All Green Pest Control

5.0

By pestcontrolman6

We had rats living under our house. We had to do something fast because my wife is terrified of rats. Dave from All Green Pest Control came out and figured out the problem and told us what we could do to help eliminate the rats. He went under the house took care of the rat problem faster than promised and at a reasonable price. He also showed up on time, too--which is rare these days. Vern--Federal Way, WA ...read more

All Green Pest Control

5.0

By Andrea

Dave is your guy in Pierce County! He is SO knowledgeable and does such a thorough inspection to make sure he gets rid of any problem. With Spring coming up, I can finally rest assured we are not going to be terrorized by the huge spiders that sometime show up running across our carpet. Our house has a lot of trees around it and I feel so much better having a local person that is so excellent, personable and available, versus dealing with a big chain company as I have always done in the past. I am comforted by the fact that the products he uses are not totally toxic too (only to bugs). Great Job Dave! You are our pest control guy for life! ...read more

I started having Flea Busters treat my house to eliminate fleas in 1994. Wow! The results was fabulous and it lasted for 15 months. Every claim Flea Busters makes is true.Since 1994 Flea Busters has provided professional and effective service 9 times at three different addresses. I can't recommend them enough. I will always have Flea Busters provide service for me. Thank you Flea Busters! ...read more

Wet weather is no excuse not to be safe !

The Place you hang your hat . You are the only one to control you environment The your health depends on the choices you make . For you and your families sake choose to have the air you breath free from contaminants such as mold or any other indoor air polution From the CDC`S siteMold Fine ParticulatesWhat are Mold Fine Particulates?The discovery of Mold Fine Particulates and their ability to cause disease and adverse affects in human health is the single most important medical discovery regarding Mold Exposure and Mold Sickness in the history of the science. If left untreated infections created by Mold Fine Particulates can become very serious, and have been documented as a direct cause of disease and death in human beings. The fine particulates produced by mold have now been medically labeled as more dangerous to human health than mold spores themselves. There are eleven species of Fungi that have been labeled as “Pathogenic”, or are known to cause disease in the human body. These Pathogenic Fungi can cause severe invasive fungal infections (IFI) in broad range of people exposed to them.Persons that are in the greatest category of risk for IFI are:·Expectant Mothers·Children under the age of fifteen (15)·Persons over the age of fifty eight (58)·Persons whom have suffered from Cancer / Cancer Treatment·Diabetetics·Burn Victims·Persons diagnosed as “Immuno-Compromised”, or “Immuno-Suppressed”·ARC related illnesses·HIV Positive·Alcoholics·Cirrhosis of the liver·Liver disorders / disease  ·Kidney disorders / disease·Persons with Asthma·Persons with COPD·Persons on, or having been on Steroid therapy·Stroke victims·Heart attack victimsNote*Persons whom are athletic may also be at higher risk as they are active and may breath Fine Particulates deeper into their lungs during time of physical exertion.  Most mold spores range three to five microns in size, some species can be smaller. Mold Fine Particulates range from 2.5 microns, to 2,500 nanometers or less in size. These particulates are so small many are the same size as gas molecules, which means they may be inhaled and absorbed directly into the human body and blood stream, by passing all of the body’s natural filter mechanisms.   Symptoms of Fine Particulate Exposure, or Invasive Fungal Infection:·Headaches·Blurred Vision·Nose Bleeds·Memory Loss·Low Grade Fever·Skin Rashes or Lesions·Chronic Sinusitis -Bronchitis Other Facts About Fine Particulate Pathogenic Fungi  Candidais the fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection in the United States.  Three quarters of women experience vaginitis in their lifetime, and 30% of vaginitis is caused byCandida. Vaginitis accounts for 10 million office visits per year. Invasivecandidiasis is the most common invasive fungal infectionin the United States. There is an increasing shift toward infections caused by non-albicans Candidaspecies with 40-60% of the species currently being reported as non-albicansspecies. Mortality/Morbidity Invasive candidiasis has a mortality rate of 40-50%, with an estimated cost of $40,000 per episode.  Neonates and children have better outcomes with approximately 20% mortality rate for candidemia. Risk factors for death or poor prognosis are age, failure to remove central lines, malnutrition, and non-albicansfungemia.Aspergillus Fine Particulate  There are more than 165 species of Aspergillus, of which over half have been documented to cause human disease. Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger are the most common invasive and noninvasive species. The most common pathogens are fromAspergillusandMucorspecies. Aspergillosis can cause noninvasive or invasive infections. Invasive infections are characterized by dark, thick, greasy material found in the sinuses. Invasive infections can cause tissue invasion and destruction of adjacent structures (eg, orbit, CNS). Noninvasive infections cause symptoms of sinusitis, and the sinus involved is opacified on radiographic studies. Routine cultures from the sinuses rarely demonstrate the fungus. However, the fungus is usually suspected upon reviewing the CT scan result and is detected on removal of the secretions from the sinus. The more serious infection commonly occurs in patients with diabetes or in individuals who are immunocompromised and is characterized by its invasiveness, tissue destruction, and rapid onset. Early detection and treatment are vital for these infections because of the high mortality rate. Noninvasive infections are chronic and are usually treated for extended periods as chronic sinusitis before the condition is recognized. Acute invasive fungal sinusitis results from a rapid spread of fungi through vascular invasion into the orbit and CNS. It is common in patients with diabetes and in patients who are immunocompromised and has been reported in immunocompetent individuals. Typically, patients with acute invasive sinusitis are severely ill with fever, cough, nasal discharge, headache, andmental status changes. They usually require hospitalization. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Journals of American Medicine, all agree that Mold Fine Particulate are dangerous to human health. “exposure to aerosolized ultrafine and fine particulates can result in translocation of these materials to the brain and elicit transient, irreversible, or progressive damage to the nervous system. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, nano-sized materials can aerosolize during manufacturing, handling or recycling, and thus inhalation exposure is of major occupational concern.” NIOSH 927ZBDH - Occupational exposures and potential neurological risks Epidemiologic studies have reported associations between short-term increases in particulate matter (PM) air pollution and increased daily mortality and morbidity from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Although these studies suggest that persons with preexisting disease are most susceptible to the effects of small increases in PM EPA R828112C099 Biological Mechanisms.We have conducted exposure studies designed to elucidate the biological mechanisms whereby Fine Particulate Matter can induce adverse health effects. Results from a series of human and animal studies showed that exposures were linked to changes in heart rate variability (HRV), arrhythmias, pulmonary inflammation and vascular dysfunction (Adamkiewicz, et al., 2004; Clancy, et al., 2002; Clarke, et al., 2000; Goodman, et al., 2004; Peters, et al., 2001). EPA Based on results from human and ani­mal studies, airborne nanoparticles can be inhaled and deposit in the respira­tory tract; and based on animal stud­ies, nanoparticles can enter the blood stream, and translocate to other organs. Studies in workers exposed to aerosols of some manufactured or incidental microscopic (fine) and nanoscale (ul­trafine) particles have reported adverse lung effects including lung function decrements and obstructive and fibrot­ic lung diseases.
