Ecovar is considered the leader distributor in Green Pesticides in the Middle East and Africa, our full range of Green Pesticides provide the safer alternative for the Pest Control Professional and the end user.

 

Green Pesticides are derived from natural sources like Plant Oils (Botanicals) and Boron; they pose a high toxic profile on target insects while being safe on people, pets, non-target pests and the environment in general.

The Borate Story

Borates have long been used as a safer alternative to highly volatile, synthetic chemical pesticides. The pesticide qualities of borates have been used for at least 300 years. To stop decay or insects, builders and homeowners can apply borates to existing wood. Borates go directly on the wood and not into the soil. Borates kill termites and other wood-eating insects by poisoning the microorganisms in the insects’ digestive tracts that are needed to break down the wood’s cellulose. In other words, the termites starve to death.

 

Borates are also used to control ants, cockroaches, crickets, and silverfish. Borates are used as a liquid spray, in granular baits, and as a contact dust. Scientists believe insects die when borates enter their digestive tracts after consuming bait or grooming themselves. The borates kill the microorganisms in the insects’ gut. So far, insects have shown no ability to develop resistance to borates.

 

Borates are being used more and more in the conservation of wooden structures and artifacts. The chemical diffuses deep into wood fibers to stop wood decay fungi. They are used in restoration projects from old homes to old ships. If you are concerned about exposure to toxic chemicals for your family and the environment, request that your pest control company use Nisus products in your home.

The 5 Steps of GPM®

  1. Inspection: This is a critical first step that, when performed correctly and with diligence, can get your GPM® program on track. In this phase, your Pest Management Professional will assess your home’s risk of infestation. The PMP will identify any existing pests and note cracks, crevices and other points of entry into your home. He will uncover potential food sources, the presence of water sources, and look for signs of existing pest activity. From this, your PMP will develop a prevention plan that can drastically reduce your home’s susceptibility to invasion.
  2. Removal of food and harborage: In a chemically oriented approach to pest control, all other steps to discourage and control infestations are ignored in favor of introducing large amounts of pesticides into the environment. In an effective GPM® program, however, pests are first discouraged by creating an environment unsuitable for them. This means removing food and water supply sources (including leaky pipes), compost sites, general yard debris, accessible pet food, garbage and other food sources.
  3. Exclusion: During the inspection process, your Pest Management Professional will identify specific areas of vulnerability to pest invasion and create a customized plan for controlling and eliminating any problems without introducing unnecessary chemicals and hazards. Your PMP will maintain a vigilant effort to remove or seal points of entry into your home and keep them sealed. He will help you identify situations such as high moisture areas, overhanging branches or debris piles – which could attract pests or provide pathways into your home. This ongoing service has a major impact on keeping your Business/Home from becoming an attractive living site for insects, termites and other pests.
  4. Judicious usage of pesticides: Even after a thorough assessment of conditions, development of a management plan and creation of a “pest proofing” program, there may be the need to eliminate an existing infestation. Because in GPM®, pesticide product application is just one part of an effective multi-faceted program, it can be performed with restraint and focus. This means only those pesticides necessary to address your specific problem will be used and only in the locations and quantities necessary. And as much as possible, these products will be specially selected for lower toxicity to people, pets, non-target pests and the environment in general.
  5. Monitoring: The final part of GPM® is an ongoing monitoring program to ensure that your Business/Home maintains conditions that discourage pests and to identify the presence of pests before they become full-blown infestations.

Protect It

Your family, your home, your health, your life—put them all together and you have your world. With that world come responsibilities, like the need to keep it as safe and sound as you can make it. And one way to do that is to keep your home free from pest infestations. Insects play an important role in the earth’s eco-system, but when insects invade your world and become pests…it is time for action.

 

In another time and place, pest management just meant the application of pesticides to eliminate pests. Over the years, pest management has evolved into a more precise science. Leading manufacturers and pest management professionals have been refining products and methods in order to eliminate target pests with the lowest impact on non-target pests and the environment. Now many Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) are moving forward to create the next level of pest management. A solution based on your family and the environment.

 

Remember, this is your world we’re talking about, and in your world, there are options that can benefit your family. At the top of the list is something called Green Pest Management®, an environmentally sensitive, green solution that can provide the pest protection you want with the earth-centered properties you need to protect your world.
