Kids are particularly vulnerable to harm from pesticides because their immune systems are still developing. They are additionally bound to be exposed to pesticides by crawling on the floor, placing their hands, along with objects in their mouths. As a parent, understanding your pest control choices can limit your family's contact with pesticides. The initial step in reducing your child’s contact with pesticides is to use preventative measures. Mentioned below are some of the things you can take care of for your family’s protection. 



1. Keep mice out of the house by getting rid of their food supply, screening windows and entryways, and fixing other potential entrances. On the off chance that rodents and mice have entered, traps are the most ideal alternative for disposing of rodents without any other unintentional damage. Simply make sure to put traps in regions that are far from children’s reach or in plastic enclosure boxes. 

2. At the point when ants and cockroaches get inside the house, try to pinpoint their entrance and seal them with caulk or weatherstripping. Likewise, get rid of their food source by cleaning all spills and crumbs, putting away food like a sweet dish in the fridge, seal all food compartments, washing food, and fixing any leaks within the house. Another key is not leaving pet food unexposed overnight.

3. Showering ants with soap water or cleaning them up with a sponge won't just kill the ants, but also be sure to wipe down the path that ants follow. On the off chance that you find that pesticides are important, use encased trap stations rather than showers to decrease exposure to pesticides and the danger of poisoning.

4. Lessen the number of mosquitoes in the house by getting rid of stagnant water, particularly around places where children play as well as windows and entryways. Keep kids safe against mosquito bites by dressing them in long jeans and long-sleeved shirts, whenever the weather allows, and cover strollers in mosquito netting. On the off chance that covering isn't a choice, search for less harmful mosquito repellants, for example, citronella oil or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

5. Washing hands with soap and water is the most ideal approach to kill microscopic organisms, prevent diseases, and decrease the chance of microorganisms getting resistant to antimicrobial agents. To wash hands in the best way possible, wet them with clean running water, and scrub well with a bar of soap or regular soap for more than 20 seconds. Make sure to clean the back of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath fingernails. On the off chance that soap and water are not accessible, the U.S. Communities for Disease Control suggests using a liquor based sanitizer that is at the very least 60% liquor. Make sure to teach your kids to properly wash their hands as well as feet after waking up or going to bed. Take a bath every day if possible or on alternate days.

While talking about your child’s health, it is also important to take care of their mental health. If your married life is not going well, contact Ramos Law Group for some peace and legal advice.
