Respect for the environment is essential in pest control. We use EPA-registered products and, where possible, aim to minimize our pesticide use through our integrated pest management (IPM) approach.
Our GreenPro and QualityPro certifications demonstrate our dedication to safeguarding people, pets, beneficial species, and the environment.
GreenPro certification requires our technicians to pass a rigorous national examination on integrated pest management and adhere to stringent protocols that prioritize risk reduction.
Environmentally conscious pest control focuses on reducing environmental harm by, where possible, decreasing dependence on chemical pesticides. The approach emphasizes non-chemical strategies—including exclusion, sanitation practices, and habitat adjustments—to manage and prevent pest activity.
This IPM-based strategy reserves pesticide use for situations where it's truly warranted and justified. The objective is successful pest management that prioritizes the well-being of people, pets, and ecosystems.
Our goal is to highlight the underlying causes of pest problems rather than simply treating visible symptoms. This philosophy reflects our belief in pest management that complements the environment rather than compromising it.

We've been safeguarding homes and businesses for nearly a century, with integrated pest management principles guiding our work every day.
• Family and pet safety: Our non-chemical pest control methods, including exclusion techniques and trapping systems, help minimize pesticide dependency. When pesticides become necessary, we'll explain all relevant safety measures.
• GreenPro certified standards: We adhere to demanding national benchmarks for sustainable, responsible pest management practices, including GreenPro and QualityPro.
• Low-impact pesticides: Depending on the target pest and level of infestation, we may use BioRational or EPA Minimum Risk Pesticides, which can reduce the impact of pest control on non-target pests and contain low-impact active ingredients, respectively.
• Protecting local pollinators: We work to safeguard pollinators and beneficial insect populations, relocating them whenever feasible.
• Sustainable prevention: By emphasizing exclusion and preventive strategies where possible, we help limit the need for chemical treatments down the road.
• Ongoing expertise: Technicians are continually trained and keep up to date with emerging pest threats, innovations in pest control, and updated safety procedures.

"Green pest control" is a term used to describe pest management that aims to reduce environmental impact — but it doesn't have a single, fixed definition. In practice, pest control that's kinder to the environment tends to take a more holistic approach, like integrated pest management, which combines inspection, exclusion, habitat modification, and targeted treatments rather than relying solely on pesticides. The goal is to address the root causes of pest activity while minimizing the use of chemical products wherever possible.
It depends on the pest, the severity of the infestation, and the environment being treated. For many common household pests, an integrated pest management approach — combining exclusion, habitat modification, and targeted treatments — can be just as effective as more pesticide-reliant treatments.
However, certain situations, such as severe infestations or industry-specific challenges such as shipping and food processing, may call for more intensive treatments, such as fumigation. Your Ehrlich technician will walk you through all proposed options and help design a treatment plan that works for you.
There is no fixed definition of “green pest control”, but broadly speaking, a green pest control product might demonstrate reduced environmental impact.
We favor these products while also employing non-chemical pest control techniques such as mechanical traps, exclusion barriers, and environmental modifications.
Should a particular treatment need temporary relocation, your technician will clearly outline the safety protocols and timeframe. Every service is customized to accommodate your family's schedule and requirements.
Many common pests can be effectively managed with non-chemical pest control strategies. Rodents, wildlife, birds, and various other household pests can be controlled using exclusion, mechanical trapping, improved sanitation, and consistent monitoring.
