GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. The folks at a local pest control company decided to spend their Thanksgiving morning giving back to their community, bringing warm meals and bags of clothes for those dealing with homelessness.

John Koval, owner of Smitter Pest Control Management on Division Ave, decided to organize the event because of the hardship so many in West Michigan are currently facing.

A few weeks back, I was sitting in my office and said, you know what, the line of work I do, pest control, I see a lot of things, you know, that are shutting down and how it's hurting a lot of people," Koval told FOX 17 Thursday morning.

"I just said, you know what, I'm going to give back to my community, I'm going to give back to the homeless."

They passed out 100 Subway sandwiches, clothes, shoes and toiletries. Koval was even able to get several family members and co-workers to join him.

A bunch of my friends heard about it on Facebook, and here we are. A lot of people helping me out, from clothing to food, gloves, socks and everything," Koval said.

And having a couple people coming up to me and saying thanks for caring about us on a day like today, when we should be giving thanks.

People continued showing up throughout the morning, grateful for Koval's efforts.

What makes me feel good is, I know its hard to see with the mask on, but I can see the smiles underneath that mask, that they feel good someone cared about them.

Smitter Pest Control Management is still working through the pandemic. You can find out more about them and the services they offer at their website.

Aptive Environmental Pest Control, based in Provo, Utah, is donating at least $275,000 to the United Nations Foundations Nothing but Nets campaign in 2020. To celebrate both Malaria Awareness Month in November and Giving Tuesday in December, Aptive pledges to match donations up to an additional $50,000 from its community of customers and sales representatives on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020, bringing its donation potential to nearly $400,000.

The United Nations Nothing But Nets campaign sends insecticide-treated bed nets to regions of the world plagued with malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Since 2016, Aptive has brought its community together every year to help stop the spread of malaria transmitted by a simple mosquito bite, contributing over $912,000 to the campaign and helping to protect nearly 285,000 lives, according to a news release.

Aptive Environmental Sales Team Leader Jonathan Watrous has led the Nothing But Nets giving program amongst the sales team for four years.

What I love about working for Aptive is being part of a company that not only cares about its employees, but also supports those in need, Watrous said in the news release. Its a great feeling to know the work we do every day makes a difference in not just the lives and homes of families we serve, but those across the world, too.

Aptive CEO Vess Pearson agreed.

We believe a few small acts of kindness can create a large impact, and were seeing it right before our eyes in partnership with Nothing But Nets, Pearson said in the news release. As the holidays approach, we encourage others to spread generosity big or small in their communities and beyond, because thats where change begins.

The classical form of biocontrol is specifically geared to invasive species management, says Wyckhuys.

Biocontrol offers the option to go back to the region of origin of that pest, study the co-evolved natural enemies and choose the organisms that are highly effective at controlling them. We dont want to introduce an organism that is going to attack other organisms. We select an effective biocontrol that is highly specific, says Wyckhuys.

Alternatively, in conservation approaches, predators that already exist within the environment are promoted by protecting their habitat. This can be done by increasing the amount of hedgerow or meadow around a field.

In a study on cabbage farming, where there was a high proportion of meadows surrounding a cabbage plot, numbers of cabbage-eating caterpillars were lower. This was likely due to the greater presence of parasitic wasps in those environments, the researchers say. However, in other instances, meadows promoted the presence of pest species like aphids and flea beetles. Its not as simple as introducing more meadow to cut down on pests the dynamics between farmland and wild land need to be carefully managed.

Conservation biocontrols like this are also limited to controlling pests which are native to their local environment. Like classical biocontrols, many pest species were first introduced to their environment by humans they werent necessarily already there. As countries import seeds and crops from across the world, it is easy to assume that the odd accidental pest tagged along. Now, finding themselves in a new environment without a natural predator, they flourish.

Finally, in augmented approaches a pathogen or parasite is introduced to a crop at a key time perhaps when pests begin to breed or lay eggs, or even before the pest arrives so that the control species quickly nullifies their threat before their own numbers dwindle and they too die out in that area. The advantage of this approach is that you can be very specific with how you tackle the pest species.

Augmented control is very popular in the European greenhouse sector, says Wyckhuys. In some areas pesticide use is zero.

Greenhouses have been the domain of biocontrols for decades, even while chemical pesticides had their boom years. They have a big advantage of being a more or less closed system, so a predatory biocontrol is not going to fly away. Then there is the fact that greenhouse crops tend to be higher value tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers sell for more per unit area than cereals, for instance.

