Green Pest Control for Queens County Families

More and more Queens County homeowners are asking about eco-friendly pest control options — and we're happy to provide them. Modern pest management has come a long way from blanket chemical applications.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

IPM is the gold standard for environmentally responsible pest control. It focuses on:

1. Prevention first — eliminating conditions that attract pests

2. Monitoring — identifying exactly what pests are present and where

3. Targeted treatment — using the least toxic effective method

4. Follow-up — ensuring long-term results

Green Methods We Use

• Exclusion work — sealing entry points is the most effective and chemical-free method

• Botanical insecticides — derived from plants like chrysanthemums and neem

• Diatomaceous earth — natural powder that's effective against crawling insects

• Bait stations — targeted application that minimizes chemical exposure

• Heat treatment — for bed bugs, uses zero chemicals

• Biological controls — beneficial organisms that target specific pests
