What is this site about?
It is simple really: Pest prevention principles and practices! This site has one goal, and one goal only, and that is to teach you the principles of pest prevention. It is born out of long years of experience by a pest control operator who came to realize that the same situations arose time and time again with regularity, and could be predicted with ease. These problems were related to human activity, and could be avoided by human activity with less expense than repeated pesticide applications. While this is primarily an information website, we do offer services in our local area.
Our Mission
It is our mission to bring you the best pest control information on the internet! BugsAndWeeds.com is about controlling pests in the least costly, least toxic way possible. It is a guide to green pest control, beginning where all pest control should begin, with pest prevention. We also have information on other types of green pest control like; natural biological pest control using native predators, and botanical pest control using materials derived from plants. This site is not just a loosely knit series of articles, although each can stand on it’s own, it is a unified green pest control system with prevention at the base, to help you stop weeds before they get started, and prevent bugs at home.
Our emphasis is pest prevention, and how to do it. The Bugs and Weeds website has a pest prevention program that you can follow, with step by step, page after page of information and instructions to help you get the job done.
We believe that pest prevention is the greenest form of pest control, even greener than using organic or botanical products. Why? Well, it’s simple. Prevention doesn’t require the shipping of raw material, the manufacture of the product, the labeling and packaging of a product, the shipment of the product to market, the warehousing of a product, usually in a climate controlled conditions, all of which require energy! See some of the reasons at: Why Is Prevention The Greenest Pest Control?
Most of the methods described on this site require little or no materials or energy, other than your own energy, and an occasional tube of caulk!
