Green Pest Management

Our Signature Green Pest Control Service

Standard’s innovative Green Pest Management (“GPM”) program has been carefully designed for our sensitive accounts and those who may prefer a reduced risk approach to pest management. This service utilizes pest inspection and identification by our in house certified entomologist, monitoring and habitat modification practices and recommendations to reduce pest potential and to provide treatment if needed based on established thresholds with bio pesticides and other approved materials keeping records of all applications and recommendations.

Standard GPM
