ESA Certifications
The Entomological Society of America, founded in 1889, serves professional and scientific needs of entomologists and individuals in related fields. As such ESA is an independent, outside party whose certifications are highly sought after and respected in the pest management industry. More information
ESA CIT Certification
Certified IPM Technician as designated by ESA. This designation insures that the technician is trained and qualified to adhere to the rigors of Integrated Pest Management practices—A least toxic approach to pest management. It designates a practical understanding of pest organisms and their biology, pest management principles including inspection & monitoring, as well as various control strategies.
Schools and medical facilities typically require such an approach to pest management, however, Cascade employs IPM for all our clients.
Note: ESA requires continuing education to maintain CIT certification.
ESA ACE Certification – Association Certified Entomologist
This is perhaps the most coveted certification for pest management professionals. It designates a foundational understanding of entomology including vertebrate pests, their biology, health and economic impact. It covers inspection & identification, monitoring, selection and implementation of control methods, evaluation of management efforts and the identification of a host of structural pests.
An Associate Certified Entomologist is duly qualified to establish integrated pest management in the most sensitive of environments, such as schools, daycares, hospitals, research laboratories and food processing facilities.
Note: ESA requires a minimum of fives years experience as well as continuing education to maintain ACE certification.
These certifications are from the Entomological Society of America, an esteemed institution with rigorous standards. Every technician at Cascade has either earned such certification or are currently being trained and coached to achieve such certification.
April Fool’s Day, 1979, Cascade Exterminators Was Born
Started in 1979, Cascade quickly became known for the efficiency, quality, and dependability of its pest control service. Being native to the Pacific Northwest we held a high value for Washington’s abundant natural environment and the welfare of its people and communities.
I (Kurt Treftz) became fascinated by construction practices that either resisted or succumbed to pest infestation and resulting damage. I took a keen interest in entomology, collecting and studying various insects and other arthropods. What’s more, this being the early years of the EPA and the environmental movements, I had a passion for developing least-toxic approaches to pest control.
As a result, Cascade Pest Control pioneered various approaches to solving pest control needs and earned recognition and various awards for safer and more environmentally friendly pest control.
While no one should tolerate pest infestations in their home or business, our intimate encounters with various insect and other pests have given us a measure of respect for them. For instance, carpenter ants and termites are native to a forest ecosystem. However, they can easily damage the structural integrity of your home or business.
On the other hand—although rats are clever, have amazing abilities, and are extremely tenacious—we also know they are invasive species. Seattle was declared “rattiest city” due to our huge rat population. And they annually cause damage to homes, businesses, and autos in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Most importantly, we have great people making up our ranks here at Cascade. Each person is dedicated to serving you, our client, as well as understanding your property and its vulnerability to pests. And amongst the Cascade team are second- and even third-generation descendant of the founders as well as some very dedicated long-term personnel.
So, as Cascade Pest Control continues its rich history of serving residents and businesses of Washington state with the highest standards of practice we invite you to partner with us to protect your property, health, and business reputation.
