free home and a safe one. Our treatments are designed with both in mind—and our technicians are trained to deliver the safest, most effective service possible.
