That's why we use our BrandSmart PestTM approach, an exclusive pest management and prevention program that protects the health, property and reputations of commercial businesses in Seattle, Portland, Denver, Boise, Salt Lake City and Spokane as well as throughout the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions.

Unlike any other program on the market, our BrandSmart PestTM program delivers a powerful combination of benefits for commercial accounts.

Pest Prevention proactively eliminates pest-friendly conditions before they risk health, safety and property.

Brand Protection supports the sustained viability of your organization and our desire for a long-term business partnership.

Environmental Stewardship drives methods and techniques that minimize the environmental footprint of our services.

Sprague delivers solutions for our clients with long-term protection against risk. We believe this approach is an improvement over traditional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Typical IPM programs are reactive in nature, addressing existing pest issues that have already placed your business and customers at risk. Offered exclusively by Sprague Pest Solutions, BrandSmart PestTM is a proactive strategy that modifies the factors that allow pests to exist. It prevents pest populations from developing to a point where they pose a risk to health and property.

This BrandSmart PestTM approach blends the benefits of multiple pest management techniques to address pre-existing pest populations and multiple pest prevention methods to guard your facility against on-going threats. This synergy allows our services to protect your brand while minimizing our environmental footprint.

Bird B Gone, the leader in bird control products for commercial, industrial and residential applications now offers its Bird Jolt Flat Track bird deterrent in six different colors.

Ideal for deterring pest birds from ledges, signs, rooftops, I-beams, parapet walls, conduit, and virtually any flat or curved surface, the electrified flat tracks impart a harmless electric shock that convinces bird pests to stay away. The availability of these tracks in a rainbow of colors means that they blend in easily with their surroundings. The colors include clear, grey, stone, black, terracotta and red.

Humane and highly effective, Bird Jolt Flat Track is the electric track most often specified by architects and government agencies. Its specifically designed to deter birds from perching and roosting. The track effectively modifies a birds behavior, educating bird pests like pigeons, sparrows, gulls, starlings, crows and many other species to stay away.

Easy to install and set up, the flexible track features a UV-protected PVC base that bends a full 360 without compromising its integrity. This allows the track to easily follow the rounded surfaces of signage letters or other curved architectural features of a structure or building. The waterproof track features tight connections to ensure both safety and installation ease. Once installed, the low-profile track is virtually invisible, since it measures just 1/4" at its highest point. The track comes in 100 ft. rolls and can be glued down to any surface. The entire system can be powered by either an AC charger or a solar charger.

Pest bird droppings can eat into paint, fabric, plastic, metal and even degrade stonework. Bird droppings also create a health hazard, since they can carry any of 60 known diseases, including salmonella. Bird nesting debris can block vents, prevent AC units from functioning, and cause electrical fires around signage.

Bird Jolt Flat Track is the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing design to guard against track short outs. Its also the only system with patented glue troughs along the base to insulate the tracks conductors. To ensure durability and safety, the track features a corrosion resistant copper, tin-plated knitted wire. This wire is not only stronger than steel but resists the corrosive effects found in alkali or acidic environments. The unique knitted design incorporates a tube-within-a-tube construction for superior conductivity and strength.

Bird Jolt Flat Track is manufactured in the USA by Bird B Gone, the worlds largest manufacturer and distributor of bird- and critter-control products, providing effective and humane solutions for a pest-bird-free and critter-free environment.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the largest no-kill dog rescue in the Southeastern US, is pleased to receive generous donations from Hoffer Pest Solutions. These donations will help Big Dog Ranch save over $5,000 a year of much needed funding which can now go directly back into the care for the dogs. Hoffer Pest Solutions has donated equipment as well as flea and tick services that have served to prevent and protect the many dogs that are rescued from all over the US.

Hoffers Pest is a great partner and supporter who really believes in our mission. We could not be more thrilled to accept their donated services and partnership. We look forward to saving the lives of more dogs thanks to Hoffer's Pest Solutions, said Big Dog Ranch Rescue Manager, Jeff Jacobs.

Being based in Florida, dogs are especially vulnerable to fleas and ticks as they are outdoors so often. The warm and humid weather is an ideal climate for fleas and ticks that can be found in piles of leaves, shrubs, or burrowing in piles of dirt. Once a flea or tick latches onto a dog, they can carry the pests inside and easily spread and multiply, which is why Big Dog Ranch Rescue is so grateful that Hoffers Pest Solutions has donated flea and tick preventative treatments to their dogs.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue does a tremendous job caring for abandoned dogs. We are happy to be able to donate our services to their incredible cause. Big Dog Ranch Rescue has a wonderful team of caretakers, Eric Hoffer, Hoffer Pest Solutions President.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue started over 10 years ago as the Florida Weimaraner Rescue and in 2008 expanded to rescue all dogs. Since then, the innocent lives of over 10,000 dogs and puppies have been saved, with that number continuing to grow. Big Dog Ranch Rescue is committed to rescuing, nurturing and adopting dogs - both big and small into loving homes. Big Dog Ranch Rescue's goal is to give the gift of life to as many dogs as humanly possible, enrich the lives of those who adopt them, and by doing so, help create a better world.

