Join us as we look at a few more important facts about pest control in Montana.
A Brief History Lesson On Pest Control
There has always been some form of pest control in Montana. If we go all the way back to when Native Americans dominated the landscape, we see plants being used as repellents. We also see Native Americans using techniques to protect food from pest infestation, such as placing granary baskets on raised platforms.
As history advanced and technology advanced with it, pest control started to become synonymous with insecticides. This only happened for a brief time in the 1900s. At the turn of the century, pest control businesses began using pest prevention as the primary means of addressing pest problems rather than treatments to exterminate pests. While we still use insecticides today, the products and the methods are vastly different.
