Before we can answer that loaded, yet important, question,
please allow us to first talk about the pest control industry. Pest control has
been around since humans and insects have been interacting with one another.
However, the use of chemical agents began with the advent of agriculture and
the need to protect our crops from insect devastation. Agents such as lemon oil
and arsenic to DDT and herbicides emerged, developed, and changed along with
our knowledge of different chemical compounds and how they affect an insect’s
nervous system. To this day, we are still learning and trying to come up with
better and safer ways to implement pest control services. For years, there have
been a couple of huge nationwide pest control companies, but no one local and
easily found by their communities.
We at The Green Advantage saw this as a problem and felt
that dependable and safe pest control services should be available to our
community! Therefore, in 1994, The Green Advantage was founded with the idea of
bringing safe pest control solutions to our community and the surrounding
communities. We are a family run business that dedicate ourselves to best
serving our customers and staying abreast on the requirements for safe and
dependable pest control.
