Cascade Pest Control takes great care to treat your home as if it was its own. They comply with federal label directions. From where they treat to what they treat, Cascade technicians keep safety in mind. Cascade also focuses on following Integrated Pest Management philosophies. In IPM, all treatments are done on a continuum of care, with conservative, least invasive, least toxic methods considered first and more aggressive solutions approached as a last resort.
Technician Certifications:
Cascade technicians can apply these safe methodologies because they are extensively trained and certified. They are some of the highest credentialed technicians in the Seattle region. Cascade specialists are licensed in both company and third-party accreditation programs.
Every technician at Cascade is enrolled in an accreditation program through the prestigious Entomological Society of America (ESA). Through the ESA, they receive Certified IPM Technician (C.I.T.) and Association Certified Entomologist (A.C.E.) training.
