Changes Being Made to Pyrethroid Labels in the Pest Management Industry – NY Pest Control

Posted on May 9, 2012 with No Comments

New federal labels are coming on line that will restrict how pest management professionals use pyrethorids.

The revised pyrethroid labels contain mandatory and advisory language in two areas: environmental hazard statements and directions for use including “To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters.”

Applicators are advised to apply the product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours. Liquid concentrate users should rinse application equipment over the treated area, and broadcast granular users should sweep granules off sidewalks, driveways and streets back onto the lawn or garden to help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.  “In our judgment, these changes to the label are advisory, not mandatory, and are not enforceable,” said Rosenberg.

JP McHale Pest Management has reviewed the new restrictions with our staff and all technicians are thoroughly educated and trained to follow such protocols.  For more information on the changes being made to pyrethroid labeling, you can visit the the Fact Sheet in the Pesticide Section on the EPA’s website; or read The National Pest Management Association’s public policy on changing pyrethroids.

Christmas in July

Posted on August 2, 2011 with No Comments

On Saturday, July 30th, employees of JP McHale Pest Management ventured out to the Community Food Pantry at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Mohegan Lake for a morning of heartfelt community service. Our employees in attendance are also members of the Community Action Group at JP McHale, which chose to work with this specific food pantry several years ago. We have since formed a solid partnership between ourselves and the Community Food Pantry.

The Community Action Group sparked the interest of their fellow co-workers a month in advance to prepare for the event “Christmas in July”. Large boxes were placed in designated areas around the office for several weeks to accept clothing donations. On Saturday, our employees set up several tables with over 400 pounds of clothing that visitors of the food pantry could collect as they passed by. The turnout was phenomenal, and our employees had the opportunity to meet various members of our community and help in making their day a little brighter.

JP McHale Pest Management is very proud of their employees and their genuine dedication to the community around us. We look forward to future community service events that our Community Action Group has in the works!
