Today we’re talking about child-safe approaches to pest management. A few months back, my sister’s toddler got into a cabinet where she kept some pretty harsh chemical pesticides. Nothing bad happened, thank goodness, but it was definitely a wake-up call for our whole family. Kids are curious little creatures who touch everything and put half of what they touch into their mouths. That’s just what they do. So when we have bugs or other pests in our homes, we need solutions that won’t put our little ones at risk. I’ve spent years trying different methods to keep the creepy crawlies away without bringing dangerous chemicals into my home. Some worked great, others not so much. But I’ve learned a ton along the way that I’m excited to share with you. Why Child-Safe Approaches? Let’s talk about why child-safe pest control matters in the first place.

When my sister built her custom home last year, she kept calling me about every little decision. “Should the kitchen island be four feet or five feet?” “Do you think I need a mudroom?” It might sound exhausting, but that’s exactly what makes a custom home special – it’s built just for you. According to the National Association of Home Builders, only about 20% of new homes built in America are truly custom. That’s because most people go with production homes or semi-custom options.
