What’s "Environmental” got to do with it?

​The safety of products used in the pest management industry is a hot topic. In this blog entry, I’d like to address common perceptions regarding the impact that our products and services may have on our customers and team members, pets, and the environment.

At EPLS, we pride ourselves in only using highly-effective products that pose the least impact to our environment. And we are careful with where and when we apply treatments. Our targeted applications require each of our team members to be well-versed with our products as well as the many pests that call Central Florida home.

The question of whether or not we use “organic” or “safe” products comes us frequently. This question comes up because many people mistakenly believe that if a product is “organic” then it is “safe”. Here is a good example:

There are several brands of a weed control product composed of “organic” 20% vinegar. These products are so corrosive that they can cause skin burns and blindness. They’re even strong enough to etch concrete. Obviously these products should not be used, despite being marketed as “safe” and “organic”.

That said, I have nothing against “organic” products – as long as they are effective and pose minimal risk to applicators and our environment. We just need to use common sense and not fall blindly to the “organic” marketing trap.
​
So, what’s “Environmental” got to do with it? The environment that we all share in Central Florida is precious to all of us. We can have beautiful landscapes and pest-free homes, and we can achieve this by using effective products and implementing sensible and responsible fertilization and pest-management techniques.
