 Arrow
Exterminating Company, Inc. is an industry leader in
protecting public health and property. Since 1947, Arrow
Exterminating has provided professional pest management
services to residential, commercial and industrial clients
throughout Long Island and the greater metropolitan area.
All service programs are custom designed according to the
principles of Integrated Pest Management. IPM is an
environmentally sensitive approach to urban pest management.
The use of conventional chemical pesticides is virtually
eliminated. When a pesticide must be used to manage a public
health pest problem such as fleas, ticks, mosquitoes or
stinging insects such as bees and wasps, the material chosen
is always the least toxic material available. Protecting the
health and safety our clients and the environment is always
our first priority. Organic pesticides based on natural or
plant-derived materials are an essential part of our pest
management programs. These products are bio-degradable and
environmentally sensitive. We offer these products as
alternatives to conventional pesticide applications.

Pest Management Programs
IPM programs are ecologically-based and rely on
environmental management tactics such as sanitation and
structural maintenance to mitigate pest populations.
Chemical pesticide use is restricted to low-impact and
least-toxic materials. These protocols provide our clients
with alternatives to conventional pest management programs.
Green / Organic programs follow all IPM protocols. However,
the use of conventional pesticides is not permitted. Rather,
plant-based botanical materials are substituted. These
natural organic materials are formulated from essential
plant oils and other natural substances. These specialized
programs are available to residential, commercial,
industrial and institutional clients.

Drain Cleaning and Sanitizing
 Unsanitary,
improperly maintained floor drains become breeding sites for
pests. Accumulation of organic debris in the floor drains
provides food and harborage for cockroaches and flies.
Additionally, these organically-rich areas are breeding
sites for pathogenic bacteria related to outbreaks of food
poisoning. Odor problems are also connected to the floor
drains and are caused by the decomposition of the organic
materials in the drain.
Arrow Extermination’s Industrial Hygienist has formulated a
program to address this problem. Under his direction,
specially trained technicians will clean, sanitize and
decontaminate these resource sites. This results in a
reduction of flies and the potential of cross-contamination
of food and food preparation surfaces. |
