Sprays for Effective Pest Control

Pests sprays is a combination of chemicals that are used to repel, kill, control, and prevent pests. There are a multitude of sprays available on the market today for all sorts of home pest control. These sprays are specifically made to rid your home, office, or yard of the pests that are wreaking havoc.

There are sprays designed for flowers only, certain types of vegetable plants, trees, and bushes. Each one is classified into a category to meet specific needs. You also have the option of choosing a green pest control orchemical sprays. Organic chemical types of insect spray are a natural effort in repelling pests.

Certain insects such as aphids, bagworms, cutworms, thrips, Japanese beetles, leaf miners, mealy bugs, whiteflies, scale insects and crawlers thrive on flowers. Each type of insect spray usually lists the particular types of bugs it repels. Some plants can be placed near other plants to encourage insects to feed off of them instead of the plants that you are trying to debug.

However, many of these sprays must be applied periodically in order to have maximum effectiveness. They must be reapplied after an area has been watered, or after a rain in order to achieve maximum results of removal of pests.

They can cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract due to toxic ingredients. However, if you should accidentally become sprayed in your eyes, rinse with water for about 15 to 20 minutes and then contact a poison control centerand/or doctor.

If inhaled or swallowed, call a poison control center immediately. Avoid induced vomiting unless directed to do so by a licensed expert. Be careful when applying these sprays to the plants too. Excessive amounts of spray can damage the plant and possibly kill the plants as well as the insects. Follow all directions and do not apply excessively.
