What is green pest control?
What is green pesticide? Pesticides that are not based on substances containing organic phosphorus will usually be based on "pyrethroids," and in any case, be sure to read what is written on the pesticide label .
Today, there are materials such as diatomaceous earth and other preparations that have no toxicity at all! But it is important to combine them with pyrethroid-based green pesticides to obtain perfect results.
| What should you pay attention to? | The whole truth about green pest control |
|---|---|
| Are you selling "green" or "organic"? | If they don't tell you there are no chemicals – they're lying to you. (Something, you have to kill the pests.) |
| They tell you – "There's no need to leave the house" | Every pesticide operation is intended to kill – even if it is called green or friendly – and every pesticide product lists exactly how long you should leave the sprayed area. |
| Be careful not to give them organic phosphorus. | Green pest control today is a pest control based on the chemical " pyrethroid ". What you should make sure of is that you are not using materials based on organic phosphorus. The name of the pesticide we will use in most pest control is: " Tamprid ". (And it is, by the way, the most advanced and expensive). |

Everyone wants green pest control today
Many people are concerned these days about their impact on the environment in which they live and work, and everyone wants green pest control .
We try to consume organic food and use natural cleaning products, and look for other organic and natural products for our homes. Consumers are also looking for a “greener” service, one that also cares about the environment.
Among these services, one that is receiving a lot of attention these days is safer pest control for the home, especially in a home that has baby reptiles or animals.
In the pest control industry, today everyone offers a "truly green" pest control service while others claim to provide "eco-friendly pest control," "natural pest control," "chemical-free pest control," and "organic pest control."
Because none of these terms are well-defined , there is a great deal of variation in how different companies interpret the terms and how it translates into the service you receive.
Sounds confusing? We know – Mazikis is here to sort things out for you.
Green Pest Control – Price
The price of green pest control depends on the type of pest combined with the size of the apartment . For other pests, go to Mazikis' transparent price list , where you will see each price combined with the size of the apartment.
In the past, we've heard that there are companies that charge "more" for unscented materials and all sorts of things like that. To be honest, it smells a little bad to us.
Green pest control price (cockroaches, ants, fleas)
| Number of rooms | Cockroach extermination price (including ants) | Flea control price |
| One-room apartment | 280 NIS | 300 NIS |
| 2-room apartment | 300 NIS | 350 NIS |

Green pest control – without leaving home
Many of us want to disinfect our homes in the easiest, most convenient, and greenest way possible. Is there such a pest control that allows you not to leave the house at all? Mazikis is here to answer (Spoiler – almost none).
First, it is worth noting that the answer will be divided into 2 parts . The short answer is yes, the longer answer is yes but…
Can leave the house for an hour (animals and baby reptiles 6 hours)
If you want to carry out green pest control (spraying, traps, baits, gel, diatomaceous earth, etc.), you will have to leave the house for an hour (yes, that's what it says on our pesticide products ). This is actually the best method – this way we can use both materials that will kill the insects and all kinds of solutions that will eliminate the pests from the root on their own (true for cockroaches, ants, termites, etc.) as well as complementary solutions such as pheromone traps and glue (for moths or German cockroaches, for example). All kinds of patents like these will help us monitor the problem, and know two or three weeks into the process whether the pest problem has been solved or not.
Can't leave the house at all
It is possible to carry out pest control using only completely natural materials – without any toxins at all – using this method would be excellent for people who are unable to leave the house even for an hour (people in nursing homes, seriously ill people, etc.). If you have the opportunity to leave the house for an hour, we would also recommend that you spray in addition to using the usual gel, traps, and baits.
How long do you have to leave the house for green pest control?
On all the labels of the pesticides we use it is written in black and white that
Leave the sprayed area after the product has dried and ventilate the area for at least an hour after spraying.
That is, places that have not been discussed, such as bedrooms, rooms on the top floor, etc., are not necessary to leave.
You can stay in them as usual.
Since at Mazikis we recommend disinfecting the entire apartment (except for bed bugs, in which case only the infested room should be treated), you can schedule another appointment (usually the next day) to treat the area that we did not treat the first time.
It is important to remember – when exterminating cockroaches and ants, we notice them in certain areas of the house (and they do not always appear throughout the entire house). The danger is that if we do not treat the entire apartment, they will burst through an open door (literally) and come to us in other rooms that have not been exterminated.
That's right, the standard places will be the kitchen , the bathrooms and toilets, the living room, and only then the bedrooms.
In tick control, flea control, and pigeon lice control – there is no possibility of partial control – it simply won't work.

