Pest Control Industry Turning to Green Methods

Industry Demands for more and Greener ways to control pests In NYC.

Environmentally friendly or “green” exterminating services, dubbed integrated pest management, are popping up across the country. Companies like Beyond Pest Control Inc., who mostly works with residential and commercial clients, is in high demand for these eco-friendly services.

Traditional pest control companies run around spraying harmful pesticides. We’re using traps to find out where there are animals, insects and other pests and we seal holes and areas to prevent them from entering building structures.

We use food grade pesticides which mean they can be ingested by humans and their pets without harm.

Instead of using harmful chemicals, we investigate how and why pests infiltrate a building structure. Then we rely on detergent, water, proofing, vacuum cleaners and low-or no-toxicity products to fight the specific problem. Beyond Pest Control Inc. avoids using highly toxic methods.

About two-thirds of the 400 exterminating companies that responded to a survey by Pest Control Technology magazine last year claimed to offer some sort of integrated pest management services and we are included in that list. We use nature’s natural made insecticides. The pesticides that Beyond Pest Control uses are as harmful to us as salt. It's a better approach to pest control for the health of the home, the environment and the family, said Cindy Mannes, a spokeswoman for the National Pest Management Association, the trade organization of the $6.4 billion exterminating industry.

“Most consumers are not aware that green services even exist”,

said Mannes. She cautioned that each of the approximately 18,000 U.S. pest control companies may describe their integrated services differently. We see it as using the least amount of pesticides possible, while getting the best final results. These integrated pest management services are a little more expensive because they are more labor intensive, but the result is healthier living by using fewer pesticides. Green pest control products are in serious demand. Natural pest controls are the fastest-growing part of our industry. We were looking for different ways to make things a little different. It's been very effective. We're happy with the results and so are our customers.

The pesticide manufacturing industry is really working hard to bring new products to market that are much less or non toxic. Progress is coming. There will always be situations where pesticides are needed but we need to know when they can be avoided. Especially in cases of infants and people with compromised immune systems.