Hoffer Pest Solutions was established in 1975 and is a family owned and operated company, based in South Florida. Among flea and tick pest control, they also provide residential and commercial pest and termite control, as well as lawn fertilization and spraying services throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Hoffers Pest Solutions has a highly trained and certified staff that is very knowledgeable when it comes to treating pests! They strive to deliver exemplary customer service and are passionate about how their customers and employees are treated.

Bird B Gone, the leader in bird control products for commercial, industrial and residential applications offers the latest innovations in bird control technologya bird deterrent laser called Agrilaser.

Deterring pest birds from open and semi-open spaces has long posed a costly and nagging challenge to property owners and managers. While noisemakers like propane cannons can scatter bird pests, they can also be disruptive and must be repeated often to keep birds from coming back. Lethal means of bird controlpoisons, pellet guns and inhumane trapsare illegal in many areas, as many birds are protected by law. Bird B Gones Agrilaser provides an effective, humane solution. It uses advanced, patented optical laser-beam technology to harmlessly repel pest birds over great distancesup to 2,000 meters. The handheld device is silent and completely portable. Pest birds react to the green beam as they would an approaching car, so they flee the area. Yet, unlike some deterrent devices, birds will not get used to the laser beams implied threat.

Developed with the help of ornithologists to repel a wide variety of pest birds, the Agrilaser repels geese, gulls, ducks, crows, cormorants, starlings, cranes, ravens, stilts, herons, songbirds, magpies and pigeons. Livestock such as cows, pigs and chickens will ignore the laser beam. The Agrilaser has been scientifically designed to remove even the most stubborn pest birds from open spaces like ball parks, stadiums, monuments, marinas, dump sites, ponds, golf courses and other troublesome areas. The Agrilaser is also highly effective in deterring pest birds in and around big box stores, warehouses, airplane hangers and other semi-enclosed areas. The device provides an easy, affordable, and silent way to remove troublesome birds.

Most effective during sunrise and sunset, and in overcast, rainy or foggy weather conditions, the Agrilaser is moved slowly over the ground towards the targeted birds. After using the Agrilaser for about seven days, birds will consider the area unsafe and will avoid the area. Each Agrilaser comes with a battery pack that consists of two rechargeable batteries and an associated power charger. A high quality case protects the Agrilaser and makes it easy to transport.

Bird B Gone is the worlds largest manufacturer and distributor of bird control products, providing effective and humane solutions to a bird-free environment. The company provides advice, training and installation services for those who need help with these and other bird control measures.

Gregory Pest Solutions announced today that it will be making cash donations to the South Carolina Make-A-Wish Foundation for every person who is brave enough to eat a bug at their booth (#191) during the Southern Home and Garden Show this weekend March 6-8 at the TD Convention Center in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Southern Home and Garden Show is such a great event for our community that we wanted to do something different this year. We want to do something meaningful for one of our favorite charities, said Tim Baumgarten, Director of Business Development for Gregory Pest Solutions. Make-A-Wish has done so much good for so many families in South Carolina. We wanted more people to be aware of the great work they do. And we want to support their efforts. Just yesterday, we had ninety-five people eat a bug for charity at a trade show in Myrtle Beach. We think the Greenville community is just as adventurous, if not more so. We hope many will be able to come to the show and stop by Gregorys booth to eat a bug for charity! Phil Gregory, Chairman & CEO of Gregory Pest Solutions, sits on the Board of Directors of Make-A-Wish South Carolina.

Is eating a bug safe? Surprisingly, it isat least the way they will be offered for this charity event this weekend. The products that Gregory will be using as part of the charity fund raiser are from actual food suppliers who specialize in edible insects that are prepared, inspected, and marketed under the same guidelines and governmental oversight as other commercial-grade food products U.S. families consume every day. Gregory Pest Solutions does not recommend that anyone eat bugs right out of nature, however. Its best to source edible bugs from food suppliers with experience in proper insect preparation.

About Make-A-Wish Foundation in South Carolina

Make-A-Wish South Carolina is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to grant wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

Make-A-Wish South Carolina got its start with the first wish on November 10, 1984 with a child named Louis. Louis, age 5, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. His wish was to see a big time football game. He attended a home game at the Citadel in Charleston. He was presented with his own team uniform and was able to run out onto the field with the players. Louis watched the game not in the stands like the other fans, but on the benches with the players. Since then, the chapter has granted 2,000 wishes and continues to grant over 130 wishes throughout the state each year.

Gregory Pest Solutions has been a part of the Upstate of South Carolina since its founding in 1972 in Greenville. Since then, Gregory has grown quickly to cover eleven states throughout the Atlantic and Southeast regions and has become the thirty-seventh largest pest control company in the country.

An expert says the changing urban landscape requires a refining of dengue-control methods.

PETALING JAYA: One of the most effective ways of combating dengue is to beautify the environment with flowering plants, according an environmental health expert.

