When you notice ants in your home, you may be tempted to pick up a can of ant spray. Here is why an ant exterminator from Hornet Pest Control may be the better and safer option:
Ant Spray Is Dangerous to People
Ant spray is a pesticide made of chemicals that can be toxic to humans. You can experience the effects from breathing the fumes, getting the spray on your skin, or ingesting it.
Even minor issues, such as irritation to the nose, eyes, and skin, can be uncomfortable. Higher exposure can affect breathing, causing wheezing or an asthma attack. Store-bought pesticides like ant spray can lead to headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms. Hornet Pest Control uses products that are safe around people to get rid of ants.
Ant Spray Is Toxic to Animals
Ant spray from the store can be toxic to animals. If they get too close to the area where you sprayed or are in the room while you’re spraying, it can cause irritation to their eyes, nose, and skin.
Pets may also lick the area where you sprayed. If they ingest the spray, it can be even more toxic. This can also be an issue if they eat a bug that has died from the spray.
If a pet ingests the poison, it can cause vomiting and diarrhea. They may show signs of an upset stomach or become lethargic. The exterminators from Hornet Pest Control provide quality extermination that is safe for your pets and your home.
An Ant Exterminator Is More Effective
When you use ant spray, it only eliminates part of the problem. The spray kills ants where it lands. It can even continue to kill any ants that step into the spray after it has dried, but it won’t get them all. You most likely have more pests that you don’t see, which will survive and continue to bring in new ants.
