Pest Control Safety: Protecting Your Family and Pets

Control pests, safely

Pest control products are useful, but they must be used safely — especially around children, pets, and food. A few essential habits keep everyone protected. Always read and follow the product label; it takes priority over general advice.

Always read the label

The label tells you how to use a product, how much, precautions, and safety information. Read it before first use, every time — never use a product without a clear label.

Choose safer options where possible

With children and pets at home, prefer poison-free and humane options — electronic repellents, traps, barriers, and natural methods — before harsh chemicals where you can.

Keep products away from children and pets

• Store all pest control products locked away, out of reach and sight.
• Never transfer products into food or drink containers.
• Place traps and devices where children and pets can’t reach or tamper with them.

Protect food and surfaces

Keep products and treatments away from food, food-prep surfaces, and utensils. Cover or remove food before any treatment, and clean surfaces afterwards as directed.

Handle chemical products carefully

• Wear any protective equipment the label specifies (gloves, etc.).
• Use in ventilated areas and avoid breathing sprays.
• Wash hands thoroughly after use.
• Follow dosage exactly — more is not better.

Use electronic devices safely

• Choose devices with proper electrical safety (BIS where applicable).
• Keep plug-in devices out of children’s reach.
• Check ultrasonic devices are suitable for homes with small pets (hamsters, rabbits).

Store and dispose responsibly

Keep products in their original, labelled containers in a safe place. Dispose of empty containers and any chemical products following the label and local guidance — never down drains or near water sources.

Know first aid and emergency steps

Read the label’s first-aid section before use, keep product information handy, and in case of accidental contact or ingestion, follow the label and seek medical help immediately.
