Our environmentally friendly solution

 In today's world, sustainable practices are crucial for preserving our environment, and that includes pest control. Our environmentally friendly pest control company offers a revolutionary mole eradication solution tailored for farms and households. Moles can wreak havoc on gardens and fields, damaging crops and disrupting the ecosystem. Traditional pest control methods often rely on harmful chemicals that can pose risks to pets, wildlife, and the surrounding environment. 


Our innovative approach does not make use of any repellents, harsh chemicals or inhumane traps. We use our patterned liquid gas to ensuring that moles are eradicated effectively without harming other wildlife or polluting the soil. We do not manage moles, and let them re-infiltrate once the repellent is gone. Our method not only protects your property but also maintains the ecological balance necessary for thriving ecosystems, since our poison is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Our liquid gas targets the vertebrate’s respiratory system, with no secondary poisoning.


For farmers, our solution means safeguarding your crops while adhering to sustainable farming practices. Unlike, aluminum phosphide and the gas it forms which is a risk to water sources, our chemical have no secondary poisoning. Aluminum phosphide can remain in the ground for an extended period, where our gas only remains active for up to three days before it breaks down. For homeowners, it offers peace of mind, knowing that your pets and family are safe from toxic substances. With no secondary poisoning from our gas, the pets are safe, even if do get hold off a surfaced mole. 


Aluminum phosphide presents a threat of water pollution, which is a major worry for farmers, and industry experts involved in pest management activities. If aluminum phosphide interacts with water or moisture content in the environment, it emits phosphine gas. In addition to this gas, release residual aluminum elements may seep into water bodies in areas where disposal practices are inadequate or where there is runoff. This pollution can have impacts, on nearby ecosystems put wildlife at risk and affect the quality of water used for farming or human consumption. 


Farmers and pest control professionals need to adhere to rules for getting rid of waste products properly to make sure that any leftover chemicals are contained and kept away from water sources. The use of these measures helps prevent pollution that is important, for preserving the environment and safeguarding public health.


The dangers of aluminum phosphide

Aluminum phosphide is frequently employed as a fumigant in pest management within environments; however, it carries notable risks that individuals in the business and farming realms should take into account diligently. When aluminum phosphide is exposed to moisture, it discharges phosphine gas. A substance that effectively eradicates pests but presents a threat to both humans and animals alike. Inhaling phosphine gas can result in breathing difficulties along with symptoms such, as nausea and dizziness; in more severe instances even leading to fatalities. Working with aluminum phosphide without observing safety precautions may result in poisoning and put humans at risk along, with the neighboring communities and livestock. 


To reduce these dangers effectively and reliably prevent harm to people and the environment caused by exposure to chemicals and pesticides it is crucial for companies and farmers to follow safety protocols. These measures include using gear such as masks and gloves ensuring proper ventilation in work areas providing comprehensive training for all  handling these substances. Equally important is the correct storage and disposal of these chemicals to avoid contact, with them.

Dangers of moles

Moles can be harmful to gardens, lawns, and even infrastructure like roads. They damage gardens by uprooting plants, disrupting irrigation systems, and reducing earthworm populations. The mounds they create can smother grass and make the ground uneven, posing a risk of falls for people and livestock. Lawns also suffer as mole tunnels leave ridges and mounds that disrupt the landscape. On a larger scale, moles can weaken roads, walls, brick paving and tar surfaces by burrowing underneath. Additionally, moles may attract rodents and snakes, creating further hazards for property and safety. Lastly, moles can be aggressive and may cause injuries to anyone who accidentally disturbs them by touching active tunnels.


Protect your home, business and institution from structural damage

Moles can cause structural damage to a home by undermining the foundation through their tunneling. This can lead to cracks in walls, uneven floors, and other issues. It has been proven that moles can demolish cement with their teeth, and can lift stones and heavy objects many times its own weight. Moles dig tunnels that can cause soil erosion, which can weaken the foundation, as ground are removed under your foundation to create space. Once the moles have been eradicated, the tunnels will collapse, causing instability under your foundation.  Once a colony of moles are digging around your house, they're displacing the dirt and creating air pockets that can fill with water.  Dune moles can excavate up to 20 meters per day, leaving them unattended, they excavate meters under your house, swimming pools and other structures on your premises. 


Health hazards you do not want to ignore

Moles can pose health risks, and only in rare cases transmit rabies. The insect parasites that moles carry are more dangerous and likely pass from fleas or ticks to humans or pets, like Lyme disease etc. Dune moles can cause massive ground instability with their excavation, make it hard to see tunnel systems under lawns. These can lead to ground giving away, when not expecting it. These can lead to breaking of ankles, legs and even hips to those with weaker bone structures like the elderly. This also also a huge concern for those playing sports on sport grounds, elderly on golf course and kids playing on public fields. 


The hidden dangers of DIY pest control

While there are numerous DIY pest control solutions available, they often fall short when it comes to eradication and control of moles. Over-the-counter sprays and traps may provide temporary relief, but they rarely address the root of the problem.  Traps are very inhumane solution, repellents sometimes just makes the moles to close of the tunnel system and create a new sets of tunnels and thus, making the original problem even worse. Purchasing expensive solar pest repellent devices will not chase moles away. They keep tunneling around these devices. Home remedies like garlic and all other types of roots and bulbs will not chase moles away, it forms part of their diet.  


Watering of tunnels is the worst of all remedies. Moles are good swimmers and it is documented that moles will swim to move from one food source to another if need be. Moles can create secondary tunnels in matter of seconds. If a mole detect water in the tunnel system, it will just evade. The water can eventually weaken your building structure.  


Protecting your reputation and business integrity

As an home and business owner, you want your place to be a welcoming and safe space. Your reputation and business brand is important. You want your guest and clients to feel welcome and return again in the future. Having a unsightly lawn and garden might damage your reputation. Huge dune heaps might just scare off people that had a bad experience with injuries and just idea of chemicals that might have been used. Establishments that attract clients to their lovely lawns and gardens, can be dealt a heavy blow, due to negative comments and online reviews.   

Hotels, resorts, and healthcare institutions rely heavily on their reputation. Negative reviews due to pest sightings can lead to financial losses and long-term damage to a brand. By prioritizing pest control, you send a message to your guests or patients that you value cleanliness and their well-being


Fun facts about moles

  • Moles have been found to tolerate higher levels of carbon dioxide than other mammals, because their blood cells have a special form of hemoglobin that has a higher affinity to oxygen than other forms. In addition, moles use oxygen more effectively by reusing the exhaled air, and can survive in low-oxygen environments such as burrows
  •  In cold and/or dry weather, moles will often dig deeper into the ground, following their food source.
  • Moles use tunnels so that they can travel, but it’s more than just a highway for them. They have bedrooms and birthing areas as well as kitchens.
