The EPA Environmental Protection Agency measures toxicity of every substance in the United States, including plain dirt. Substances with higher toxicity rates are labeled “danger” The next level down “warning” Then we have lower levels such as “caution #3″, “caution #4″
This has nothing to do with whether the substance is natural or organic. Many natural substances are very toxic. Toxicity Ratings are based on whether or not your body can break down and metabolize the measured substance without damage to the host.
- DANGER
indicates a highly toxic. A taste to a teaspoonful taken by mouth could kill an average sized adult.
WARNING indicates that the product is moderately toxic. As little as a teaspoonful to a tablespoon by mouth could kill an average sized adult.
CAUTION indicates that the product is slightly toxic. An ounce to more than a pint taken by mouth could kill an average sized adult.
In order to demonstrate how easily EPA toxicity labeling can go unnoticed. We have linked several pages for viewing of several pesticides and safe pesticide practices.

Animal Control
In regards to pest in the home, most people will readily express their concern for wanting the pest dead. Understandable, insects and wild animals are highly recognized as transmitters of disease, germs, parasites and virus. Using the wrong pest control technique will almost always display negative results. When animals enter our homes, rarely are they there to cause you bodily harm, and simply killing the animal rarely if ever is needed. Removing and relocating the animal is ideal. Stress and shock can kill some of these smaller animal giving a negative result. odor, parasites, etc. Depending on the animal at hand we use covered live traps, and securing body traps. These traps isolate the animal and keeps the animal calm by immobilizing the animal and keeping its vision covered. Providing as minimal interaction with humans is ideal. In beautiful Pennsylvania, relocation to an ideal habitat is always a first option. With several forest and wood lands we not only relocate the animal from your home we relocate the animal an average of ten miles away from trapping location. Allowing you the peace and comfort of home. While allowing the animal to continue life in the wild.
