Fight Pests with PowerForm_® EcoTek_® Black Nitrile Gloves - Better for the Planet

Dirty and dangerous, an exterminating service not only eliminates existing pest problems but it can prevent future infestations via customized treatment plans that use a combination of methods such as baiting, trapping, sealing entry points, and applying dangerous chemicals such as insecticides or pesticides.

Because pest control activities often involve the handling of harmful chemicals and/or exposure to pests that can potentially spread disease, personal protective equipment (PPE) can be critical for a worker’s well-being.

One often overlooked but essential tool in the pest control arsenal are disposable nitrile gloves.

Performing as a snug-fitting tactile protective barrier, single-use nitrile gloves greatly reduce the risk of exposure to harmful substances and potential cross-contamination between different areas, ensuring a higher level of hygiene during pest control operations.

Unfortunately when the job is complete, these single-use gloves are typically disposed into landfill where it will require many centuries to decompose prompting experts to claim that the U.S. will run out of landfill capacity by the year 2036.  But there's good news ahead!

Exterminators and pest control technicians now have sustainable and affordable single-use glove protection options available for their professional pest removal service. A new ERA in sustainability shopping has arrived and it has ushered landfill-friendly, incinerator-friendly and skin-healthy FDA 510K approved single-use nitrile exam gloves that perform like conventional counterparts without busting budgets or sacrificing personal protection or comfort.
