Starting Small and Helping a lot of people

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:50:52 +0100

Welcome!

Thanks for clicking and reading about what we care about:

We are a small company in Greenville, SC started by a father and son. A lot has changed in the last year in the local Pest Control Industry. We see new pest control companies starting up and thank goodness! We need help with the Bed Bug epidemic. We also see pest control companies going out of business or being bought.

But, I am also seeing other companies starting to copy our approach to pest control thinking they are rendering the same service as Organic Pest Solutions. Applying Natural products or saying that you are "going green" does not mean the company really cares about being "green" for the safety of their customers or for their employees.

One big pest control company in Greenville has recently put up a page on their site that is titled "Organic Pest Solutions" and talks about their technicians that are trained to use minimal chemicals and protect your family.

Now, you tell me. What kind of company starts marketing there "natural" side with my company name? Also, why do they offer an alternative? By saying that their "organic pest solutions" protect are they not saying their other synthetic solutions are not as safe?

If a company is really green, they will endeavor to use only green products and stick to their convictions--not try to take customers and market-share away from those who have dedicated themselves to doing it naturally or not at all.

Over the next weeks, I will be outlining how our customer service is the best in the business--Please, come on back for a read. We are passionate about great service and Green Pest Control.

The Bleeding edge of Pest Control--Greenville SC?

Fri, 21 May 2010 12:23:39 +0100

Hey Readers,

Updating after a really long time. A lot has changed since I started this business a month ago. Picking up Clients everyday--most everyone I talk to is calling because they are sensitive to chemicals, health conscious, have children or pets, or know a good thing when they see it!

Just got done with several treatments today--Treating two residential clients, one with Ant Problems and another with a new renovation. Then I headed over to my largest client 221 North Main Street (it is going to be nice!) to treat the full Service restaurant and Basement. I have the greatest Clients! Love getting to know them and learning how I can help them...

Anyway, enough personal--Let's get to the meat. The bleeding edge of Pest Control...

Well, my last post was about using MycoPesticides / Biological Pesticides to control Termites and Fire Ants and Carpenter Ants. This post is about that, as well as, using target specific Fungi to kill and inoculate properties for a lot longer than traditional Botanical or Synthetic Pesticides protect a property.

What if I could tell you that you could treat your property one time and be done with many common pests for 5 years? Wouldn't you jump at it? Well, being on the bleeding edge is where those claims will be possible. Organic Pest Solutions will offering the best service with no thought to suppressing new technology or knowledge in the interest of profiting from using inferior products for reoccurring service contracts... I am interested in developing the best products and practices on the market and working myself out of business helping my clients become "Pest Free, Safely and Naturally." There are always other problems that I can solve through other businesses.

That is why Tradd Cotter (Mushroom Mountain) and Sam Leslie (Organic Pest Solutions) are teaming up to work together on bringing new knowledge and technology to South Carolina, the United States, and the World. We are going to be working on several projects--check back for more info as we keep developing ideas and practices and products. We are proponents of Capitalism with a conscience. Be Profitable, but not at the expense of clients. We want our respective clients to know that we are going out of the way to serve them and are interested in listening to them!

This joint venture will be bigger than both companies--it will help more people than we could help separately.

Know this--what you thought was impossible is--in fact--very possible. Your understanding of impossible is informed by your experience and knowledge. Pest Control may be small on most individual's radars, but advances in the field will touch all sectors of industry, production, service, and life. Thanks for reading and learning with me.

Tradd Cotter--Killing Termites and Fire Ants with Mushrooms

Fri, 21 May 2010 12:22:06 +0100

Hey everybody, I am really excited to tell you about Tradd Cotter and Mushroom Mountain. Tradd has been working with Mushrooms for years and has developed a strain of mushroom that will target Fire Ants and Tertmites--Essentially inoculating your property and home from Termites and Fire Ants!

Are you kidding? This is the breakthrough of the century! Can you believe what we can do with Mushrooms?

Tradd's strain does not target humans or pets and is completely safe for use around homes. His Strain is considered a Biological Pesticide.

The reason that I am not spreading these mushroom spores on my client's yards yet is because it is tied up in court by a major pesticide manufacturer. Tradd and Paul Stamets are using mycology for Pest Control and EcoRemediation. Mushrooms are amazing!

Please check out Paul's talk on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world! here

Also, here is Tradd Cotter's Youtube channel here and a story on Tradd specifically about his Biological Pesticides here. Liberty, SC at its best!

Thanks to Tradd and Paul for their hard work for all of us!
