  Environmental Benefit:

  The business claims “100% Eco Friendly,” “part of GAM Exterminating’s commitment to green and environmentally friendly practices is our strict following of the methods expressed in the philosophy of Integrated Pest Management (IPM),” “Eco-Friendly,” “control pests in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way,“ “by following our systematic IPM approach, we are able to provide our clients the necessary effective results they need while still remaining to our green commitment,” “Eco-Friendly Pest Control Services,” “our ‘Green Services’ use pest management practices that do not rely on chemical applications alone to control pests. If a chemical is required, organically derived materials and those exempt from EPA registration are used,” “however, some pests such as bed bugs, fleas, bees and wasps are treated using materials that are designated by the EPA as ‘least toxic’ and/or ‘low impact,’” “GAM Exterminating remains committed to providing environmentally-sensitive pest control services,” “our ‘Green Services’ will continue to evolve in order to provide effective pest management while protecting the health and safety of our clients and the environment,” and “our products are biodegradable” and “we apply a non-toxic and soap free cleaning solution to make the process safe for all the members of your household.”  According to the BBB Code of Advertising: “advertisers should avoid broad, unqualified environmental claims such as ‘green,’ or ‘eco-friendly.’ Other claims such as ‘degradable,’ ‘recycled,’ and ‘non-toxic,’ should only be used when substantiated and properly qualified. Environmental Certifications and seals of approval may be used if properly issued. Additional disclosures are needed if not issued by an independent third-party.”
