What is Green Pest Control? Defining a Better Approach to Your Pest Control Problems

What is Green Pest Control?

• Defining a Better Approach to Your Pest Control
  Problems

2
Back in the Day

• There was a time when a spray can at the hardware
  store could fix almost everything, but that kind
  of approach just doesnt make sense anymore.
  Sure, they may treat the problem, but the reality
  is that theyre poisons that can be dangerous.
  There are better ways to deal with pest problems
  today.

Integrated Pest Management

• As you work to find a green pest control company,
  IPM, or integrated pest management, is one term
  youre going to hear again and again. At the
  heart of this method is prevention, then if that
  doesnt work, the company can turn to other,
  low-impact methods to help you tackle the
  problem.

Doing What You Can

• An IPM approach starts with a careful inspection
  of your home. Your green pest control
  professional will point out any potential problem
  areas like unsealed parts of your home to help
  keep the bugs and other problem animals out.

5
The Next Step

• Should it ever become necessary, a pest control
  professional may determine that you need
  pesticide help. When used, though, theyre
  carefully applied in accordance with EPA
  guidelines to help keep you and your family safe.
