Why Chemicals?

May 12, 2023

Hi, all Kevin Hoss owner of Bullfrog Pest Management here.

I have been asked "why do I spray toxic chemicals in people's houses to get rid of pests?" Well let's see if I can answer that in a way people can understand. Most of us can agree that nature does a pretty good job coming up with natural ways to deter and eliminate pests for example rabbits and deer don't really like petunias not to say they won't eat them just not there favorite. Mice don't like the smell of peppermint and nicotine keeps mosquitoes away. However, those home remedies don't always work, sure you read about the 100 people that swear by putting cotton balls soaked in lavender oil to keep spiders out of there house, but what you don't hear about is the 1000 people that it didn't work for or that didn't want a house that smelled like a spa that called a pest company.

I know I know your thinking "but Kevin I would rather have my house smell like a cheep massage parlor than a chemical factory" or "ya but I don't have to expose my family to harsh pesticides". Well guess what my friends you DON'T, for the most part the pesticides we use these days are safer than ever. The percentage of active ingredient in most pesticides PCOs use is so low you or your dog would have to drink more than what is being used in your entire house to really harm you (not recommending that).
