Pet & Family-Safe Pest Control

How Ehlers Protects the People & Pets in Your Home

Effective, Pet-Friendly Pest Treatment Process from Ehlers

Solving a pest problem shouldn’t mean putting your family or pets at risk. Ehlers uses environmentally responsible methods and considers low-impact options first, like mechanical devices and targeted traps, before turning to broader treatment. When additional products are needed, our certified technicians apply them with precision, targeting the specific source of the problem instead of treating your whole home as a blanket precaution.

What "Pet Safe" actually means

Family & Pet-Friendly Pest Treatments

No pesticide is risk-free if misapplied or if a pet or child comes into contact with it before it has properly dried or settled.

Responsible pet-safe pest control means:

  • Selecting products with low mammalian toxicity, formulated to target insects while posing minimal risk to people and animals
  • Applying products in targeted areas where pests are active, not broadcasting chemicals broadly across living spaces
  • Using the minimum amount of product necessary to solve the problem
  • Being fully transparent with you about what’s being used and why
  • Giving you clear, specific guidance on re-entry times for your pets and children

Any company that can’t answer your questions about what they’re applying in your home isn’t a company you should let through the door.

Ehlers 4-Step Process to Pest Control

  1. Consult – We consult with you to better understand your unique situation and needs. Our Milwaukee-based exterminators take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns before moving forward.
  2. Assess – A comprehensive inspection is performed to detect structural and environmental issues conducive to pests. Our pest control exterminators identify and evaluate the reasons for your pest problem. We’ll then determine the best method for your situation and resolve the problem quickly and responsibly.
  3. Respond – Our pest extermination specialists implement a custom solution that best suits your needs concerning the safety of your family, pets and the environment. Our focus starts with sanitation, exclusion and environmental modification. We consider the effectiveness of using low-impact methods such as mechanical devices, nontoxic traps and pet-friendly pest control products first, thus minimizing the impact on the environment. If additional products are needed, applications are carefully made targeting key areas with precision.
  4. Evaluate – Our pest control specialists carefully monitor and measure the results of our work to ensure your program is working. We follow up with you to communicate what was done, how it’s working and what to expect. You will be informed of any property repair or sanitation recommendations as well. As always, your Ehlers pest control specialist will take the time to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have.
