Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are insect treatments safe for humans?

Answer:

If you suffer from asthma and are worried about having an insect treatment in your house, then this is best discussed with your medical advisor on an individual basis. The pest control officer can give you details of methods and materials which are to be used to treat your infestation.

Insecticides are potentially harmful to humans where ingested, inhaled or where direct contact is made. However, suitable precautions will be taken in carrying out the treatment to prevent this happening. At the time of visiting, the officer will leave you with information on the particular materials which have been used.
