Effective Pest Control. Peace of Mind.
“Integrated Pest Management is good common sense and provides better long-term results.” - Ted St. Amand, President, Atlantic Green Solutions
At Atlantic Green Solutions, we recognize the benefits of IPM... and we're doing something about it!
As Maine's only registered IPM company and New England's sole provider of Green Shield Certified Services we've proven that we're committed to the concept of Integrated Pest Management as the way to approach pest control.
We think of ourselves first as investigators. We look at the source of the problem in order to find a solution and manage it.
At our state-of-the-art laboratory, our staff entomologists can identify various insects and monitor their numbers. By trapping pests on monitors, for instance, we can identify the species, determine the pest pressure and figure out the best way to approach the problem.
Our commitment is to educate consumers about their choices. And we promote non-chemical pest control whenever possible. The newer pesticides today target specific pests and are less persistent in the environment. We apply our expertise in the field to solve the underlying cause of pest problems, providing lasting pest control and reducing pesticide use.
Atlantic Green Solutions is one
of only eleven companies nationwide
to offer the benefits of Green Shield Certified Services.
The Integrated Pest Management Institute
of North America, an independent non-profit rating organization,
has introduced a program called Green Shield Certified which
uses a detailed audit to identify high performing pest management
professionals. These companies offer their customers non-chemical
preventive approaches and when necessary, and only as a
last resort, pesticide products with the lowest toxicity
and least potential for exposure to workers, children and
pets. A thorough evaluation of practices is made against
a rigorous standard.
For example, properly sealing cracks eliminates places where pests hide, rather than simply spraying these areas with pesticides for a short term solution.
“Both home and business owners need a way to identify companies and services that truly provide the highest level of IPM services. Atlantic Green Solutions meets that standard.” - Dr. Thomas Green, President, IPM Institute of North America
