Award winning pest control
Pestec has proudly practiced innovative pest control using integrated pest management (IPM) for over 20 years. In January 2009 the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, an arm of the California Environmental Protection Agency, recognized Pestec as one of four IPM Innovators, making Pestec the first structural pest control operator ever to receive this honor.
From the California Department of Pesticide Regulation IPM Innovator Award brochure:
*An IPM Innovator typically has a history of using pest management systems to reduce the risks posed by the use of traditional control practices, showing that their pest management concept is economically viable, and documenting and sharing that system so others can learn and apply the information to their situation.
*IPM innovators typically rely on pest management systems based on sound scientific principles of IPM, including a preference for using beneficial organisms and cultural practices for pest control when feasible. Pest problems are addressed as an overall situation, rather than pest by pest or at only one time of year.
*IPM Innovators often conduct research to find new ways for managing pests. This may include a range of activities from contracted research with academic institutions to on-site trials of participant-identified techniques.
*The organizational structure of the IPM Innovator may be very formal, such as a commodity advisory board, a resource conservation district, or a school district, or it may be less formal, such as a community organization that promotes reduced-risk pest management Many successful IPM innovators also have representatives from federal, state, or local government, academia, and the business community as advisors to or members of their organization.
*In addition, many IPM Innovators have a well-developed organization- and an educational component responsible for coordinating and working with participants to encourage the sharing of ideas and information. Many innovators provide training and educational programs for participants. Their outreach programs identify potential new participants and encourage them to join the system.