In more recent years the popularity for biocontrols has spread to other sectors such as floraculture, viticulture and outdoor fruits like strawberries.

In Canada we did a survey in 2017/ 2018, 92% of flower growers use biocontrol as the main pest control strategy, says Buitenhuis. It is an amazing success story and came about because of pesticide resistance, especially in Canada.

Buitenhuis and Reid know that when large surface area crop farmers switch to biocontrols for their cereals and grains, the momentum will have swung back in their favour. If an arable farmer decided that a biocontrol is usable on wheat or barley that is us cracked it, says Reid. Likewise, Buitenhuis says that persuading countries like Colombia, Ecuador and Kenya to adopt such approaches would be big wins.

It is coming, says Buitenhuis. Using chemicals only is not a long-term sustainable strategy.

Comprehensive Report on Insect Pest Control Market 2020 | Size, Growth, Demand, Opportunities & Forecast To 2026 | Rentokil Initial, Bayer, FMC,...

Polyculture is the practice of planting combinations of plants for stronger, healthier growth and greater yields in productive agriculture.

When we think of companion planting, often it is considered as simply a form of controlling pests by adding plants to our gardens that certain insects dont like.

This is a part of the equation.

Companion planting however, not only controls pests, it will inhibit the growth of unwanted weeds and improve the fertility of the soil.

Lets look at the various benefits of companion planting for pest control, soil health and thriving plants in your garden.

PEST CONTROL

These are a few pests you might encounter in your garden and some of the plants that can either confuse or repel them along with tips for attracting their predators.

Bugs in General

A border of chamomile, a hedge of feverfew or plantings of millet will deter most insect pests.

We cannot forget pyrethrum as it is a very strong pest deterrent.

Another clever way to combat insect invasions is to try planting more native shrubs as these will attract native birds that will in turn eat the bugs.

Ants

Pest control plants are tansy, pennyroyal and spearmint.

Aphids

Marigolds, chives, garlic, onion, wormwood, coriander, rhubarb and elder repel these.

Cabbage Moth

Tomato and peppermint confuse and repel cabbage moths.

Other moths can be deterred with rosemary and santolina.

Nematodes

Mustard, marigolds and lavender send nematodes on their way.

Stink Bugs

Artichoke and radish are very disliked by these bugs.

Slugs and Snails

Rosemary, wormwood and mullein all deters them while mulches of these and oak leaf mulch are also effective.

Birds eat snails and slugs so plant bird attracting plants like buddleia, banksia and grevillea will bring them into your garden for some extra protein.

Thrips

Alyssum, chamomile, pennyroyal, thyme and basil will control thrips.

Sunflowers, dill, coriander, tansy, yarrow, alfalfa also attract thrip predators.

Whitefly

Feverfew, garlic, marigolds, nasturtiums and basil can control whitefly.

INSECT INVITATIONS

Inviting what may seem like pests into the garden can sound strange but in fact there are many beneficial bugs that can help you grow a great garden.

Lay down the green carpet welcome by planting lots of flowers to attract pollinators to help fertilise your plants.

Consider letting some herbs and greens go to flower as well as planting specific flowers such as dahlias, forget-me-nots, sunflowers, roses or daisies.

There are also flowers that naturally attract insects that are predators of destructive garden pests. Ladybirds are going to take care of the mites, scale, whiteflies and aphids for you and they really enjoy dill and coriander.

Lacewings will make a meal out of aphids and they also enjoy tansy, angelica and dandelions.

HEALTHY SOIL AND HAPPIER GARDENS

To fix nitrogen to the soil for plants that require it, try planting sweet pea, alfalfa, nettle, soybean and clover as companions.

For soil low in magnesium plant in peppermint and parsley and let those dandelions roam free.

If your root crops are not much chop, try planting in garlic, sorrel, calendula, nettle amongst them as these all add phosphorus which could be your problem.

To ensure tasty fruits and vegetables, you need potassium in your soil to improve the uptake of nitrogen so get in some evening primrose, sunflowers, watercress, tansy and borage.

Control weeds by planting comfrey.

This acts as a living thick mulch and can be slashed down and added to your compost for a rich boost in nutrients.

Create well-planted boarders to stop grasses invading your garden beds and use these areas to add pest deterring plants such as pyrethrum and daisies.

