Were so excited about this, said R. Brett Madden, Esq., spokesman for Alliance Commercial Pest Control. Here at Alliance Commercial Pest Control, were always looking to improve ourselves for the sake of our customers and this most definitely benefits our customers.
Madden explained that the certification comes from the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) Bat Standards Compliant (BSC) Course, which was completed.
The course, according to Madden, is designed to aid in the survival and future of bats in North America and the education of those who perform bat exclusion services in residential and commercial structures
According to the NWCOA, the course sets the bar in excellence and helps to advance anyone's level of knowledge, skills and expertise.
The NWCOA also noted that, Being good at bat removal is not enough in today's marketplace - being the best is often what people want. To have the bat standards compliant seal sets you apart from everyone else.
Madden stressed that the course ensures a minimum definitive and technical standard for professional performance.
It provides compliance with standards regarding public health concerns such as histoplasmosis and rabies, Madden pointed out, before adding that services include: Bat Exclusion Inspections; Bat Removal & Exclusion (Sealing) & Venting (Bat Cones); Bat Cleaning and Remediation - Guano Cleanup & Ectoparasite Cleanout (Bat Bugs).

Rome Studies reveal extent of risks from pesticides in the region, show that field schools can dramatically cut their use
Field schools that train farmers in alternative methods of pest control have succeeded in nearly eliminating the use of toxic pesticides by a community of cotton growers in Mali, according to a new FAO study published today by the London-based Royal Society.
The study was conducted in two areas - the Bla region of southern Mali, where FAO established a field school program in 2003, and a second area, Bougouni, where the program was not yet active.
While only 34 percent of all cotton-farmers in the area participated in the program, pesticide use on all of Bla's cotton farms - more than 4,300 households - dropped a staggering 92 percent. FAO's study further found that the move away from pesticide use had no negative impact on yields.
The Bougouni area, where training has not yet taken place, saw no change in pesticide use over the same eight-year period.
This suggests that knowledge of alternative methods in pest control was further disseminated by program participants to other farmers in the area, underscoring the potential of farmer field schools to act as catalysts for widespread practice change.
Slashing their use of chemicals and shifting to alternative "biopesticides" like neem tree extract, growers in the Bla study group reduced their average individual production costs. (See box below for more on integrated pest management).
By refraining from applying more than 47,000 liters of toxic pesticides, the farmers saved nearly half a million dollars over the study period.
Training farmers in alternative methods of pest control proved to be three times more cost-effective than purchasing and using synthetic pesticides, according to FAO's analysis. More than 20,000 cotton farmers have been through field schools in Mali.
"We must learn from farmers' experience. Pragmatic, field-based and farmer-centric education can and must play a key role in making agriculture stronger and more sustainable," said FAO Director-General Jos Graziano da Silva. "At the end of the day, sustainable intensification will be the result of the collective action of millions of small farmers, who through their daily decisions determine the trajectory of agricultural ecosystems across the world."

West Africa: New Tools and Farmer Training Could Revolutionize Pesticide Management
New York, Feb 18 : Field schools that train farmers in alternative methods of pest control have succeeded in nearly eliminating the use of toxic pesticides by a community of cotton growers in Mali, according to a new study out on Monday based on a project led by the UN Food and Agriculture Agency (FAO).
"We must learn from farmers' experience. Pragmatic, field-based and farmer-centric education can and must play a key role in making agriculture stronger and more sustainable," said FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva in a press release.
The study, published on Monday by the London-based Royal Society, was conducted in two areas - the Bla region of southern Mali, where FAO established a field school program in 2003, and a second area, Bougouni, where the program was not yet active.
While only 34 percent of all cotton-farmers in the area participated in the program, pesticide use on all of Bla's cotton farms - more than 4,300 households - dropped a staggering 92 percent. FAO's study further found that the move away from pesticide use had no negative impact on yields.

Two related studies from the same FAO project also published on Monday by the Royal Society - authored by Oregon State University (OSU) scientists together with researchers in West Africa and at various institutions, including FAO - reveal the extent to which pesticide use in West Africa poses risks to human health and environment.
One of these studies, conducted in 19 different communities in five West African countries, used state-of-the-art risk assessment models to provide the first detailed analysis of pesticide risks for this region. The results highlight a number of specific pesticides that pose widespread and significant threats to human health and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife throughout the region.
