Long Island Based National Facility Service Firms Announce Fourth Annual ‘Food Drive’ Now A ‘Thankful Event’

MEDFORD, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Professional Retail Services (PRS), Retail Security Services (RSS), and Retail Mechanical Services (RMS) are affiliated national facility service companies based in Long Island. The three entities have teamed up for the fourth year in a row to honor their tradition of giving back to the community.

This year, in place of a traditional food drive where employees, friends, and family donate food items; the three affiliated companies decided to fund the event's donations and rename the "Food Drive" to a "Thankful Event."

The food items packaged as meal kits will feed 600 Suffolk residents this holiday season. The kits will be donated and delivered to the William Floyd School District and HELP Suffolk on November 23rd for disbursement. Each meal kit includes two boxes of stuffing, two boxes of mashed potatoes, two desserts, four cans of vegetables, one can of cranberry sauce, two boxes of corn muffins, two packets of gravy, and one 8 - 12 lb. frozen turkey.

Kathleen Larmour, president and founder of all three companies, had this to say regarding the beloved event:

"We have many reasons to be thankful, and what better way to celebrate that than to rename our event while keeping our yearly tradition of helping those in need.

"Many have endured financial hardship due to the pandemic, which is why we decided that funding this event and not having friends and family donate was appropriate."

Larmour added, "This year we are extremely thankful for our loyal employees, customers, and service partners. This would not have been possible without them."

Turner Sanitation Finds New Success Spurred on by COVID Realities

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Darin Gross of Turner Sanitation is an entrepreneur who has spent his career finding the right companies to invest in at the right time. But when he bought a sanitation company at the beginning of 2020, he had no idea how the COVID pandemic would put him on a fast track to re-tool a business he was just beginning to learn.

Turner Sanitation is a 50-year-old family-based company based in Lake Orion, Michigan, specializing in septic tank cleaning and porta potties, and was ready to turn over operations to an entrepreneur like Gross, who saw potential beyond what Turner had successfully built over its half-century of operations. But Gross had no idea that a global pandemic was going to immediately change the way he, and the company, did business.

"Coming out of the transportation industry, I literally knew nothing about the sanitation business other than what the Turner family told me and provided me for information," said Gross. "All of a sudden we had to totally re-forecast all of our sales and equipment projections. It's been a challenge." For Gross and Turner, that challenge has turned into a 30-40% increase in revenue.

While many companies during COVID have been forced to shut down and/or lay off employees, Turner was forced to hire more drivers to serve the increasing and immediate needs of homeowners requiring their septic systems pumped because of the amount of family members forced to quarantine at homes across the area. That need replaced the sudden drop in portable toilet rentals with concerts, golf tournaments and local events being canceled.

Once Turner was able to increase its sewer pumping capabilities, seemingly half of the area decided to jump in an RV and hit local and state parks.

"It's been amazing how many RVs suddenly hit the road and headed for campsites. We've suddenly become the go-to for those parks to meet the needs of campers expecting clean, updated and additional bathroom facilities," said Gross. "County parks and their extensive DEQ regulations for wastewater, never mind increased cleaning caused by COVID, has made us very busy in an area I couldn't have ever expected, even as late as March of this year."

As for the future, Turner continues to beef up its supply of portable washing stations for businesses, executive toilets and a focus on making sure cleanliness is the number one goal for their portable rentals. And while COVID has certainly given Gross a crash course in running a sanitation company, he also feels that the experience has made Turner more nimble and ready to tackle the future.

"We're really looking forward to next year, but honestly, I can't wait to flush 2020." Fortunately for Gross and Turner Sanitation, that 'flush' has brought dividends to the company never before seen in its history.

Inspection Tool Demand Increases Sales of ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 Mechanical Articulating Video Borescope

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As video borescopes are increasingly used as a visual inspection tool, ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 video borescope is reputably one of the most desired tools to own. From family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 corporations, each day thousands of users rely on their VJ-3 to improve maintenance, inspection and repair processes. During August business, two of ViewTech's newest clients acquired include a corrosion management company and an equine veterinary practice.

