I have information...............
They are MARGINALLY effective. AT BEST.
Bugs are known as "Pests". The only way to defeat a "Pest" is to be a bigger "Pest". This CAN NOT be done nicely and gently. So as I said.....
Did you not mean to say "Eco-Friendly"? The "Proper" term.
For a Pesticide to be "Green", it would NOT EXIST. Green means allowing the Earth to live as it is Designed to do. And Pesticides DO NOT fit into that equation at all.
Having said this...I miss DDT!

Depends on the pest.......Green/eco-friendly pest removers:
Snakes
Skunks
You get the idea, keep buying larger animals that eat the smaller animals. Skunks are great for grub removal, once the skunks eats all of your little pests get a human to remover the skunk and repeat the process when needed.

I almost forgot about bats, the added bonus if you build a good bat house is that you can use their do do as fertilizer.
WOW, Malco and I agree on something Green!

That is not exactly correct, there are green alternatives that utilize botanical insecticides. These botanicals are derived from plants oils which are natural defense that have been used by plants for centuries.

I am not sure what you mean by "green pest control hit the mice". What i do know is you can trap mice and release them unharmed, which is green.

Even the 'green pest companies' don't know what is green or not. As far as plants, some of the most poisonous substances known to man are from plants.
