Natural versus Chemical Pesticides

There are 3 general opinions on natural pesticides versus chemical. They are:

  1. Never Use
  2. Sometimes Use
  3. Always Use

Opinions vary on the information & facts out there. For those of you who want to consider the natural & safe alternative to chemical pesticides read below about a leading company in natural methods to control pest.



SpringStar is one of the very few companies worldwide that is a primary manufacturer and developer of insect pheromone technologies for residential and garden pest control. It focuses solely on products that use nontoxic mechanisms to effectively control pests. The Company is systematically developing new, innovative traps and other pest control products that cannot be found anywhere else.

SpringStar was founded by Michael Banfield, who has spent the greater part of his working life developing pest products based on insect pheromone and biotechnology techniques. Mr. Banfield has been interested in nature and concerned about avoiding pollution and preserving the environment. While other organizations tried to stop, ban or outlaw legal pesticides, Mr. Banfield became interested in developing alternative products to give customers useful choices that did not rely on poisons. That way, people could stop using toxic materials and still effectively control their pest problems.

SpringStar remains a privately-held family business and is located on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington. All of its products are manufactured in the USA.
