DATELINE – Pest control, golf, and landscape professionals are innovators by nature, demonstrating ingenuity and creativity every day to keep the pest control industry running. In celebration of this work ethic – and the American spirit, AMGUARD Environmental Technologies has launched its American Innovators recognition program. 

Throughout 2022, AMGUARD will invite pest control, golf and landscape professionals to nominate a peer by visiting amvac.com/american-innovators. Nominators can explain in 300 words or fewer and with up to two photos how their nominee demonstrates innovation in the industry in one of two categories: product use and application technique or marketing and business management.

"The American Innovators program is our way of recognizing industry professionals who push for excellence in all that they do," says Shayne M. Wetherall, CEO, AMGUARD Environmental Technologies. "When we celebrate each other's progress – our daily successes – we collectively inspire new breakthroughs. As a company that prides itself on offering innovative  American-made technologies, it's an honor to recognize those who embody the American spirit."

Nominations are now open, and industry professionals can nominate a peer through June 30, 2022. A selection committee comprised of industry leaders, influencers and peers will review nominations and select winners. The first two American Innovators winners will be announced at PestWorld 2022 in Boston, Mass. Each winner will be awarded their own symbol of American ingenuity and craftmanship – an extra-large, Legacy Series wooden American "Flag of Valor," handcrafted by American veterans.

AMGUARD not only celebrates American innovation, it also recognizes American service. The company sponsors Project EverGreen's GreenCare for Troops program, which mobilizes complimentary pest, lawn and landscape services for military families through its network of volunteers. AMGUARD presented a $20,000 check to the organization in February to kick off its program.

Cindy Code, executive director, Project EverGreen, says the time is right for the collaboration – and the American Innovators recognition.

"Military families face many challenges when a loved one is deployed, and more than ever, they appreciate having a pest-free home and healthy green spaces where they can relax, reflect and let their children play," she says. "Pest control industry professionals are creative and enthusiastic, so it's no surprise to see them stepping up with great energy to support these families. They're often humble by nature, but it's time to shine a spotlight on them and thank them for their hard work and willingness to give back."

AMGUARD will share American Innovators updates throughout the year on its web site and at other live industry events.

Perennial broadleaf weeds are transporting food from their foliage to roots to prepare for winter, according to ISU Extension.

Effective broadleaf herbicides in Iowa include: 2,4-D MCPP Dicamba Triclopyr The most effective broadleaf herbicide products usually contain a mixture of two or three herbicides.

B.C.’s rodenticide ban could be having unintended consequences: Pest control industry - Global News

British Columbia's new restrictions on the use of certain rodent poisons may be having an unintended side effect, amid reports of growing rat and mouse populations. As of Jan. 31, B.C. permanently banned the sale and use of a class of poisons known as second-generation anti-coagulants, with an exception for certain sectors deemed "essential services," like food production or health-care facilities. The move is an extension of an 18-month ban first implemented in 2021, which followed advocacy by conservationists who said the rodenticides were killing owls, along with some other raptors and predators that eat rats and mice. 4:58 Looking at long-term and cooperative ways to manage the rat population "We were noticing a lot of animals were being secondarily poisoned by rodenticide
