Green Pest
Control
At Bill's Exterminating Co, Inc., we have been practicing
"Green Pest Control" long before the "Green" became such a popular part of today's lifestyle. In the termite and pest control industry, "Green" is
synonymous with a technical term called IPM, or Integrated Pest Management.
IPM is the practice of using the best combination of tools, methods, and
materials to achieve a satisfactory pest level. By performing thorough
inspections, we are able to identify target areas and then carefully choose a
treatment method that can reduce the amount of pesticides required to solve a
pest problem. Through IPM treatment strategies and professionally educated staff members,
Bill's Exterminating Co., Inc. has, and will always be, focused on you and your
family's safety with great interest on environmental preservation. As more
eco-friendly products are produced and proven effective, Bill's Exterminating
Company will be offering more and more comprehensive "Green" pest
management solutions for you. Depending upon your needs and desire for
aggressive versus non-aggressive pest control, we can custom-tailor a pest
management program for you from the beginning of, or during, any pest control
service plan.
The best example of a reduced risk treatment method is in
our Termite Baiting Program. Conventional treatment methods involve
invasive drilling techniques and the need for hundreds of gallons of pesticide
applied under and around a home or building. Termite Baiting uses no
pesticide until termites are actually baited into the monitored station, after
which, a sealed cartridge of pesticide is installed into the child-proof
station. The baited termites consume this and carry it back to colony and
reduce the colony to critical, collapsing levels. The active ingredient is
a chitin-synthesis inhibitor that keeps termites from shedding their exoskeleton
to grow. Since humans have no exoskeleton, the active ingredient is of
very little risk to mammals (people and pets). Even better, termite
baiting treatments do not fail in a few years as conventional liquid treatments
often will. As long as the Termite Baiting Protection system is renewed
and a qualified professional services it, the protection remains 100% effective
without the need for re-applying large quantities of liquid pesticides.

In general pest control services, our certified field
specialists conduct a thorough investigation for insect activity including
active areas, nesting spots, and entry points. Then, as needed, a
carefully chosen material is used to control the problem. This is much
different than the old "hose it down" and "spray and pray"
method of decades past that many pest control companies still use to this
day. Instead of hoping the pests come in contact with our treatment, we
take the treatment directly to them. Through the use of roach and ant
baits, we are able to attract pests to a few carefully placed feeding points
instead of applying liquid pesticides to an entire house or building.
Finally, after an insect problem has been taken care of inside, we move future
treatments to the exterior to prevent further problems from coming in.
These methods greatly reduce the amounts of pesticides used in your environment.