Considering green pest control? Check out the following:
The first thing you should do is check the pest control company's website to make sure they offer the service as green (as opposed to just hearing about it from a sales representative).
Second , you should definitely ask the pest control company what their green or organic pest control service means , and specifically what type of methods and materials they use to control pests.
The bottom line is before you hire a green pest control company:
Be sure to carefully check companies whose advertisements offer pesticides that are completely non-toxic , natural, organic, safe, environmentally friendly, or chemical-free.
Be sure to visit their websites, read reviews, and if possible, talk to a neighbor who may have already purchased the Green Pest Control service for their home. Let's just say that with us at Mizikis – everything is transparent to the hilt.

What are the pesticides used in green pest control?
Green pesticide, as we said, is a pesticide that is still chemical-based but does not contain organic phosphorus.
Always follow the label on the pesticide bottle. Don't just accept the exterminator's answers or say, "I don't understand anything about this."
Everything is written in Hebrew – usually in black and white.
So be attentive to the exterminator on the one hand and insist on looking at the bottle label on the other.
We have briefly written the names of the ingredients here, but if you would like to read the label yourself, visit the page we prepared especially for this – Mazikis' Green Pesticides.
Most of the pesticides we use in a short table:
| Name of the pesticide | Against what (and who) |
|---|---|
| Temprid / Drucker | We will use the pesticide called Tamfrid against – cockroaches, ants, cockroaches in sewers, bed bugs, food insects We will use Drakkar against cockroaches, ants and sometimes flying insects (general spraying), food insects |
| senator | We used it for bed bugs in the past (it was replaced by the friendlier Tampid) – today for severe cases of German cockroaches and sometimes for septic tanks. |
| Delta Forte Sanitation \ Admiral Super \ Barkat \ Impact | We will use these substances for fleas (where Impact is for external use only for severe cases) – all of these substances contain IGR (to kill eggs). |
| BUG – Mosquitoes | The only substance that works on mosquitoes – gives peace of mind for between 30-45 days |
| Dino Play / Master Play | Combined with sugar – gives peace from flies for two weeks – a month For pest control before an event that involves flies – it is advisable to use Drucker. |
| Cockroach gel, cockroach bait traps, ant gel, ant granules \ diatomaceous earth \ various traps for rodents \ flies \ mosquito insects \ bedbugs and more.. | With these materials, there is no need to leave the house at all – and we also sell them in our pest control store . |
Green pest control and animals
It is best for the animals to leave the sprayed area for 6 hours, even if the pesticide is listed for an hour.
As exterminators for the Safari in Ra'g and the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem, we spent many hours with animals and various veterinarians, learning and experimenting with various materials (in addition to the private clients who have been with us for the past 14 years).
So remember – the rule of thumb – 6 hours (for full details, we wrote you an entire article about pest control with animals )
| Pest control in the home when there are animals, babies, or a pregnant woman | How long should you leave the house for? |
|---|---|
| Newborn babies | 24 hours |
| Reptile babies, pregnant women, cats and large-medium dogs | 6 hours |
| Small dogs | 12 hours |
| A parrot, hamster or any other small animal | 24 hours |
| Is it necessary to leave the house to exterminate rodents? | not. |
What do you do if you can't take animals outside the house?
I am also the father of a cat (and a puppy) and I have also sprayed in places where the dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, or parrot were in rooms that were not sprayed.
If you are unable to take your beloved animals outside the house , you should leave them in a room that is not being sprayed, with an open window and of course food and water for a few hours. – This is definitely possible .
Is green pest control more expensive than other pest control?
The price of green pesticides varies from company to company. There are expensive pesticides and cheap pesticides on the market .
Both of these fall under the definition of " green pest control ."
The difference between them, beyond price, is significant.
One of the most important things in pest control is the " residual " component (from the word "residue").
The higher the residual component, the longer the effect of the substance will last. Unlike volatile substances such as cheap pesticides or aerosols that can be bought at the supermarket, all K-types.
Residual pesticides will provide a broader and longer-term response than non-residual pesticides.
And the difference? Heaven and earth.
If you want to rid yourself of cockroaches, ants, and other pests, ask the exterminator to use substances that have as long a residual effect as possible.
Is green pesticide less powerful than other pesticides?
Green pest control with the ingredients mentioned above is excellent.
Within the vast variety of materials available on the market, at Musicis we use the most advanced, expensive and best materials in order to provide you with the best results.
What about organic phosphorus?
Organic phosphorus-based pesticides are still sold in stores.
Why? Because organic phosphorus is still used in agriculture .
Therefore, it is very important in any pest control performed on your home to check what substance the exterminator is using.
Check the label on the pesticide bottle and ask for an explanation of where the pesticide is being applied in your home.
In music, these are the most basic things – we will show you in advance what material we will use,
We will take you hand in hand inside your apartment and explain to you where the spraying is performed and or the gels and baits are placed.
