We have had many service technicians out at our house for the last 18 months doing routine service calls. Every one of them has provided excellent customer service. However, I would like to point out that Collin provided superior customer service at a time when we desperately needed reassurance that our house was protected from mice. He carefully went over our garage attic space and our basement crawl space and reported no signs of current mice activity in our house. I was so relieved that we chose your company to protect our house. Your inspector reaffirmed what we knew to be true. Were moving on soon to another state, but hopefully your company will continue to expand and we can do business again in the future. Kim & Derrick W. Pest Control Customer in Chicago

I was initially skeptical about their service and what they had to say about their product but for some reason I thought that the organic option might be a better option to try out than those nasty chemical options. We gave it a shot and were really happy that we picked Greenix to be our pest control vendor. They even backed up their service by following up on a timely basis and even doing free service calls if for some reason we saw something different in terms of bugs and insects. I am very pleased with their service and would happily recommend them to anyone of my friends and family!!! Y. Shah Pest Control Customer in Salt Lake City

Punctual, Reliable, and True to Word. We recently had a terrible flea problem that escelated right under our noses. Before we knew it it was completely out of control but having a new infant in the house I had been reluctant to have chemicals in the house. After talking with Brent though he really put my worries at ease and promised they would be out until the problem was resolved and at the set price, no hidden fees. Boy did they. I think they came out 5 times that first month, steam cleaned the carpets 3 times, and just gave it so much attention, follow up calls, punctual for EVERY appointment if not early. I was seriously impressed and so thankful. The problem is cleared up now and we are doing the quarterly service and as a nice perk now I see practically no spiders or other gross creepy crawlies! HIGHLY recommend this company. J. Kittrell Pest Control Customer in Dublin Ohio

Increased use of brodifacoum poison in Southland prompts a timely reminder for hunters to be aware of where they are taking their wild game from. Nicole Sharpreports.

Hunters should not take animal carcasses for human consumption from areas where brodifacoum poison is used, the National Pest Control Agencies say.

Brodifacoum poison is an anti-coagulant chemical.

If ingested by animals, including humans, it inhibits blood clotting, causing death from internal bleeding.

Brodifacoum is a predominant toxin used in Environment Southland possum control areas (PCAs) by both farmers and contractors in Southland.

The National Pest Control Agencies factsheet on the poison states commercial hunters cannot hunt wild animals for consumption in areas where the poisons have been laid, including the buffer zones, until the specified caution period of three years has elapsed.

The buffer zone is within 5km of the poisoning area for pigs and within 2km of the poisoning area for large species such as deer.

The same buffer zones and caution periods are also recommended for recreational hunters.

Environment Southland senior biosecurity officer Dave Burgess said it was a legal requirement that wild animals could not be taken for ''commercial markets''.

When setting up a new PCA, Environment Southland now included this in the discussions with landowners.

When it came to farm animals, they should not have access to brodifacoum bait or bait stations, Mr Burgess said.

''They normally get this information at least twice in the first two years.''

Brodifacoum was a predominant toxin used for Environment Southland PCAs by farmers and their contractors that had bait stations, he said.

''It is also a common bait sold over the counter and online to the general public for both rodent and possum control.''

Along with the poison, a warning sign was required to be erected at normal points of public entry to any area/property where it was being used, he said.

''These signs must stay up for at least nine months after baiting has ceased. In the case of properties which are part of our PCA programme, we supply farmers with appropriate warning signs.''

The Department of Conservation took a precautionary approach to using brodifacoum.

DOC Murihiku operations manager Tony Preston said current policy allowed the poison to be used on off-shore islands for operations such as one-off rodent eradication projects.

''However, on mainland public conservation land, brodifacoum is not a common pesticide used on public conservation land by the department or community groups, due to environment and bio-accumulative concerns,'' he said.

When it was used, signs notifying the public were required to be in place for up to 36 months after the pesticide application, he said.

Trapping and cyanide were other common ways of controlling pests and in PCAs in Southland the decision was up to the landowner, Mr Burgess said.

