When dealing with pests in a home with pets, it’s essential to prioritize pet safety. Pet-friendly pest control methods and products are designed to minimize risks to your furry companions. These methods include using:

• Non-Toxic Treatments: Opt for safe pet treatments, such as bait stations, traps, and diatomaceous earth.

• Clean and Vacuum: Clean and vacuum treated areas to remove residues.
• Wash Pet Bedding: Wash pet bedding thoroughly.

Be aware of common pet poisons and symptoms:
