We get asked a lot about “all-natural treatment options,” for mosquito control, and some of our competitors advertise these all-natural treatment options. At Pestecs we stay on top of best-practice and our goal is to truly minimize the use of harmful chemicals, but we are also skeptical of “all-natural” claims, and we firmly believe in being 100% transparent with what we are doing.
Mosquitoes have been in the news lately, and there was a headline about West Nile Virus being found in West Haven, CT. The truth is that some mosquitoes test positive for WNV in Connecticut almost every year. The State is also warning residence…
In Fairfield County, Lyme Disease is the most important tick-borne disease to manage. Some experts estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of Deer Tick nymphs in our region may carry Lyme! But the question remains…What can a homeowner do to effectively and responsibly protect themselves and their family?
At PesTecs our approach combines a deep understanding of best practices in tick control, with our desire to minimize the use of pesticides, all resulting in chemical applications to your yard only when those applications are most necessary and effective.
Mosquitoes are a nuisance, and arguably the most annoying of all the pests we encounter at certain times of the year. Some of our competitors would have you believe that the only good mosquito is a dead mosquito, but that’s simply not true. It’s important to remember that the relationship between pest exposure and pesticide exposure is inverse; the more we reduce your exposure to pests by treating for mosquitoes, the more we increase the amount of pesticides you and the environment will be exposed to.
At PesTecs, we take a more scientific approach to a very old problem with the hope that we can minimize pesticide use while achieving acceptable levels of pest reduction. By making use of available data we can target treatment for when we will have the greatest impact on nuisance mosquito species, and ensure that we are treating areas most likely to be inhabited by the pests we are trying to manage.
At PesTecs, your specific situation is more than just your address and payment method. That’s why before making any chemical treatment to your home or yard, we insist that PesTecs supervisor meet with you to discuss the context and review the recommended treatment plan and provide you with other available options.
