			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I am looking for a totally non toxic product to use in my home on a every few month basis. We live in the woods, so we see spiders, roaches, ants etc. Thank you.</em></p>
<p>We have a few options and I expect one will serve your needs adequately. Here are some suggestions.</p>
<p>The first would be the &#034;strongest&#034; option. It&#039;s federally exempt due to the fact that it uses food grade actives and is very safe for use around people and animals. <a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/eco-exempt-ic-concentrate" target="_blank"><strong>ECO IC</strong></a> is a concentrate that can be used inside and outside the home and will no doubt control all the pests you&#039;re likely to encounter. It&#039;s not a pesticide but it does act like one in that it kills target insects and supplies a lengthy residual or residue that will remain active for some time.</p>
<p>The second option would be the <a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/bug-patrol-rts" target="_blank"><strong>BUG PATROL RTS</strong></a>. This is an organic spray that can&#039;t be used inside but instead is designed for use around the home. It&#039;s highly effective on tough to kill bugs like roaches and ants. By spraying once a quarter (every three months), you&#039;d knock down the local insect population and in theory effectively reduce the odds of any coming inside. This approach is actually  much more effective compared to waiting till you see them inside and then spraying where everyone lives. Getting bugs outside the home, before they get inside, is a better approach and this product is one of the best organic options when using this method.</p>
<p>The third option would be the <a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/aerosols/houseplant-insect-killer-10-oz" target="_blank"><strong>HOUSE PLANT INSECT KILLER</strong></a>. Labeled for use inside the home, on house plants and pretty much anywhere, it&#039;s ready to spray (comes in a can) and is very handy to have for spot treating. Use as needed or every 2 months. It won&#039;t be the most cost effective material to use if you&#039;re house is large but it might have a place in your overall program since it can be used as much as needed, is organic and can be applied on any vegetable plant inside or out in the yard around the home.</p>
<p>Lastly, you could opt for a total non pesticide approach with the pure <a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/repellents/nbs-repellent-insect-spray" target="_blank"><strong>INSECT REPELLENT</strong></a>. This product is to be used outside only and is mostly used as a paint or stain additive. When used in this fashion, it can repel pests for 1-2 years including all the ones you listed above. When used as a spray, results won&#039;t be as long but you should still get 2-3 months of residual. This would be the most &#034;green&#034; option as it&#039;s not a pesticide and won&#039;t kill anything. Given the location of the home, I&#039;m not sure this will prove effective enough for your needs but it might.</p>
<p>In summary, all of these options are included on this site and considered non toxic when compared to traditional pesticides. Hopefully one of these options will fulfill your requirement. Here are links to the products mentioned above:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div><em>Thanks so much for the info, I just placed my order.  (I have varied carpet beetles by the way, I&#039;m sure).</p>
<p>The infestation we have is relatively mild, but a nuisance (I&#039;ve already had to throw out 2 dress suits, 3 coats and other clothing!  So, I have everything sealed in garment bags now.).  The problem is that my wife and I live in a very small apartment with 3 cats.  As you know, most pesticides are highly toxic to cats, so we&#039;re just using regular household cleaners like Clorox clean up spray w/bleach (and soon the pheromone traps) to regularly clean infested areas keep the beetle population in check.</em></div>