A fire sprinkler corrosion testing, control and treatment company, located on the East Coast, reached out to ViewTech Borescopes when searching for a new remote visual inspection tool to utilize inside one of the world's most prestigious and best-known hotels. With historic and irreplaceable murals lining many of the ceilings, it was critical the video borescope they purchase be as invaluable to their inspection team.

As the experts in the prevention of corrosion, water treatment programs and management of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC), they are now completing inspections with their VJ-3 Dual Camera 6.0mm x 8.0m. With the ability to view not only straight ahead, but also at 90 degrees, inspection times have decreased, and clearer images and videos are being documented.

While a ViewTech Borescopes VJ-3 Poly Coated video borescope was being used to perform an Equine Dynamic Respiratory Endoscopy (DRE examination), it caught the attention of a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). After completing their veterinary internship in Ocala, Florida, the "horse capital of the world", and beginning to practice equine medicine at a Mid-Atlantic equine clinic, they made a suggestion to staff to add the VJ-3 Poly specifically for DRE exams. With ViewTech Borescopes no-cost, on-site demo program, their equine practice was able to trial the VJ-3 6.0mm x 1.5m with a polyethylene coated insertion tube. By being able to capture photos and videos while inside the animal's airway, along with the ease of disinfecting the insertion tube between uses, they have added a VJ-3 Poly video borescope as the endoscopy tool for their equine veterinary practice.

In addition to equine medicine and DRE exams, the VJ-3 Poly is an ideal inspection tool for a variety of applications, including high-purity piping, fragile or high-tolerance castings, polished components, as well as a variety of clean-room inspection applications.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a nondestructive testing (NDT) instrument used for the remote visual inspection (RVI) of machinery, equipment and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

Move For Hunger and Chadwell Supply Announce Collaborative Effort to Fight Hunger Nationwide

TAMPA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chadwell Supply, a trusted MRO source of maintenance supplies for multi-family properties and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, have announced a new partnership that will help provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the United States. This collaboration will enable Chadwell Supply to support Move For Hunger's food rescue programs and encourage the clients, associations, and property management companies they work with to integrate the Move For Hunger model into their moving out process for residents.

People throw away a lot of things when they move, including perfectly good food. Move For Hunger's network of more than 1,000 moving companies, more than 1,500 multi-family apartment communities, and many of the world's leading relocation management companies, volunteer to collect this unopened, non-perishable food and deliver it to their local food banks. To date, Move For Hunger's network of relocation professionals and multi-family properties has collected and delivered nearly 18 million pounds of food - providing 15 million meals - to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada.

"Partnering with Chadwell Supply both complements and advances our mission, so this collaboration was a natural fit," explains Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "By combining the strength of our network of multi-family apartment communities and relocation companies with Chadwell Supply's network and partners within the multi-family industry, we have the ability to get a large amount of food to those who need it most."

"Chadwell Supply is excited to partner with Move For Hunger and share in both their mission and their unique service to our multi-family customers," said Pete Wheeler, Chadwell Supply's Vice President of Marketing. "This is a perfect combination of our company culture meshing with the relationships we have with our customers. We will be able to intercept food that would otherwise be tossed out and help reduce food waste while fighting hunger in our communities."

More than 37 million Americans were food insecure before the COVID-19 pandemic and it is estimated that the number could increase by 17 million this year, totaling 54 million. "As a result of the pandemic, we are facing, potentially, the greatest hunger crisis of our lifetime," continues Lowy. "Chadwell Supply understands the need is more critical than ever and is committed to helping Move For Hunger provide meals to those struggling to put food on the table."

Through the support of partners like Chadwell Supply, Move For Hunger can continue to feed more and empower more to fight for the families, children, seniors, and vulnerable communities who lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food.

Move For Hunger is a national non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger. We have mobilized the leaders of moving, relocation, and multi-family industries to provide their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Members of Move For Hunger also organize community food drives, participate in awareness campaigns, and create employee engagement programs.

