Planet
Here at Great Western Pest Control, our commitment to sustainability goes far beyond regulatory state compliance and we are continually looking for ways of minimizing the environmental impact of our business practices. We have been pioneering practices in the pest control industry to reduce the use of energy, water, chemicals and other products that may be harmful to the environment if used incorrectly.
What to expect from our process:
Water
We are decreasing water usage, and improving water quality in significant, measurable ways. Being an Arizona based company, water is a precious commodity, and we are always conscious of how much water we use. By reducing our water usage, and being water conscious, we are reducing our environmental impact.
Energy
Great Western Pest Control is committed to achieving carbon neutrality and are conscious of our carbon footprint. We are always working to decrease our carbon footprint by providing our technicians routs as condensed as possible to reduce drive miles. We have equipped our technicians with the latest in pest control application equipment and technology, such as electric pumps instead of the old traditional gas engine pumps. These small steps we believe can lead to having a large environmental impact, by being a leading example in helping to make our local communities a cleaner more desirable place to live.
Chemicals
Great Western Pest Control uses nothing but the best, highest quality chemicals. We are an IPC (Integrated Pest Company), meaning we are always on the lookout for new products and are finding beneficial ways to integrate them into our services. In the pest control industry, pesticide manufactures are always producing new products and methods of controlling pests, and being A Customer of Great Western Pest Control means you will always have the safest, highest quality, up-to-date products available.
Product
Sustainability begins with our products. At Great Western, we are always monitoring how the manufactures of our products create and form the chemicals we use. We only buy from manufacturers that are making concerted efforts to produce clean, safe, reliable products and chemicals. Our Great Western Technicians will not ever apply a product that doesn’t adhere to our extremely high standards of safety and effectiveness. This cradle-to-grave assessment gives us the essential knowledge and understanding of where the products that we use and apply come from, through application and the environmental impact that they will have once applied. We believe in making the extra effort to follow our product life cycles, to ensure a safe, quality service for you the customer, because that is what Great Western is about.
