Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management is a continuous system of controlling pests (weeds, diseases, insects or others) in which pests are identified, action thresholds are considered, all possible control options are evaluated and selected control(s) are implemented. Control options-which include biological, chemical, cultural, manual and mechanical methods-are used to prevent or remedy unacceptable pest activity or damage. Choice of control option(s) is based on effectiveness, environmental impact, site characteristics, worker/public health and safety, and economics. The goal of an IPM system is to manage pests and the environment to balance benefits of control, costs, public health and environmental quality. IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options.

The application of pesticides is limited by GreenScape to only a very few qualified associates to limit our potential for damage to our clients property, worker/public health and safety or the environment.

GreenScape is licensed to apply pesticides in Tennessee , Arkansas , Mississippi and Louisiana . We feel the proper use of pesticides is the absolute key to our success in maintaining the appear and health of our projects.

This is an evolving science and we look forward to the development of further aids to our work. A growth regulator to diminish our labor to mow and to prune is the next key improvement; we are diligently monitoring this improvement.
