In a world where “safe” and “natural” have become buzzwords tossed around by countless companies, how do you know who to trust? At Dr. Killigan’s, we don’t just slap a label on our products and call it a day. We’re here to pull back the curtain, show you the truth behind our formulations and explain exactly why and how we’re different.
Because when it comes to protecting your home and family, we believe you deserve solutions that are genuinely safe—and lethally effective against pests.
Values: Transparency, safety and the truth about "safe" claims
Dr. Killigan's values: Pest control solutions that are 100% eco-friendly, 100% effective and 100% sophisticated. Dr. Killigan's work will continue until household pests, unsafe toxins and unsightly remedies are a thing of the past.
At Dr. Killigan’s, we believe that trust begins with transparency. Our ingredients—both active and inert—are meticulously selected to meet the highest safety standards. Every single product contains ingredients listed on the EPA's minimum-risk list, and we proudly display our complete ingredient index on every product. No hidden chemicals. No vague labels. Just a commitment to empowering our customers with the truth about what they’re bringing into their homes.
Note: Active ingredients in our products are listed under 40 CFR 152.25(f)(1). Inert ingredients are outlined in 40 CFR 180.950. For more details, see the EPA's guide on minimum risk pesticides.
The problem with “safe” claims: Us vs. them
Consumers can be misled by companies touting "safe" and "natural" products, only to discover later that these claims were not fully truthful. Take, for instance, the case of Roundup, a glyphosate-based herbicide once marketed as “biodegradable” and “safer than mowing.” In 1996, the New York State Attorney General sued Monsanto for false advertising, revealing that these claims were baseless.
Sadly, this kind of greenwashing persists today. Some companies continue to mask harmful chemicals behind vague language or proprietary formulas, leaving consumers to unknowingly expose their families and pets to toxic substances.
Consider lambda-cyhalothrin, a widely used synthetic pyrethroid insecticide often praised for its effectiveness in agriculture and residential pest control. While it is known as being potent against a broad spectrum of pests, it is also documented as being "moderately toxic."
Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to lambda-cyhalothrin can adversely affect the nervous system, immune function and reproductive health in mammals.
Products containing lambda-cyhalothrin are sometimes labeled as “safe” for use in homes and gardens. However, according to a PubMed study, prolonged exposure to this chemical has been associated with health risks—particularly for children and pets, who are more vulnerable to toxic residues left on treated surfaces.
At Dr. Killigan’s, we strive to offer a transparent and trustworthy alternative to these practices. Our products, when used as directed, are genuinely non-toxic and proven to be effective. By harnessing nature’s power, we provide solutions that protect your family without compromising on safety or truth.
At Dr. Killigan's, our values are clear: Pest control solutions that are 100% eco-friendly, 100% effective and 100% sophisticated. Our mission is to ensure household pests, unsafe toxins and unsightly remedies become relics of the past.
Vision: Redefining pest control with confidence & peace
Dr. Killigan's vision: To restore confidence, peace and control to every person who finds unwanted pests in their home. Keeping you and your family safe from pests and toxins is the name of the bug-killing game.
The foundation of peace: Safety without compromise
Pest control has sometimes relied on chemical-laden solutions that jeopardize human health and the environment. For example, there are household bug sprays that contain pyrethrins, which are plant-derived chemicals that "can cause life-threatening breathing problems if they are breathed in."
Conventional pest control products often come with a list of precautions: wear gloves, long sleeves and protective eyewear; avoid contact with skin or clothing; and wash thoroughly after use. These warnings highlight the dangers of potential toxic exposure through skin absorption, inhalation and accidental ingestion.
Stronger insecticides—often marketed for their potency—contain substances like carbamates, organophosphates and paradichlorobenzenes (commonly found in mothballs). According to a Mount Sinai article, these ingredients are linked to significant health issues, including neurological and respiratory damage. These chemicals stand in stark contrast to solutions where home safety and peace of mind should reign supreme.
At Dr. Killigan’s, we envisioned a better way—solutions that are highly effective yet free of environmentally hazardous chemicals. With our products, there is no requirement for gloves, long sleeves or protective eyewear. Our products pose little to no risk to your health or the environment—and leave behind no lingering odors.
Non-toxic solutions for lasting peace of mind
Unlike conventional pesticides that rely on neurotoxins, Dr. Killigan’s uses innovative, nature-inspired methods to eliminate pests without putting your family at risk. For example:
- The Fly Inn uses mechanical control methods to trap and eliminate pests without relying on chemicals, ensuring they cannot develop resistance.
- Six Feet Under, formulated with essential oils—like clove and cinnamon— dehydrates pests on contact, providing a lethal yet safe solution for your home.
These innovations provide more than pest control; they restore confidence, cultivate peace and offer long-term protection for your family and pets.
Vision realized: A safer, pest-free sanctuary
At Dr. Killigan’s, our vision extends beyond eliminating pests—it’s about empowering individuals to reclaim control of their spaces. By moving away from toxic chemicals and embracing non-toxic, nature-inspired alternatives, we’re creating homes where safety and tranquility coexist.
With each product we create, we take another step toward a future where pest control no longer compromises your peace, health or the planet—redefining what it means to live pest-free and sustainably.
Mission: Transforming pest control with nature's brilliance
Dr. Killigan's mission: To search the world for the most effective pest control solutions provided by nature…so you don’t have to.
For too long, pest control has meant choosing between effectiveness and safety, prompting families to bring harmful chemicals into their homes. At Dr. Killigan’s, our mission is to change that. We scour the globe for innovative, nature-inspired pest control methods that, when used as directed, eliminate pests without compromising your health or the environment.
Innovating beyond tradition
For decades, many pest control companies have relied on synthetic chemicals that can pose significant risks to people, pets and ecosystems. Dr. Killigan’s challenges this approach by embracing advancements in science and nature’s own defenses to create solutions that are lethal to pests and gentle on your home.
Rather than settling for "good enough," we are committed to redefining pest control standards—crafting products that protect your family and the planet while delivering uncompromising effectiveness. For example:
- Dust to Dust, a biodegradable insect powder powered by essential oil nanotechnology, delivers long-lasting protection that’s safe for indoor and outdoor use.
- Sweet Surrender, a plant-based attractant, features a specialized fermentation process using California grapes to naturally and effectively target pests while keeping your home environment safe.
