Online payment system that reduces dependence on paper, postage, and energy
At Tri-County Pest Control, we have been using Integrated Pest Management, or IPM as it is referred to in our business, for several years. IPM is a process involving common sense and sound solutions for treating and controlling pests, which incorporates three steps – inspection, identification and treatment. Treatment options vary from sealing cracks and removing food and water sources to pesticide treatments, when necessary. By assessing each customer’s situation before prescribing a treatment plan and providing preventative or corrective actions and mechanical or physical elimination, we have been able to reduce the reliance on pesticides as being the “only solution.”
When these steps are unsuccessful and/or we find that it is necessary to use pesticides, we apply the product as its label requires, which minimizes the risk to human health and environment. These products are EPA registered and used by our licensed and trained technicians.
We will continue our efforts to improve the operation of our business by constantly evaluating the ways that we can become more “Green”.
