Things have changed in a big way throughout the New York City metro area in addition to the country as a whole. At a point prior to present day, food labeled with the term “Organic” has been difficult to find. It was once relegated to very specific stores and marketed through health and lifestyle conscious consumers. Organic foods had also been thought of as a product with a higher price tag meant for a more affluent demographic.
Oh how times have changed. Organic foods are now found in greater quantities throughout mainstream grocery providers. With a generation that’s been raised with more environmental awareness and growing health problems related to obesity, organic foods have never been more relevant than now. Standard Pest Management specializes in providing pest control services for organic food production facilities throughout Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Westchester County, Long Island, NY and Northern, NJ.
Why Choose Standard?
With that said, we want you to know that there is a difference between the terms “Green” and “Organic.” These two are not interchangeable. There are appropriate use case scenarios in which one should be used and the other shouldn’t. We’ll discuss that here. It’s important to us because we tend to get a lot of questions surrounding this topic and there seems to be much confusion among other things about these types of pest management. There are many companies out there that tend to brand themselves as being environmentally conscious, “Green Pest Management Providers” or “Organic Pest Management Providers,” but more often than not; this just isn’t the case.
Organic pest management is a service we provide in specific situations to specific types of clients that require it. It involves using integrated pest management techniques to control a pest population and proactive prevention solutions. We would provide you with plenty of information such as good sanitation techniques, preventative measures, and mechanical measures.
Green Pest Management can be performed for a much larger area of customers or unique industries. We typically offer these solutions for those trying to obtain LEED Certification or want to keep standards up throughout a “Green Building.”
We’ll use the very best integrated pest management techniques in an effort to prevent any problems from sprouting up but we can also take a more aggressive approach in eradicating bugs. For example, we may use a pesticide or bait stations that have far less of an environmental impact than the norm.
