Non Toxic 100% Pet Safe Pest Control

*Please cover any aquatic pets e.g. fish tank*

Our general insect treatment uses non toxic pest control products which targets common household insects. From flies, spiders, mosquitoes, common roaches, wasps and more. The toxicity is similar to products you use every day around the house such as dishwashing liquid or hand wash. The product has no colour or odour and is 100% pet friendly. It’s so safe, we are able to treat not only externally, but also internally. In fact, we recommend getting both areas treated. Being a water based contact surface spray, the more area we cover, the better the result. You are able to re-enter the building within 1 hour with an average drying time of approx. 15-20 minutes. There is no need to leave the premises but due to your wet area floors becoming slippery, we do recommend vacating the building while we work inside.

The products we use are biodegradable so they don’t accumulate in the environment. So not only are they non toxic, but also Eco friendly as well. Greedy Gecko also uses pump action back packs to apply our general insect treatment. This allows us to navigate through your property without pulling hoses and also not using loud generators that use fuel, which is also eco friendly.

Eco friendly products. We get a lot of white tip spiders, red backs, centipedes and earwigs, which is a concern with kids and pets. Been using them for a few years and always great service, great product and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Greedy Gecko was recommended to us by friends for insect treatment on our house a couple of years ago and we have not looked back. They come out when they say they will and all the staff I have spoken to have been lovely. Craig, Kylie in the office to Kym who does our treatment are so easy to deal with and very accommodating. Thanks Greedy Gecko for your excellent service.

After 2 unsuccessful treatments with other companies I was told to try Greedy gecko, I instantly noticed the difference and was finding dead spiders everywhere within an hour. Communication was excellent which us important to me. The technician was on time, professional, and did a very thorough job on what was a very hot day. I was very impressed - I will be using Greedy gecko again :)

Our Non Toxic Pest Control Treatment

To truly understand the nature of our treatment, we go back to where it all began, Pyrethrins.

These are natural insecticides that are produced from the Chrysanthemum plant family that are either dried or crushed with the oils making solvents. They have an active ingredient of approx. 30%. These solvents are Pyrethrins which in a domestic or commercial situation, only 0.3% of the overall treatment is used. This compound is used to control flies, spiders, mosquitoes, cockroaches, beetles, human lice and stored product pests within Australia.

Pyrethroids

The semisynthetic derivatives of Chrysanthemum plant acids have been developed and are call “Pyrethroids”. These tend to be more effective than natural Pyrethrins and are less toxic to mammals. Two commonly used synthetic pyrethroids are Deltamethrin and Bifenthrin. One of the uses for Deltamethrin is for quarantine in the export of wild flowers from Western Australia and Bifenthrin is registered for use on apples, bananas, carnations, cotton, pears and roses.

The LD50 Scale

  • Non toxic pest control Greedy Gecko graphOne method for recording the relative toxicity of a pesticide is by evaluating its LD50.
  • It is measured by milligrams of chemical to kilograms of body weight. An average household (5 litres) will contain no more than 2 grams which, being biodegradable, will break down over a period of time.
  • In general, the smaller the LD50 value, the more toxic the chemical. The opposite is also true; the larger the LD50 value, the lower its toxicity.
