What QualityPro Means...

You hear QualityPro in our advertisements, on our trucks and on our brochures.
Many ask the questions, what is QualityPro?

QualityPro is the mark of excellence in pest management designated through the The National Pest Management Association. This program is designed to separate QualityPro companies from the competition and increase the overall professionalism of the industry. QualityPro members inform consumers about QualityPro, through the marketing tools provided are encouraged to hire smartly, train correctly, and upgrade professionalism through the training and education of service technicians and sales personnel.

GreenPro is a way for your company to stand out as an environmentally-responsible business. To meeting the standards of this program, Craig Thomas Pest Control employs a comprehensive, environmentally friendly approach when treating a property. Investigate the source of the problem – and eliminate it – before applying pesticides. Going green has never been so important. As a GreenPro company, we show our commitment to your customers and the environment.

Children spend countless hours in school buildings and on surrounding fields and playgrounds. Thus, the management of pests in such a sensitive environment demands special care.

Each QualityPro Schools company is required to provide reduced-risk IPM services in schools.

World Mosquito Day - August 20th

Last August, Craig Thomas Pest Control donated $2,500.00 to Nothing but Nets. Nothing but Nets is a grass roots organization to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. This entire process of purchasing and distributing bed nets to children under the age of five, as well as providing education and follow-up surveying on their use, is accomplished at the cost of just $10 per bed net. Although $10 for a bed net may not sound like much, the cost is out of reach for most people at risk of malaria in Africa, where many people survive on less than $1 a day. Malaria is a leading cause of death of children in Africa, killing nearly one million children each year. Every day 3,000 children die from the disease. Currently, nets have been donated to Mali, Nigeria, Chad, Congo, Zimbabwe and Kenya. New areas of Africa are in the process of begin reached and having nets distributed. For more information, visit www.nothingbutnets.net.

Recently, Craig Thomas Pest Control joined forces with Save Mothers, Safe Babies and Vassar College’s, Vassar Uganda Project. These programs are working together to protect motherhood and childhood as sacred times of growth and development. Jacqueline Rotaracts who is leading Vassar Uganda Project, Safe Mothers, Safe Babies partners with women, families, and professionals in Eastern Uganda to reduce maternal and neonatal death through collaborative, sustainable and demand driven means. Joining forces to maximize these efforts was an easy choice for our company.

Craig Thomas Pest Control values our business relationship with Vassar College and believes Vassar's Uganda Project is perfect aligned with our "Nothing but Nets Campaign." Craig Thomas Pest Control decided to donate mosquito nets because we are not in the spray business or just to take care of people’s pests. "Being a responsible business owner is giving back to the community. I can't think of a better way how donating $10.00 can directly save a life." Protecting people’s health and educating them on further ways to reduce there risk against the many threats associated with pests is what we do and the first step in pest management. By removing standing water or old tires from your property can prevent mosquitoes from congregating around your property. Therefore, donating nets is a perfect fit for my company. It helps protect people against malaria, while educating them on the many risks associated from the mosquito. This project is the true definition of IPM, said Craig Thomas."
