Here at Gunter, we value both the well being of our customers and environmental responsibility. That’s why we’ve committed to a green initiative which includes converting our building and vehicles to greener options and offering environmentally friendly pest control. We feel that it’s our personal duty to reduce carbon emissions and find alternatives to harsh chemicals.

1) Solar Energy

Sunlight is a natural resource which can be converted into energy by using solar panels. We installed solar panels on our office building and garage to help reduce our carbon footprint. The U.S. places 2nd in annual carbon dioxide emissions at 17.9%, right behind China. By switching to solar energy, we help offset some of those emissions.

For a better idea of what that looks like, think about it this way: The average residential home offsets about 100,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide in 20 years – which is the equivalent of driving a car for 100,000 miles!

2) Switching to Electric Vehicle

The Gunter fleet is transitioning to Tesla electric vehicles! (cue “Electric Boogie” by Marcia Griffiths) Electric cars don’t release any tailpipe emissions which significantly improves air quality—making them a much greener option.

3) Environmentally Friendly Pest Treatments

When it comes to pest control, there isn’t necessarily a fully “green” option, but there are ways to reduce chemical usage. For termites, for example, you can use eco-friendly bait stations. We are an Authorized Operator of the Sentricon® System in which we place monitoring stations outside the home and use termite baits to eliminate them.

We also use heat treatments instead of chemical treatments for bed bugs. Here’s a quick overview of the benefits of using bed bug heat treatments:
Heat treatments are lethal to bugs, but safe for your home and belongings
Heat treatments eliminate bed bugs in all stages of life, including eggs & adults
Heat treatments penetrate the hard-to-reach areas chemicals usually can’t
And of course the best for last… Heat treatments make it possible for us to eliminate all bed bugs from your home in just one visit!

4) Going Paperless

We’ve also decided to go entirely paperless! All documents that we used to print on paper have now been converted to an electronic format. Going paperless can help prevent deforestation and reduce CO2 emissions. A tree can only produce, on average, 17 reams of paper, and takes about 100 years to grow. Then as a result of turning that tree into 17 reams of paper, 110 lbs of CO2 are released into the atmosphere.

Not only do they improve air quality, but they’re also a carbon sink which means that they absorb a majority of the carbon that’s released into the air. The average tree can absorb around a ton (2,000 lbs) of C02 in its lifetime. In other words, we need trees.
