Green Wisdom
Pestec practices pest control using integrated pest management (IPM) methods. IPM is an information based decision making process using a mix of cultural, physical, biological, and reduced-risk chemical strategies to reduce pest populations and harm they do. IPM is now included in the LEED Green Buildings certification for existing buildings.
Pestec has taken the lead in greener lower-impact IPM through its work in California and beyond. We understand pests as '''life out of place - in the wrong place at the wrong time, and focus on preventing building conditions that are conducive to pest life through comprehensive inspections, sanitation recommendations, habitat modifications, and structural repairs. By identifying and correcting conditions that attract pests, we can take steps to improve the quality of life in your home and business.
Our low-impact methods also reduce risk in your community by using containerized baits and crack and crevice treatments that reduce pesticide exposure and help to protect pollinators and water quality, by limiting the amount of materials we introduce into the environment. Pestec also helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions with our mosquito abatement bicycle team.
Pestec is Green Shield Certified and EcoWise Certified and believes that green technologies and strategies must be shared openly and transparently to increase the adoption of life, energy, and money saving solutions. It is with this desire for transparency that we have partnered with two non-profit IPM certification programs, one nationally, and the other locally.
Parties seeking LEED building certification have a credible partner in Greenshield Certified, EcoWise Certified, and audited integrated pest management providers.