Veeramohan Supramaniam, a spokesman for the Malaysian Association of Environmental Health (MAEH), said mosquitoes would often become sluggish upon feeding on nectar, making them easy prey to bigger insects, spiders, frogs and lizards.

We have to re-establish these creatures in the urban landscape with flowering decorative plants rather than palm trees and cactii that dont flower, he told FMT in a recent interview.

He said the relevant authorities are moving towards such a change.

Veeramohan, through MAEH, has been conducting field research and epidemiological studies to learn more about the dengue threat and is engaged in advising the authorities on ways to refine the existing prevention programme, which is based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.

He said the WHO guidelines focused on outbreaks at residential units. He acknowledged that programmes based on those guidelines had helped contain the dengue menace, but only to some extent.

With the changing urban landscape of Malaysia, he said, the old paradigm has to be questioned and re-tested and a method taking account of new research and data should be applied.

Pioneer methods

He said a dengue outbreak was something totally preventable.

Bird B Gone, the leader in bird control products for commercial, industrial and residential applications now offers an effective and humane combo of sparrow control products that deliver a on-two punch to this bird problem. Rarely have two new products been so effectively dovetailed to solve a nagging bird problem.

Sparrow Charmer Bird Caller Lures them

This device lures sparrows into a bird trap by broadcasting Bird B Gones proprietary sparrow call. Field tested and scientifically proven to attract sparrows, Sparrow Charmer is deal for use in Big Box and retail stores, warehouses, or any large indoor or outdoor space where pest sparrows are present. The device features separate remote control functions up to 150 meters away. A volume control varies the output up to 170 db. The call emitted will attract sparrows as far away as two acres. A built-in speaker with push-button controls makes operation fast and easy. An additional speaker is available to extend the callers coverage. The caller plays its luring calls for up to 18 continuous hours. A rechargeable lithium battery provides both convenience and economy. The Sparrow Charmer comes complete with mounting clip, remote control USB cord, USB power adapter and power cord.

Sparrow Sky Trap Humanely Captures Them

Working in tandem with the Sparrow Charmer, this highly effective sky trap has been specially designed to capture sparrows in high traffic areas. The hanging trap features a proven V-top entry design that allows it to hang from the ceiling or sit on a flat surface. The pop-up feature makes this trap 24 x 12 x18 high. A wider/longer pan (30 x 16) captures droppings or other debris that may fall from the inside the trap. The trap and slide-out pan (made of heavy 26 gauge sheet metal) can be easily cleaned. It includes perches and water/feed containers inside to calm birds after capture.

Sparrows: a Nagging Nuisance to Property Owners

Prolific throughout the lower 48 states, house sparrows have a 6-inch wingspan and are typically 5-6 inches long. They will often hop on tables, benches and chairs of open-air restaurants to scrounge for leftovers and dropped crumbs. The birds will look for convenient nesting sites and open trash containers. House sparrows are not tidy or clean. Their droppings are both unsightly and unsanitary, carrying such diseases as chlamydiosis, salmonellosis, Newcastle disease, toxoplasmosis and transmissible gastroenteritis. Bird droppings around restaurants can lead to health code violations. Nesting sparrows can also be disturbingly noisy. Most house sparrows strongly prefer to nest in the vents, attic vent louvers, crevices, and under eaves of buildings. Some restaurant owners have tried stuffing their dryer, attic and fan vents with screens, but when these become blocked with leaves and other debris, they can eventually create serious venting problems. Bird B Gones Sparrow Charmer & Sparrow Sky Trap Combo effectively and humanely gets rid of the sparrow problem.

Bird B Gone is the worlds largest manufacturer and distributor of bird control products, providing effective and humane solutions to a bird-free environment. The company provides advice, training and installation services for those who need help with these and other bird control measures.

New Sparrow Charmer & Sparrow Sky Trap Combo Delivers One-Two Punch to Sparrow Problem

New Zealands commercial fruit and vegetable growers are asking everyone going to the World Cup Cricket match at Eden Park tomorrow to help smash an unwanted Aussie visitor for a six.

The industry that takes every opportunity to promote healthy eating is taking the unusual step of asking fans not to take fresh fruit or vegetables with them into the stadium.

This request comes in the wake of last weeks discovery of a small localised population of Queensland fruit flies in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn.

Eden Park, the venue for Saturdays World Cup Cricket clash between Australia and New Zealand, is right on the border of the controlled area.

This means no fruit and vegetable material can be taken out of the stadium.

"We are asking cricket fans to leave their fruit and vegetables at home when they head to the stadium," Horticulture New Zealand chief executive Peter Silcock says.

"You know it must be a serious situation if we are asking people NOT to have fruit and vegetables."

Three industry groups have joined together to pay for a full page advertisement in todays New Zealand Herald to ask cricket fans not to take fruit to the ground.

"We feel it is the most pragmatic approach. It makes sense to ask people not to take food into the ground which would ultimately need to be thrown away as they were leaving," Pipfruit New Zealand chief executive Alan Pollard says.

The horticulture industry is united in its support of the Ministry for Primary Industries response to the fruit fly.
