It is both an honor and a privilege to be called an A.C.E. It was long hours of
work, but it is the best way I know to show my commitment to my
Customers, the Pest Control Industry, and to myself. At present I am one of
a couple Hundred other ACE’s in the Nation. And that is a very select group
of professionals.
And now Keith's Pest is Green Pro Certified.
In today's increasingly complex and highly-specialized economy, credentials
are everything. The Entomological Society of America, long the industry
leader in certification through its Board Certified Entomologist (BCE)
program, is pleased to announce a new certification option geared
specifically toward the pest management industry. Launched in May of 2004,
the ACE program is rapidly becoming the industry-standard for
professionalism and training.
Associate Certified Entomologists (ACEs) are those who have passed at
least one of the most rigorous examination to test their knowledge. They
generally specialize in pest control. ACEs also agree to ascribe to a code of
ethical behavior, and – as part of their certification renewal process – must
annually provide a copy of their current pesticide applicator's license.
Insects outnumber humans more than 1.6 billion to one. They are one of the
most plentiful and successful life forms on the planet and they are the
cornerstone of our ability to survive on earth. Consider the number of crops
that require insect interaction for pollination, the life forms that use them as
a food source, the knowledge we have gained from studying their DNA, and
so on.
Insects are the root of all life on earth.
Those who study insects are called entomologists. Within the field there are
many ways that a person can specialize their training. Some study insects’
impact on crop yields, some study the medical impact they have on humans
and other animals, and still others focus on ways to limit the damaging
influence that insects can have on the population.
