There are many pages of pest control companies on the internet and in the phone book, however there are only a select few that offer excellent green pest control services, and in Brevard County, Florida, Slug-A-Bug Pest Control is one of those top-notch companies. Slug-A-Bug's website offers a full list of the services that range from termite control, bed bug control as well as lawn care services. Additionally, you can read about the founder of the company, Doug Vander Poest, and the vision he had for a client-focused company that also had respect for the environment. In the nearly 30 years since the company was founded, it has grown in stature and commitment to excellence. It earned one of the first, prestigious Quality Pro certifications issued by the National Pest Management Association. Community involvement has long been a part of Slug-A-Bug's profile. Through programs like Homes for our Troops (offering help to injured veterans) and We Help Brevard (helping senior citizens find elder-friendly services) Slug-A-Bug stays in touch with the people that have given so much of themselves to the county. The company also supports organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Brevard Neighborhood Association through free services and contributions. Slug-A-Bug is committed to green pest control interventions and low impact pest control solutions. Whether you need a mosquito barrier, termite detection and extermination, rodent removal, or lawn care, Slug-A-Bug can help. If you have a pest control issue, you can schedule a free inspection from a Slug-A-Bug technician. The pest management professional will check your property—inside and out—looking for evidence that pests are present. They will make suggestions for things like: removing dead leaves, cutting back shrubs, and filling in places where water gathers as well as others, depending on the particular pest. These precautions will help discourage pests from swarming and nesting. If pests are already present, the technician may suggest a low impact intervention that will effectively resolve the problem without harming your existing plants, lawn or desirable garden critters like butterflies and earthworms. The products used are held to the highest Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Many of their interventions—such as the canine termite detection service and the Acoustical Emissions Device—don't require any chemicals at all. Slug-A-Bug continues to be committed to environmental stewardship and to that end invests a lot of time and energy looking for products that are effective as well as a lower toxicity and socially responsible. When you're in need of an excellent company to help you control pests in and around your home, or if you have a lawn that just isn't living up to the others in the neighborhood, give Slug-A-Bug a call. One of their highly-qualified technicians will be happy to work with you to build a program that meets your specific needs and pocketbook; and you'll be doing your part to help keep Brevard County green.
