The pest control industry is constantly researching new technologies and products that will advance the way we prevent and manage pests.  And as these treatment and monitoring developments evolve, the overarching goal is to also decrease the impacts they have on the environment and on non-target creatures, as well as the economic impact on bottom lines. What’s more, they may even change the way we communicate about pest control. Here are some of the latest pest-control technologies and products to be on the lookout for: Bio-Rational Materials If your facility currently utilizes an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, you won’t be surprised to hear that the pest control industry has and will continue to move toward least-impact products and services.

If you wonder how often your office windows should be cleaned, the answer is not as simple as you may expect it to be. In fact, it depends on many different factors, including the type of business you run.  The profile of your business can influence how often your office windows get dirty, both inside and out. In addition, there are other influencers that dictate how often you need  commercial window cleaning services , including: Landscaping – Although an office surrounded by trees is beautiful, office windows will probably need frequent cleaning due to the birds and insects associated with trees as well as dripping sap in some cases. When your office is located near a parking lot, you may also need to perform cleaning more often because there will be a lot more debris in the air. If you have mulched areas up against the building, you will also have the same problem. Weather – In rainy areas, office windows need to be cleaned more often in order to remove the mineral deposit

How Do I become OSHA Certified? Contrary to popular belief,  OSHA  does not actually certify workers and you cannot get "OSHA certified".

What Certification Does OSHA Require? While OSHA does not specifically address training or certification requirements for workers, many OSHA standards require that the employer train employees in specific safety and health aspects of their jobs. Training is voluntary and OSHA has released
