What does it
mean to "Go Green"?
Individuals
and families these days are asking
themselves what they can do to conserve
resources and preserve our environment. They
want to make smart decisions - choices that
preserve healthy living. Going green means
just that; taking environmental
responsibility by making choices that are the
most environmentally friendly while
improving human life. This includes but far
from being limited to: The food you eat, the
water you drink, the clothes you wear, the
car you drive, the home you live in and how
you control pests.
By
utilizing an IPM approach to pest
management, Pestech is the choice for
keeping your home and environment healthy.
What is
IPM?
Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and
environmentally sensitive approach to pest
management that relies on a combination of
common-sense practices. IPM programs use
current, comprehensive information on the
life cycles of pests and their interaction
with the environment. This information, in
combination with available pest control
methods, is used to manage pest damage by
the most economical means, and with the
least possible hazard to people, property,
and the environment.
The IPM
approach can be applied to both agricultural
and non-agricultural settings, such as the
home, garden, and workplace. IPM takes
advantage of all appropriate pest management
options.

"News"
Going green
includes all facets of our lives including
the design and construction of buildings
giving careful consideration to three main
elements: healthy indoor environment,
maximum energy efficiency and conservative,
thoughtful use of natural resources.
Who says it’s a green
building? Is there a certification process?
There are
several ways to denote a building’s
“greenness.” In the US, and now world
wide, green buildings are certified through
an independent third party, the US Green
Building Council’s program, Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®).
For more information on LEED®
and the USGBC visit http://www.usgbc.org
. Once
you have visited the USGBC site, call Pestech®
to see how we can add LEED®
points to your existing building or new construction
project, you'll be glad you did.
