Our Philosophies

Core philosphies and technology are integrated into a unique approach to site evaluation, field surveillance and environmental impact to tailor a control program specific to your area. This all-inclusive strategy is applied throughout your organization by thorough education and training of all employees responsible for implementation of the program.

Philosophical Principals

  • To use the most effective products available which are cost effective, easy to use, environmentally friendly and compatible with all current application equipment
  • To provide the most effective biting fly control, including mosquitoes, sand flies and black flies, utilizing environmentally friendly products that are innocuous to non-target organisms
  • To focus on safe and sane use of cost effective methods and principles for the control of pestiferous insects in accordance with the guidelines recognized by international organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, United States Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization

Resistance Management & Biorational Views

Throughout the world, insect populations that have been repeatedly exposed to the same control materials develop an inherited ability to survive known as chemical resistance. Once resistance has developed, these control materials are no longer effective and become virtually useless. In order to address chemical resistance and provide the best control, we suggest that alternative control materials be used. Judicious use of these chemicals is an integral component of an environmentally sensitive application program. Furthermore, it is recommended that only those materials approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency be used.

Technologies

  • Use design criteria and principles that allow for aesthetically pleasing development without production of nuisance or disease carrying insects
  • Balance control methodologies with naturally biodegradable materials that can be used in domestic water supplies to control larvae and by using the most up-to-date technology in equipment and pesticides for controlling adult mosquitoes and biting flies
  • Utilize the resources of a team that that has effectively managed over 100,000 acres of wetlands in a tourist-based economy with over 5.5 million annual visitors