Living mulches are simply plants that grow to cover the soil to trap in the nutrients and deter weeds so consider comfrey and other herbs that have the qualities your particular garden requires.

MY FAVOURITE COMPANIONS

There are many great companions in the plant world I have set out some in the adjacent box.

If I had to share with you my favourite companion plants, I could not go past marjoram for its ability to boost the flavour of nearly all surrounding crops while providing nutritional assistance to the environment it finds itself in and this is turn produces very healthy plants.

My other favourite is comfrey for its ability to become a living mulch that deters pests and weeds, provides temperate regulation and water retention and it also creates an amazing liquid fertiliser.

Some plants do better in the company of friends.

These botanical mates offer nurturing through their ability to share nutrients with others; by attracting insect predators, usually through aroma or taste, and by adding something to their neighbours in the way of additional flavours or boosting their growth rate.

Here are a few combinations for you to try that should improve your garden.

Artichoke, Jerusalem (Helianthus tuberosus): they love being with tansy and corn and will deter insects from your citrus trees if used as their underplanting.

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis): brilliant bedfellows are tomatoes and asparagus as they naturally stimulate healthy, strong growth in each other.

Parsley, capsicum and lettuce all do well with asparagus too.

Bay Tree (Laurus nobilis): one of the great pest and disease deterrents for all other plants and should be found at least once in every garden.

Beans, Broad (Vicia faba): lettuce, corn, violets, potatoes are all good neighbours.

Beans, Runner (Phaseolus coccineus): This type of bean loves growing alongside carrots and cauliflowers and does well with spinach, radish and corn.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea): this vegetable loves growing with rosemary, leeks, celery and sage.

Celery (Apium graveolens): leeks, tomatoes and especially bush bean varieties work very well together with celery in the garden.

Citrus (Citrus spp.): sweet pea grown alongside citrus of all types will help fix the nitrogen in the soil and to deter woodborers plant catnip and lavender beneath your citrus.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus): To encourage stronger growth, try planting peas and beans and you will find that lettuce makes a healthy garden bed companion as well. The dreaded cucumber beetle can be deterred with radish that has been allowed to go to seed.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa): To improve the flavour of your lettuce, try planting between rows with beetroot or strawberries.

Mulberry (Morus alba): To ensure a bumper crop of mulberries, plant grapes and chokos nearby you can grow either through the branches as well.

Olive (Olea europaea): Rosemary, lavender and tansy all make a good underplanting for this tree as they repeal many pests that are attracted to it. Wattle is a brilliant native companion and almond and walnut also help create a beneficial growing environment.

Onion (Allium cepa): Onions do well with lettuce, cabbages and carrots and you will find that chamomile is also happy growing aside onions.

Passionfruit (Passiflora spp.): Lemongrass and lemon balm are both good pest deflectors and marjoram is an extremely beneficial nutrient provider.

Pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.): They grow well around citrus, beans and corn while dill and oregano are good pest controllers.

Rose (Rosa spp.): There is belief that growing alliums such as chives, onions and garlic with roses will improve the perfume of the rose. Chamomile helps prevent the development of black spot and parsley will deter pests.

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa): Borage improves the sweetness of strawberries while marigolds deter pests.

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus): These big beautiful blossoms will lure aphids away from the rest of your garden without much harm to themselves and are massive pollinator attractors as well.

There are also some plants that do not make good bedfellows.

Some emit substances that harm certain neighbouring plants, many attract plant predators that are unwanted, while others deplete available resources that more fragile plants cant compete with.

Tomato, for instance, do not do well with fennel, potatoes or kohlrabi and strawberries find it difficult to grow around collards.

Dont ever plant Gladiolus in with your vegetables as they are nutrient thieves and your crops will be stunted in growth.

Sunflowers and potatoes or beans will starve each other out.

Alliums are your onions, garlics, leeks and chives and they do not make good neighbours with beans, peas or asparagus.

Beetroot and amaranth dont seem to mix with each other, potatoes and artichokes are not friends at all and all of the brassica family (such as: broccoli, Asian greens, cabbages, cauliflower) should never be grown near the nightshade family (such as: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, capsicum) or strawberries and rue.

Tech Companies Partner on New Innovative Growing Platform - Greenhouse Grower

Proposed designs for a new fire station in North Suffolk will include plans for a fourth bay, but whether one gets built will be determined by the cost to put one in, and City Councils will to pay for it.

