PEST CONTROL

The Environmental Protection Agency has more closely monitored the Pest Control Industry since 2001 banning the use of the most dangerous pesticides such as Organophosphates which are highly effective and long lasting eradicators of pests though they are also highly toxic to humans and the entire ecosystem. Evergreen Pest Management has never used this type of toxic chemical. The use of safer less toxic chemicals requires more skill by the technician who chooses the most effective chemical for the type of pest (this is often a pyrethroid based substance meaning that the active ingredients have been produced to mimic the effect of the daisy plant chemical, Pyrethrum), then rotating the variety of chemicals used as the pest builds up resistance to it and applying the substance exactly where the pest inhabits or tracks. The active ingredient in modern low toxicity general pest management is in a concentration lower than 1% however it is enough to eradicate small insects without odour or effect on mammals. It is up to the skill of our technician to apply the chemicals safely in precise amounts and in the right areas to avoid contact with your family, your pets and you. The pest sprays are applied with minimum droplet size at low ground areas, thus eliminating airborne residues.
