Dangers of Pesticides

If your pest control technicians looks like the picture above when they come…something is very wrong!

After World War II, science and industry began to manufacture an amazing array of chemicals never before seen in the natural world.

It is becoming apparent that many of these chemicals are unproven as to their effect on the ecology of our planet and the health of our children.

These chemicals are cascading through our water, soil, air and into our bodies at an alarming rate. Call the team at Nature's Way Natural Pest Control Inc to learn more!

Chemistry: This is a brand new class of chemistry called phenyl pyrazoles. In chemistry, a pyrazole is a five-sided molecular ring. In this case, the ring is made of three carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms.

What they’ve done is bind chlorine and fluorine atoms to this ring and sent it out into the world like Frankenstein. Both chlorine and fluorine are diatomic, yellowish-green, poisonous gases. They were commonly referred to as “nerve gas” in World War I. Both of these elements combine readily with living tissue.

Chemistry: Imidacloprid is currently the most widely used insecticide in the world. This is another new chemistry in the Class neonicotinoids, and cutely referred to in the industry as “Nicky’s.” What they’ve with done is taken nicotine sulfides and bound them to the six-sided carbon ring, (which is the very building brick of life), in a string of complicated heterocyclic compounds.

The type of chemical bonding used makes it easy for animals to absorb this poison. As if that wasn’t bad enough they added some chlorine gas, a.k.a. The nerve gas of World War I, to the nicotine, making it even lethal. DDT was a chlorinated hydrocarbon; this new beauty is chlorinated nicotine.

Chemistry: This is the chemistry that has replaced the organophosphates like Dursban™ that have been banned for use in the home. These chemicals are roughly based on the natural insecticide pyrethrum which is produced naturally by certain flowers.

Natural pyrethrum contains six different esters that have insecticidal activity. Collectively, these six esters are known as pyrethrums. Synthetic pyrethrins are manmade chemicals based on the natural pyrethrins. Although there are many different kinds of synthetic pyrethrins, (always look for a thrin ending on the name of the active ingredient, such as deltamethrin, cypermethrin, etc.).

These man-made chemicals often contain, piper butyl butoxide technical, or PBO, a which s a very powerful, known carcinogen, (and actually a product made from sesame seeds). However, the main problem with synthetic pyrethrins is that chemically they act to mimic the female hormone estrogen.

The fear is that long term exposure to pyrethrins could lead to abnormal cell growth, (cancer) in female breasts and even the development of breasts in men.
