Hi does anybody have the contacts of a good pest control service?

There are a number out there but, as we have learned, it is key to have them specify what pesticides they will use. Our organization is arranging our regular residential mosquito spraying and one company initially said they would use organophosphates, a class of chemicals that has been banned by the US EPA for residential use (although agriculture use is permitted) because it causes irreversible damage to human nerve function by blocking enzymes used in both insects and humans - even trace amounts have been proven to adversely affect early childhood brain development (thanks to Sean Tavares for this research!)