''For those with bait stations, brodifacoum is a very efficient and cost-effective possum control tool which doesn't require a licence, but must be used according to best practice and label. It is/has provided extensive biodiversity gains throughout the country for many years. There is little/no poison shyness due to its slow action of working.''

Brodifacoum could be bought over the counter without a licence, he said.

It must be used in a bait station and label instructions must be followed.

There are industry guidelines for bait station use, which, along with the label, can be found on the National Pest Control Agencies' and/or Animal Control Products' websites.

Hunters warned to observe rules for poison areas - Otago Daily Times

A county researcher sorts mosquitoes in Dallas.LM Otero/AP

Over six days, Hurricane Harvey dumped an estimated 27 trillion gallons of rain over Texas and Louisiana. (Houston got almost 52 inches.) The storm displaced an estimated 35,000 people and knocked out power to 224,000 homes. At least 100,000 homes were flooded, many to the point where they are no longer liveable. Private wells are tainted by toxins, and there are still concerns about the safety of the regions tapwater. Rebuilding could take years, and not everyone can afford it.

And now, to top it all off, the good citizens of Houston may have to contend with swarms of disease-carrying bloodsuckers.

Chris Barker, an epidemiologist and mosquito expert at the University of California-Davis, points out that severe flooding in urban areas creates an initial flushing effect that reduces mosquito populations for a short time. Mosquitoes dont like moving water because [the larvae] breathe through the surface of the water, and they need to stay stationary, essentially, he explains. But all the stagnant water left behind by an epic storm like Harvey enables the mosquitoes to surge back stronger than ever. You can imagine that creates a lot of habitat, Barker says.

Houston already rankedseventh on Orkins 2017 list of the Top 50 Mosquito Citiesbased on the number of residential and commercial customers who hired the pest-control company to address their mosquito problems. And more mosquitoes mean more potential for disease. The Aedes mosquitoeswhich can breed in containers of water as small as a bottle cap and have the capacity to spread viruses including Zika, dengue, and chikungunyaare quite prevalent in the Houston area, Barker says. But they can only spread these viruses after biting the rare peoplepresumably travelerswho are already infected. (Storm-battered Puerto Rico will have more to fear from Zika and dengue in the wake of Hurricane Irma.) In the Houston area at the moment, Barker says, the No. 1 virus of concern would be West Nile.

Thats because Culex mosquitoes pick upWest Nile from birdsa permanent natural reservoir for the virusbefore spreading it to people through their saliva. And unlike Aedes mosquitoes, Culex can travel far, maybe 5 to 10 kilometers, so they have the ability to colonize new areas relatively quickly, Barker says.

Even at the peak of past West Nile outbreaks, only a small proportion of the Culex mosquitoesperhaps 1 in 100were found to be infectious, says Lark Coffey, who studies mosquito-borne viruses at UC-Davis. But when these mosquitoes hatch out in unusually large numbers, West Nile cases surge.

Last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Texas reported 353 West Nile infections17 percent of all US casesresulting in 13 deaths. This years numbers are lower: Just 48 infections and 2 deaths were reportedin Texas as of August 29. But Harvey could change that.

The good news is that fall is approaching, so mosquito season should wane before too long. But heres the bad: Given the extensive flood damage, hundreds of backyard swimming pools and other prime breeding spots in close proximity to humans will be filled with filthy water and are likely go unmaintained. That could bring some pretty large mosquito populations compared to normal, Barker says.

This explosion of breeding sites could present a major headache for Harris Countys mosquito-control personnel. Temperatures in Houston are expected to remain in the high 80s for at least the next week or two. Culex mosquitoes lay their eggs in small rafts on the surface of open water and the eggs hatch within a few days. In the warmest temperatures, Barker says, it would take about a week for those to become adults and begin biting people.

Pest Control Products and Services Market Projected to Reflect 5.4% CAGR by 2026 - Digital Journal

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, and can be perceived to be detrimental to a person's health, the ecology or the economy. A practitioner of pest control is called an exterminator.

