Justin Quiroz - Hearts Pest Management Technician

Justin Quiroz – Hearts Pest Management


It’s hard to believe that it’s been two and a half years since I rushed into Gerry’s office for an interview.

Truth be told, at the time I didn’t quite know what to expect. I had only ever worked for large companies, never a locally owned business. All kinds of little variables were popping up in my head…

Same Quality Pest Control

It’s been a little over a year since I first started here at Hearts. It’s remarkable how quickly time has flown. It’s also remarkable how much has changed.

This morning I was browsing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) educational websites. The University of Massacheussets IPM Extension provided a definition of IPM that is consistent within the industry. What I found somewhat unique about the site was that it identified an IPM point system that was applied to numerous crops, such as this scorecard of Apple IPM guidelines. I really don’t know much about how to score IPM practice for apples, but it is as good a scoring system as any.

What I have noticed as a weakness in IPM is the lack of focus on customers and workers. Read more
