- Physical removal may involve washing down walls or elimination by natural elements such as air and rain or through the process of hosing. Additionally, loss can occur because of routine traffic and operational activities within the premises.
- Most pesticides decompose when exposed to natural or artificial light.
- All pesticides are effective only at the time of initial application, as they typically become covered with dust over time. However, PLUG IN Pest Free offers consistent protection 24/7.
- Absorption occurs on porous materials, including mud, soil, brick, cement, even damp dust.
- Chemical degradation – especially on very alkaline surfaces.
- Evaporation of the active chemical compound.

Why Pesticides Are Not The Answer
Regardless of the efficacy of a pesticide, it will unavoidably be lost through the following means:
In addition, Pesticides present the following concerns:
- Inhumane Treatment: Pesticides may cause internal bleeding, organ failure, neurological breakdown, seizures, paralysis, convulsions, raspatory failure – all factors leading to a slow painful death.
- Decomposition Process: The use of toxic pesticides may result in the death of rodents and other pests, which can subsequently become trapped within wall cavities. This decomposition process can produce unpleasant odors and has the potential to attract additional vermin, thereby increasing the risk of disease and parasitic infestation.
- Human Health Risks: Pesticides can cause acute poisoning or long-term health effects such as cancer, hormonal disruption, reproductive issues, and neurological disorders, especially in children and farm workers.
- Secondary Poisoning: Animals that consume poisoned pests including pets, birds or predatory mammals can suffer in similar ways, extending the cruelty beyond the intended targets.
- Non-Selective Killing: Pesticides don’t distinguish between target pests and non-target animals, leading to unintended deaths of beneficial or harmless creatures.
- Water Contamination: Pesticides can leach into groundwater or run off into rivers, lakes, and oceans, polluting drinking water and aquatic ecosystems.
- Soil Degradation: Excessive pesticide use can kill beneficial soil organisms, disrupt microbial balance, and reduce soil fertility over time.
- Harm to Pollinators: Many pesticides, especially neonicotinoids, are lethal to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, which are essential for agriculture and ecosystems.
- Development of Resistant Pests: Over time, pests can develop resistance to pesticides, leading to “super pests” that are harder and costlier to control. See this article.
- Food Residue Risks: Trace amounts of pesticides can remain on fruits, vegetables, and grains, posing potential health risks when consumed regularly.