<p>The infestation we have is relatively mild, but a nuisance (I&#039;ve already had to throw out 2 dress suits, 3 coats and other clothing!  So, I have everything sealed in garment bags now.).  The problem is that my wife and I live in a very small apartment with 3 cats.  As you know, most pesticides are highly toxic to cats, so we&#039;re just using regular household cleaners like Clorox clean up spray w/bleach (and soon the pheromone traps) to regularly clean infested areas keep the beetle population in check.</p>
<p>I really appreciate any other advice you may have.  How long do the traps typically last before I need to change them?</p>
<p></em><em>Thanks very much for your help!</em></p>
</div>
<div><em><br />
</em></div>
<div>Our <strong><a  href="http://www.bugspray.com/catalog/products/page831.html" target="_blank">CARPET BEETLE TRAPS</a></strong> will generally last 2-3 months before the pheromone looses it&#039;s scent or the glue gets too dry to hold target insects. I would say to replace them every quarter when you know you have activity; less frequently if nothing is active.</div>
<div>But since you mentioned you have cats, there are two products I believe will help your problem and are very pet friendly for use in apartments and homes. Both are generally used to treat flea infestations but because the area being treated with either product would be your carpet, I know both can effectively help reduce carpet beetles too. In other words, if you used either for fleas in your apartment, these dusts would control the carpet beetles that love to live in the same area. We know this due to the biology but more importantly, over all the years of selling it we&#039;ve heard feedback over and over to substantiate the claim.</div>
<div>The first is a Diatomaceous Earth product that&#039;s been refined and is very clean to use in the home. It can be applied directly to carpeting for fleas and will definitely work on the carpet beetles too even though you won&#039;t find them listed on the specimen label. You can read more details on the <strong><a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/dust/mothers-earth-diatomaceous-dust" target="_blank">MOTHERS EARTH DUST</a></strong> page but this is highly effective on larval stages of any insects including carpet beetles. I know it would help your problem if you got some applied to carpeting and  up under furniture which may be another great nest location for this voracious insect.</div>
<div>The second product can be seen on our <strong><a  href="http://www.flea.net/flea-control" target="_blank">FLEA CONTROL</a></strong> page and is something we&#039;ve sold for a long time. Treatments last a year and it&#039;s so safe, it won&#039;t even kill adult fleas. But because it nestles down t the nap of the carpet, it will effectively dehydrate and kill carpet beetle larvae. You can see a write up on it here on this post:</div>
<div><a  href="http://www.flea.net/carpet/once-a-year-flea-treatment.html">http://www.flea.net/carpet/once-a-year-flea-treatment.html</a></div>
<div>Here are links to the other products mentioned in this post:</div>

<div>Hope this helps!</div>

<p>Bees are quite sensitive to insecticides and most importantly, subject to more exposure to insecticides based on  how they behave. Any insect which is mobile and typically likes to land on plants all day long is a prime candidate for some kind of toxin exposure. Compared to other insects like Cave Crickets which live and thrive in dark caverns away from the sun, people and other extreme influences, it&#039;s amazing bees, wasps and other social insects are able to live more than a day in our dangerous world. With this in mind, anyone that keeps or cares about bees should make an effort to decrease the liklihood of exposing them to undue levels of pesticide. And one way to do this is to use products which don&#039;t last long after they&#039;re applied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I`m  bee keeper is it safe to use  around the bee`s? <strong><a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/multi-purpose-insect-killer-24-oz">MP INSECT KILLER 24 OZ</a></strong></em></p>
<p>Bees are quite sensitive to insecticides and most importantly, subject to more exposure to insecticides based on  how they behave. Any insect which is mobile and typically likes to land on plants all day long is a prime candidate for some kind of toxin exposure. Compared to other insects like Cave Crickets which live and thrive in dark caverns away from the sun, people and other extreme influences, it&#039;s amazing bees, wasps and other social insects are able to live more than a day in our dangerous world. With this in mind, anyone that keeps or cares about bees should make an effort to decrease the liklihood of exposing them to undue levels of pesticide. And one way to do this is to use products which don&#039;t last long after they&#039;re applied.</p>
<p>The product you inquired about is in fact one such product. Certified for organic gardening, <strong><a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/multi-purpose-insect-killer-24-oz">MP INSECT KILLER</a></strong> has a short life span. It has just 1 day to harvest which means it&#039;s pretty much gone in a day of being applied. Having a &#034;1 day to harvest&#034; means in one day, crops which have been sprayed with it are suitable for human consumption. Such labeling is only extended to products which break down rapidly. By dissipating rapidly, there is less chance of a toxic exposure to non-target insects like bees since the product isn&#039;t effectively hanging around killing everything that lands on it. The mindset here is you&#039;re spraying a target insect you see and know about; a good effort on your part should eliminate the real targeted insect and then afterward, within a day, the product used will be gone and the plant can go back to as it was prior to being sprayed. The big plus is that the targeted insect is now gone so that in theory, the plant should benefit (assuming the targeted insect was targeted because it was doing some kind of damage). Plants treated with long lasting residuals can in fact impact hundreds if not thousands of insects during their course of life and if you keep bees, you know exactly what I&#039;m talking about. In general, it&#039;s best to avoid using such products unless the situation warrants such applications or the host plant is one bees, wasps and other beneficial insects avoid.</p>
<p>In summary, products like <strong><a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/insecticidal-soap">INSECTICIDAL SOAP</a></strong> and <strong><a  href="http://www.non-toxic-pest-control.com/concentrates/multi-purpose-insect-killer-24-oz">MP INSECT KILLER</a></strong> are two good choices if you need to spray around the home, out in the yard, on plants which bees like to frequent. Both products do an admirable job of controlling most any insect and though they won&#039;t last more than a day, they won&#039;t have a profound impact on non-target insects that aren&#039;t causing any damage in the first place.</p>