Pest control is at least as old as agriculture, as there has always been a need to keep crops free from pests. In order to maximize food production, it is advantageous to protect crops from competing species of plants, as well as from herbivores competing with humans.

The conventional approach was probably the first to be employed, since it is comparatively easy to destroy weeds by burning them or plowing them under, and to kill larger competing herbivores, such as crows and other birds eating seeds. Techniques such as crop rotation, companion planting (also known as intercropping or mixed cropping), and the selective breeding of pest-resistant cultivars have a long history.

In the UK, following concern about animal welfare, humane pest control and deterrence is gaining ground through the use of animal psychology rather than destruction. For instance, with the urban red fox which territorial behaviour is used against the animal, usually in conjunction with non-injurious chemical repellents. In rural areas of Britain, the use of firearms for pest control is quite common. Airguns are particularly popular for control of small pests such as rats, rabbits and grey squirrels, because of their lower power they can be used in more restrictive spaces such as gardens, where using a firearm would be unsafe.

Chemical pesticides date back 4,500 years, when the Sumerians used sulfur compounds as insecticides. The Rig Veda, which is about 4,000 years old, also mentions the use of poisonous plants for pest control. It was only with the industrialization and mechanization of agriculture in the 18th and 19th century, and the introduction of the insecticides pyrethrum and derris that chemical pest control became widespread. In the 20th century, the discovery of several synthetic insecticides, such as DDT, and herbicides boosted this development. Chemical pest control is still the predominant type of pest control today, although its long-term effects led to a renewed interest in traditional and biological pest control towards the end of the 20th century.

Many pests have only become a problem as a result of the direct actions by humans. Modifying these actions can often substantially reduce the pest problem. In the United States, raccoons caused a nuisance by tearing open refuse sacks. Many householders introduced bins with locking lids, which deterred the raccoons from visiting. House flies tend to accumulate wherever there is human activity and live in close association with people all over the world[1][2] especially where food or food waste is exposed. Similarly, seagulls have become pests at many seaside resorts. Tourists would often feed the birds with scraps of fish and chips, and before long, the birds would rely on this food source and act aggressively towards humans.

Living organisms evolve and increase their resistance to biological, chemical, physical or any other form of control. Unless the target population is completely exterminated or is rendered incapable of reproduction, the surviving population will inevitably acquire a tolerance of whatever pressures are brought to bear - this results in an evolutionary arms race.

Perhaps as far ago as 3000BC in Egypt, cats were being used to control pests of grain stores such as rodents. In 1939/40 a survey discovered that cats could keep a farm's population of rats down to a low level, but could not eliminate them completely. However, if the rats were cleared by trapping or poisoning, farm cats could stop them returning - at least from an area of 50 yards around a barn.[3][4]

Ferrets were domesticated at least by 500 AD in Europe, being used as mousers. Mongooses have been introduced into homes to control rodents and snakes, probably at first by the ancient Egyptians.[5]

Biological pest control is the control of one through the control and management of natural predators and parasites. For example: mosquitoes are often controlled by putting Bt Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis, a bacterium that infects and kills mosquito larvae, in local water sources. The treatment has no known negative consequences on the remaining ecology and is safe for humans to drink. The point of biological pest control, or any natural pest control, is to eliminate a pest with minimal harm to the ecological balance of the environment in its present form.[6]

Mechanical pest control is the use of hands-on techniques as well as simple equipment and devices, that provides a protective barrier between plants and insects. For example: weeds can be controlled by being physically removed from the ground. This is referred to as tillage and is one of the oldest methods of weed control.

Physical pest control is a method of getting rid of insects and small rodents by removing, attacking, setting up barriers that will prevent further destruction of one's plants, or forcing insect infestations to become visual.

Proper waste management and drainage of still water, eliminates the breeding ground of many pests.

Garbage provides food and shelter for many unwanted organisms, as well as an area where still water might collect and be used as a breeding ground by mosquitoes. Communities that have proper garbage collection and disposal, have far less of a problem with rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and other pests than those that don't.

