Since 2001 A-Plus Pest Control has been looking for ways to “go green.” That year I wrote an article about keeping pests out for the Pioneer Press.

The 1^st principle that A-Plus lives by is IPM (Integrated Pest Management). We always ask questions and inspect 1^st, develop a plan to solve the problem and then, if necessary, treat with the least amount and safest product available.

This is where our natural products come in. For instance, a restaurant is having a bad infestation of fruit flies. Most companies come in and fog a chemical that kills the fruit flies. But, where is the source? In one case, my customer was dropping empty beer bottles down through a trap door in the bar to a barrel in the basement below. All that carbohydrate was feeding the flies. The same restaurant had pipes below the kitchen that were so greasy that the flies were having a picnic all the time.

We told them to stop dropping the bottles or to at least, wash them out first. We also told them to degrease the pipes. We treated all of the drains in the restaurant and bar with Plus Natural Enzymes Cleaner and then fogged with Plus Natural Enzymes Pest Eliminator. Even with terrific products, the problem was not solved until the customer helped us. This is IPM.

Some of our competitors are telling customers that our green service doesn’t work. I tell them about our Angie’s List Super Service Award for 2008 and 2009. Ask our customers who had ants and had a BT (Broadcast Perimeter Treatment) on their houses with Plus Natural Enzymes Cedar Choice Pro Concentrate              about our service. Ask Brian, the manager of Charter One Pavilion at Northerly Island (Remember Meigs Field?) Last year he reported no spiders or mosquitoes all year.

Use Plus Natural Enzymes Cedar Choice Mosquito Repellant for People and Pets on your skin and clothes or your pet’s fur and go DEET free at the park. The mosquitoes will stay away.

Yes, our service does work and so do all of our natural products. This is why we can always say, “We do it like we live there!” mmm.

Hi everyone. I’ve been promising to start writing a blog, so here it is. I want to start by talking about my philosophy of business. It’s very simple, “We do it like we live there!” “Wow,” you may say. I’ve heard Rick sing that, along with the, “mmm” many times, but what does it mean. (Go to Youtube & put in my whole name to hear the whole jingle as a sponsor of the Skokie Theater with guitar & guests).

The bible calls it reaping and sewing. Some people call it, “What goes around, comes around.” Some call it Karma. Some, the golden rule. Whatever you call it, it is a law of the universe. Plant corn an you don’t get wheat. Treat all people like you want to be treated and it will come back to you. Don’t give to get. Give because it is the right thing to do. Wherever you go, treat people like you would like to be treated. Make them feel important. Do service for them like they are your only customer and “like you live there” and watch what happens. That, in a nutshell, is why I feel that A-Plus and now Plus Natural, are successful companies. I just know that people who work for me are important, my customers are important, and my suppliers are important. The name of the game is communication.

Now, when you hear me sing, “We do it like we live there!”, you’ll know what I mean.

Look for my next blog: Green Pest Control and Products, Why, How and Does It Work?.
