McCloud LEED & Green Compliant Services

Eco-Friendly Pest Management Solutions

Pests in commercial environments can be more than a nuisance; they can be threatening to your employees’ and customers’ health, and result in costly damage to your property. Supported by a 100-year-old company, McCloud’s team of commercial Service Specialists are experts trained to resolve the toughest pest management challenges. We apply that experience to our LEED and Green Compliant Services to achieve pest free environments for companies seeking LEED certification or for those who believe in growing their business with minimal impact on the environment.

McCloud’s Green Protection Plan

At McCloud Services, our strategy is to implement environmental management practices that enhance both ecology and efficiency. We take our cues from nature not only in the design of our pest management programs, but also in our corporate philosophy. As a result, we approach solving pest management issues within the context of the natural ecology by exploring and implementing innovative alternatives to traditional pesticides.

McCloud’s Green Protection Plan for LEED Certified Buildings

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is a third party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of green buildings. Our Green Protection Plan for LEED Certified Buildings relies on prevention as the primary means of dealing with pests. Non-chemical control tools fit well with pest prevention strategies and lend themselves perfectly to LEED certified facilities.

Green Pest Prevention

Our Green Pest Prevention Program includes:

Inspection
Sanitation
Mechanical control
Exclusion
Cultural control
Biological control
The use of least-toxic materials only when required and when other alternatives have been explored
Ongoing evaluation

McCloud Services will conduct a site survey to determine your company’s pest pressures and conditions that promote pest activity and develop a plan focused on the reduction of pest survival requirements, including food, water, and shelter. Our assessment of your facility allows us to implement non-chemical strategies to effectively prevent and mitigate pest activity.

McCloud Services Supports Businesses Earning LEED Credits

The service approach in McCloud’s Green Protection Plan supports the following LEED credit categories:

Indoor Environmental Quality. EQ Credit 3.9: Green Cleaning: Indoor Pest Management.
Sustainable Sites. SS Credit 3: Integrated Pest Management, Erosion Control, and Landscape Management Plan (This category refers to outdoor integrated pest management that must be combined with indoor pest management programs. Since McCloud’s structural pest services protect the immediate exterior of the building, this program has been designed to comply with SS Credit 3.)

Let McCloud Services Help Your Business Achieve LEED Certification

Since 1904, McCloud Services has delivered pest prevention solutions aimed at providing our clients with long-term protection against risk. Our acceptance as a QualityPro member, earned in part due to our dedication to practicing environmentally responsible pest control, solidifies this commitment. While typical IPM programs are reactive in nature, McCloud’s Green Protection Plan is a proactive strategy that modifies the factors allowing pests to exist in commercial environments.
