Before any pesticide can be sold in Canada, it must undergo a comprehensive scientific review and risk assessment by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). Pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny by Health Canada than other regulated products, including pharmaceuticals. Pesticides will only be registered for use by Health Canada if there is reasonable certainty of no harm to human health or the environment.

Protecting your home or business from pests doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment.

ServicesThe Benefits of Environmental Pest Control
Environmentally friendly pest control does more than limit chemical use—it promotes a safer space for families, employees, pets, and the local environment. Whether you’re protecting a home or a business, modern green pest solutions use innovative, sustainable techniques to prevent and manage pest issues effectively.
One of the most reliable methods is Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a well-rounded approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of infestations—like food sources, moisture, and shelter. By tackling these triggers early, IPM helps maintain long-term pest control without compromising safety or sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Pest Control Methods
At Muskoka Pest Control, we incorporate a range of eco-friendly techniques into our IPM programs to effectively manage pest populations without unnecessary chemical exposure.
Environmental Pest Control
When pest issues arise, Muskoka Pest Control turns to eco-conscious solutions that are both effective and low-impact, including:
Plant-Based Repellents – We apply naturally derived products like pyrethrin-based dusts to help keep pests out. These repellents disrupt insect nervous systems but are safe for people and pets, making them a smart, non-toxic option.
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) – These advanced treatments target pests at the developmental level, disrupting their life cycles and preventing reproduction. By focusing on specific biological processes, IGRs offer precise pest control without relying on heavy pesticide use.
Sanitation and upkeep
Smart, Sustainable Pest Prevention Starts with Cleanliness and Care
Two of the most impactful eco-friendly pest control strategies are maintaining cleanliness and ensuring proper upkeep of your property:
Cleanliness & Sanitation – A tidy space goes a long way in deterring pests. By removing food crumbs, eliminating standing water, securing garbage, and storing food in sealed containers, you significantly reduce the factors that attract pests in the first place.
Proactive Property Maintenance – Routine checks for cracks, leaks, and other potential access points help block pests before they get inside. Sealing gaps with durable, weather-resistant materials and maintaining proper door and window seals are key steps in long-term prevention.