Open air sewers are ample breeding ground for various pests as well. By building and maintaining a proper sewer system, this problem is eliminated.

Certain spectrums of LED light can "disrupt insects breeding".[7]

Poisoned bait is a common method for controlling rat populations, however is not as effective when there are other food sources around, such as garbage. Poisoned meats have been used for centuries for killing off wolves, birds that were seen to threaten crops, and against other creatures. This can be a problem, since a carcass which has been poisoned will kill not only the targeted animal, but also every other animal which feeds on the carcass. Humans have also been killed by coming in contact with poisoned meat, or by eating an animal which had fed on a poisoned carcass. This tool is also used to manage several caterpillars e.g. Spodoptera litura, fruit flies, snails and slugs, crabs etc.

Traditionally, after a sugar cane harvest, the fields are all burned, to kill off any rodents, insects or eggs that might be in the fields.[8]

Historically, in some European countries, when stray dogs and cats became too numerous, local populations gathered together to round up all animals that did not appear to have an owner and kill them.[9] In some nations, teams of rat-catchers work at chasing rats from the field, and killing them with dogs and simple hand tools. Some communities have in the past employed a bounty system, where a town clerk will pay a set fee for every rat head brought in as proof of a rat killing.

In Texas, the Wild Hog population has grown out of control and hunting is the most commonly used way to remove them.

A trap crop is a plant that attracts pests, diverting them from other crops in an agricultural field.[10] This leads to pest aggregation on the trap crop, where they can be more easily and cost effectively controlled using pesticides or control methods.[11] However, trap-cropping, on its own, has often failed to cost effectively reduce pest densities on large commercial scales, without the use of pesticides, possibly due to the pests ability to disperse back into the main field.[11]

Unlike trap crops, most traps used to control pests are man made, and used by rat catchers. A variety of mouse traps and rat traps are available for mice and rats, including snap traps, glue traps and live catch traps. Sticky traps, which often include pheromones to attract the pest, are also a common way of controlling many moth pests, such as Indian mealmoths.

Spraying pesticides by planes, trucks or by hand is a common method of pest control. Crop dusters commonly fly over farmland and spray pesticides to kill off pests that would threaten the crops. However, some pesticides may cause cancer and other health problems, as well as harming wildlife.[12]

A project that involves a structure be covered or sealed airtight followed by the introduction of a penetrating, deadly gas at a killing concentration a long period of time (24-72hrs.). Although expensive, space fumigation targets all life stages of pests.[13]

A long term project involving fogging or misting type applicators. Liquid insecticide is dispersed in the atmosphere within a structure. Treatments do not require the evacuation or airtight sealing of a building, allowing most work within the building to continue but at the cost of the penetrating effects. Contact insecticides are generally used, minimizing the long lasting residual effects. On August 10, 1973, the Federal Register printed the definition of Space treatment as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):[13]

Laboratory studies conducted with U-5897 (3-chloro-1,2-propanediol) were attempted in the early 1970s although these proved unsuccessful.[14] Research into sterilization bait is ongoing.

In 2013, New York City tested sterilization traps in a $1.1 million study.[15] The result was a 43% reduction in rat populations.[15] The Chicago Transit Authority plans to test sterilization control in spring 2015.[15] The sterilization method doesn't poison the rats or humans.[15] The product ContraPest was approved for the sterilization of rodents by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in August 2016.[16]

Forest services sometimes destroy all the trees in an area where some are infected with insects, if seen as necessary to prevent the insect species from spreading. Farms infested with certain insects, have been burned entirely, to prevent the pest from spreading elsewhere.

Several wildlife rehabilitation organizations encourage natural form of rodent control through exclusion and predator support and preventing secondary poisoning altogether.[17]

The United States Environmental Protection Agency agrees, noting in its Proposed Risk Mitigation Decision for Nine Rodenticides that without habitat modification to make areas less attractive to commensal rodents, even eradication will not prevent new populations from recolonizing the habitat.[18]

Nowadays pest control companies[19] has emerged all over the world with some of them causing more damage to the environment than it is caused by the actual pests.