During a recent update from Gerry Jones on Fire Station No. 11 in Harbour View off of Hampton Roads Parkway, the citys director of capital projects told council that it would definitely have at least three bays and about 15,000 square feet of space to respond to increased growth and demand in the northern end of the city. Currently, the closest one is Fire and Rescue Station No. 5 on Bridge Road.

It will be at least a three-bay station, Jones said. Were going to plan for four, meaning well situate it (and) site it so that we can expand it as time goes. As the need is there to expand it, we can do that.

Jones said the fourth bay would possibly be included as an alternate bid item if we can afford to do it within the current budget.

Councilman Roger Fawcett said, however, that by the time construction would begin, it would be better to go ahead and build the fourth bay rather than try to add it later.

Were talking one bay, and it would be, I think, senseless, for us not to put the fourth bay in play while we have the brick and mortar going on the ground, Fawcett said, because if we try to come back and retrofit that building later, there could be issues down the line, could be issues with funding, could be issues with a lot of things. It may never get done, and with the expansion in that area, we need to have that capacity.

Jones said the city would plan on a fourth bay and more than likely find out how much it would cost to build the new fire station with four bays.

RRMM Architects will be providing architectural and engineering design services. Jones said the city executed a contract for design services in September for $551,730, with the design work beginning Oct. 28 and scheduled to be finished by July 2021. At that point, Jones said the city would solicit construction bids, and that it is scheduled to be finished by fall 2022.

He noted that its cost, at $8.2 million, is $1.9 million more than originally projected.

Its one of several capital projects with higher cost estimates.

A renovation of the 60-year-old, 2,300-square-foot Fire and Rescue Station No. 4 on Lake Kilby Road will need an extra $500,000 above its original $1.1 million cost projection, and a 7,214-square-foot fire department apparatus and quartermaster facility to go behind the Kings Fork Public Safety Center is set to cost about $2.5 million, more than $900,000 above its original projection.

The Bennetts Creek Recreation Center, going on the former Army Reserve Center property, is set to cost nearly $5 million, more than $300,000 above its original projections. The city executed a $4.4 million contract for construction with C.W. Brinkley on that project, and construction began in September on the 15,795-square-foot facility and is scheduled to be done by October 2021.

Jones said the city had to wait for the Army to relocate out of the building, which the Army turned over to the city in June. The remodeled facility will have a game room, a computer lab, multipurpose and fitness rooms, a commercial kitchen, locker rooms and administrative support spaces. There will be no gymnasium in there because there is one at the Creekside Recreation Center at Creekside Elementary School.

Jones said that would be done by July 2021, but for now, it will not include paving and security fencing. The additional money needed for that would go toward those items if council approves it for the fiscal year 2022 Capital Improvements Program and Plan.

The increase in the price tags for those projects is due to these projects being delayed for several years.

Many of these projects were put on the backburner when we did our two school projects, Jones said, referring to the construction of Col. Fred Cherry Middle School and Florence Bowser Elementary School. And a lot of these, the funding started prior to that, so the original numbers that were put in the CIP, some of them are four, five, six years old.

Interim City Manager Al Moor also noted the increases in the cost of steel.

Councilman Donald Goldberg said the city should incorporate a new downtown recreation center to go with the new library to be going in on city-acquired land about a block from City Hall.

The kids in this area have been shortchanged ever since the Birdsong Gym was taken away, Goldberg said, referring to when the gym was closed and then torn down in 2004.

Richmond-based Quinn Evans Architects, which will be designing the new library, held a pair of virtual community meetings this summer to get public input on what residents want in a new facility.

Last December, the city selected the company to design the new $23.3 million downtown library to replace the 14,500-square-foot Morgan Memorial Library. Jones said the city executed a nearly $1.8 million contract for design services in February, with that work scheduled to be done by spring 2022.

Moor noted that library funding has not been changed at this point from the previous year, which at the time did not have a recreation center component to it.

What were looking at here is trying to understand how that rec (component) complements the library, Moor said. Its really not part of the same building, but how it would slide into as we free up, maybe, where the Morgan (Memorial Library) is or where we free up something further down West Washington (Street), how they can come together and work together, but at this point, it hasnt been envisioned to be part of the same building.

Jones also outlined the status of other capital projects, including:

The new Metropolitan Sea Airport of Elefsina will be soon opening its doors to the public to take visitors on a thrilling ride.

