Established in 1994, the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) is an EPA partnership program that works with the nation’s pesticide-user community to promote Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.

ProBest Pest Management    Gold membership is reserved for PESP’s outstanding environmental stewards. These members’ demonstrated commitment to pesticide risk reduction makes them models for other PESP members. Gold members may develop an IPM strategy, demonstrate significant and sustained progress in reducing pesticide risks, and independently measure the progress of their IPM implementation.

As a service company we are at homes and businesses everyday, so why wouldn’t we get involved with carpet cleaning (we did because of Bed Bugs)? We are frequently on roofs so we decided to investigate Solar Attic Fans, attics are an area we are very familar with. Check out the various links above to see what we can do for you!

What’s all the fuss about pest control and IPM?

We all call Earth our home and until NASA comes up with a plan for moving all of us to Mars or somewhere else we all must get on board the boat called GREEN. The EPA has recently mandated Chemical Pesticide Manufacturers to update and make pesticide labeling more Eco-friendly. Now you might remember my blog on “The days of power spraying every house is coming to a close” in December 2011, I had heard that they were on track to do some amending to the Pyrethroid Labels and it appears that this has taken place and has become a little more restrictive on spraying in general.

Integrated Pest Management or IPM is the answer and it works! Yes we live in Arizona and we have those Bark Scorpions but if you do some minor adjustments to your home it will help tremendously. Home Sealing is just one component in IPM, schools have adjusted to IPM as well as factories and warehouses. So what are some things you can do to protect your family, home and business?

1. Home seal – seal every crack and crevice and every hole, this will help to keep the heat and cold in depending on the time of time. So this saves money and keeps the critters out.
2. Install a garage seal, keeps the rain (if we ever get any) out and the bugs.
3. Sanitation is the key to pest control – inside and out, keep lids on garbage containers or dumpsters.
4. IPM is not the absence of pesticide – it is the judicious usage along with the other tools to stop bugs from getting into your home or business. The knowledge of the insect can also play into treatment, if you know where they live and how they breed  this will help you attack the problem and solve the key issues.

So there are ways of treating your home with out soaking the entire property, if you know and understand the insect you will then be able to solve the problem. Is your bug guy the blaster or the one who understands the issues and our environment? Times have changed, no longer do we spray the entire inside of a home with pesticide, no longer is the smell of the product a factor of how well it works and no longer will companies blast your home with a poison with little to no regard for the environment.

ProBest Pest Management stopped treating inside homes 7 year ago, unless there was a specific issue inside. ProBest is a Gold Member of Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) and QualityPro GreenPro since 2005. The standard is high but ProBest cares about the environmental – cause we live here too.
