The Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program was created by the EPA in 1994 to promote more responsible low-risk pest control. The goal? To minimize health and environmental risks through education, innovation, and sustainable practices such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
As one of a small number of organizations to achieve PESP Gold Member status, Mosquito Joe is dedicated to reducing pesticide exposure where you live, work, and play, educating communities on science-backed pest control, and advancing eco-friendly practices in our industry. We’re proud to be recognized for our continual commitment to smarter, low-risk pest management—protecting your home and the environment.
An Integrated Pest Management Approach
When it comes to outdoor pest control, one-size-fits-all treatments don’t cut it. That’s why Mosquito Joe utilizes Integrated Pest Management—a strategy recommended by the EPA that combines science, smart planning, and eco-friendly pest control methods to effectively get rid of pests while minimizing risk to people, pets, property, and pollinators.
Here’s how our IPM approach makes a difference:
- Customized Solutions: We assess your property’s needs and tailor treatments for the best results.
- Targeted Treatments: Instead of blanket spraying, we use strategic applications to maximize effectiveness and reduce pesticide use.
- Eco-Conscious Products: We offer botanical, natural, and low-impact options designed with the environment in mind.
- Ongoing Education: We help homeowners understand preventative actions like eliminating standing water, maintaining landscaping, and using traps or natural deterrents.
This means smarter and more sustainable pest control for you and your family!
