We Care About The Environment

It is important to minimize potential harm to beneficial creatures like butterflies, honey bees, and fish. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach brings you targeted results with a smaller environmental footprint. Pesticides have been greatly improved in the area of environmental acceptability since the days of long-term residual insecticides such as DDT. All of the insecticides used in our insect control programs are environmentally acceptable. BTI is a larvicide, which utilizes a natural biological active ingredient that is completely non-toxic and very insect specific. Other larvicides such as Altosid and Abate are used to control mosquitoes and disease in drinking water. ULV adulticides can biodegrade completely in as little as 4 hours. Pesticides formulated with residual properties, such as micro encapsulated Lambda-cyhalothrin and Tau-Fluvalinate, are designed to biodegrade more slowly. Highly targeted application permits it to come in contact with more target pests thereby increasing its effectiveness, without environmental harm. The physical fate of pesticides vary due to the influences of site specific conditions such as soil pH, UV radiation, rainfall, microbial action and others. Overall, the pesticides we apply are selectively toxic to target insects, biodegradable with low toxicity. We use ‘the good stuff’ and take great care in its application.
