Declare a commitment to strive to reflect these values as we manage all our affairs, particularly in the providing of pest control services;
Recognize that when we use pesticides, they, while valuable when used correctly, carry a potential for hazard to both the natural environment and to public health and that this is one of the primary reasons we have been set apart as licensed professionals; therefore, we declare a commitment to the informed, conscientious, and judicious use of these products;
Declare a commitment to the creative implementation of meaningful Integrated Pest Management. |
