This method is recognized for being both effective and environmentally-friendly, utilizing a blend of practical strategies and sustainable pest control techniques. Notably, Mosquito Joe focuses on preventative measures from the outside, which helps to lower pesticide exposure within homes.

Lou Schager, the president of Mosquito Joe, expressed gratitude for this honor, stating, "We are incredibly honored to receive the EPA's PESP Gold Level designation. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of our customers and communities by utilizing environmentally responsible practices. Through our partnership with the EPA, we aim to set a new standard in pest control that protects both people and the environment."