The blueprints for the design of Elefsinas sea airport were released in 2019, immediately capturing the attention of the international architecture community, who praised Greece for this innovative project.

Designed by Pieris.Architects and Hellenic Seaplanes, the waterfront area, its waterpark and set of seaplanes, form part of the largest waterways and seaplane investment in Greece all reportedly to be complete and ready within 2021.

Currently under construction, the new sea airport is costing over 25 million euros and is expected to radically change the travel map of the area, making Elefsina a seaplane hub.

The facility will be located just 20 kilometres from the centre of Athens and will serve the whole of Attica.

While many have debated the construction of such a large and costly project, the fact is that the creation of this waterway is a necessity rather than a luxury as long as it is used properly.

At the moment there are not enough connections between the various Aegean islands and Attica, limiting the domestic dispersion of tourists and degrading the touristic experience that Greece can truly offer.

In addition, the integration of seaplanes in the transport network between mainland and islands offers the possibility for better medical care, facilitating the transfer of patients to hospitals in Attica.

Finally, there is the substantial contribution to upgrading the quality of life of the permanent residents of the island areas, facilitating better postal services and transportation.

The construction and design of the sea airport was led by Pieris.Architects, an award-winning multidisciplinary architectural group with a portfolio of various projects across Greece, Cyprus and England and headed by Stella and Petros Pieris.

Pieris.Architects explained that they wanted to create a DNA-style building, which will integrate all the functions of transport infrastructure with those of a flexible cultural space.

Our vision of Atticas Metropolitan Seadrome with Nicholas Charalambous and Hellenic Seaplanes is soon taking shape and is undeniably one of the most ambitious and visionary projects taking place in Greece at the moment.

The Greek islands will finally be connected by a network of seaplanes, which will boost tourism by making travel between different holiday destinations easier and most importantly, will improve healthcare and ensure the faster transportation of patients to the mainland, explained Stella Pieris of Pieris.Architects.

One of the main goals of the municipality of the city of Elefsina was to create a multi-purpose facility, which would include multicultural event spaces, conference centres, exhibition spaces, commercial uses, restaurants and cafes. This way, the sea airport and its surrounding facilities could be used all year round providing a consistent source of revenue for the water park station and the city overall.

The Metropolitan Sea Airport will also introduce a new style of transport infrastructure in the country, connecting travel experience with culture by utilizing an almost abandoned landmark building, that being the port of Elefsina.

The aim of this new project is to create a positive impact on social, economic and environmental level, adopting cutting-edge technologies, ecological consciousness and modern culture, says Hellenic Seaplanes in a recent statement.

Nicholas Charalambous, Chairman and CEO of Hellenic Seaplanes, described that another special aspect of Elefsinas sea airport is that the travel experience begins from the moment that the traveller enters the building.

Indoor, semi-outdoor and open air conditioners, specially designed to cope with the climatic conditions of Greece, service indoor gardens housing endemic plants and trees such as olive, thyme and lavender, that exude vivid colours and aromas reminiscent of the more rural side of Greece within a major city.

The elements of sustainability present in both the project design and choice of construction materials, contribute to the reduction of operating costs and energy consumption and have been openly praised by the international community of architects.

This project will create additional added value through infrastructure of modern architecture with a focus on sustainability, as the environmental benefits are many and important, explains awarded architect graduate from Oxford University and the University College of London, Petros Pieris.

The design and construction of public buildings with a low environmental footprint for the countrys Mediterranean climate, where heating and cooling must be produced, maintained and combined with the required amenities, is a difficult task.

Additionally, the social and economic benefits for the wider region are manifold.

The sea airport and its numerous waterways and facilities have already contributed to the creation of 2,000 new jobs and are predicted to attract new tourism investments and infrastructure development along the hitherto neglected port of Elefsina.

Overall, the sea airport embodies the architectural philosophy of Pieris.Architects, which concerns the development of eco-emotional intelligence.

The new infrastructure presupposes, motivates and encourages human-nature interaction and is to be accompanied by a number of other important port rehabilitation projects, including seabed clearing and gradual restoration of the biodiversity of the area.

The cultural activities that will also be hosted throughout the year at the site will bring an influx of visitors, strengthening the local economy and giving new life to an area that, despite its rich history, has long been overlooked.

Predicted to enhance the countrys tourism as a whole, the new Metropolitan Sea Airport of Elefsina is set to offer new destinations to tourists as multiple areas will become more easily accessible.
