Green Pest Management - Certification and Accreditations

Certification and Accreditations

There are services available to certify or offer accreditation to businesses that provide green pest management services, to sites that use green pest management or to the manufacturers of materials used to control pests. The most widely used product list for materials acceptable to be used on operations that are certified organic under the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) National Organic Program(NOP) is the aforementioned Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). Regional organic farming associations are resources for accredited providers. An example would be the Northeast Organic Farming Association's Certified Organic Landcare or Organic Dairy Program. Other examples include certification or registration through industry associations or private certification or accreditation service providers. For structural pest control this would include industry examples such as the National Pest Management Association's (NPMA) GreenPro Accreditation or private certification resources such as GreenShield Certification.