Chadwell Supply began with three brothers determined to make good on a promise - to always value their profession, community and most of all, each other. Keeping time-honored traditions alive, the second generation now operates Chadwell Supply. The "Chadwell Family" has extended to include hundreds of employees working hard to lead the MRO industry, serve customers, and supply multi-family housing facilities from warehouses located in fourteen branches across country (and growing!).

As Campgrounds Begin to Open in Michigan Turner is Providing Post-COVID Peace of Mind

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the State of Michigan begins to allow the opening of its city, county, state and private parks and camping facilities, the biggest question people are asking post-COVID is "how safe are the bathroom facilities at these parks and campgrounds?" While Turner Sanitation can't answer that question for all re-opening parks and campgrounds, it CAN answer that question for those facilities using Turner portable facilities and sanitation services. That answer is a resounding "very safe and very clean!"

Most RV parks, campgrounds and government-sponsored parks have the need for outdoor facilities for RV and boat owners, as well as hikers and anyone using a facility for one day or for weeks. It's the only option available for people who use them, outside of RV holding tanks. But with everyone concerned about the cleanliness of outdoor bathroom facilities, especially now in the midst of our COVID crisis, Turner Sanitation is going the extra mile for its customers.

"We have always cleaned portable facilities more than has been previously required, but we've doubled down on our efforts to make sure we provide the very cleanest options for our clients," said Turner Sanitation owner Darin Gross. "We are extremely familiar with the state laws on bathroom cleanliness, but we will be making more frequent visits to clean and sanitize facilities to put our clients and the public at ease."

Many parks and RV parks are re-opening on a staggered basis because of the work that's needed to bring its facilities up to a post-COVID level. Cleaner bathrooms will also encourage people to come back to the parks and campgrounds, with some potential visitors concerned about the continued spreading of COVID. But for weeks now, Turner Sanitation has been sanitizing park and RV facilities enabling them to open quicker and give visitors peace of mind. "Our services have really put RV Park owners and those running government parks more at ease," said Gross. "If the openings aren't done properly and not meeting state guidelines, they can be heavily fined. That's where we come in."

Turner has been providing portable bathroom facilities in Michigan and has been called upon to clean RV park and campground facilities for more than 40 years.

Washing Stations, Septic Services a Priority for Homes and Businesses Entering Michigan’s New Normal

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As Michigan envisions a day soon when coming out of the COVID-19 crisis means seeking normal in a climate that is anything but, there will be a number of services and businesses in very high demand. But the crisis has thrust to the forefront some companies, like Turner Sanitation, whose role in our communities have been enhanced by the needs we'll have in Michigan's new normal.

"Sanitation is going to be a very big thing coming out of this. I think this state is going to be asking not only how are we going to stay clean but will allow us to come up with new protocols," said Turner Sanitation owner and entrepreneur Darin Gross, who purchased the family-owned company in January. "What we offer now is EPA environmentally-and solutions on a very high level."

Two of the demands coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic has already meant Turner Sanitation is trying to fast track new hand washing stations, because the entirety of Turner's inventory has been rented by Amazon in Shelby Township.

Another of Turner's offerings, septic services, are already seeing a large increase in home visits after months of families being home together during the state's stay-at-home order. The company has made numerous emergency service visits to fix potentially limit-pushing home septic tanks, which were not built for the amount of use they've seen.

The company's best-known offering, portable restrooms, is also expected to see increased demand because of Turner Sanitation's dedication to their cleanliness.

"I heard a lot of companies don't clean enough. That's certainly not our issue," said Gross. "I can definitely see, however, an increase in how many times per week we will be replenishing hand washing liquid and cleaning the facilities, probably two or three times more than we have in the past." As for reluctance by some to use portable facilities post-COVID-19, Gross says when it comes to locations Turner places its restrooms, people don't really have a choice such at places like outdoor events, festivals and recreational parks.

"We're a company with a great reputation and have employees who have been here for more than 20 years," said Gross. "I'm very proud to have the quality of people here at Turner and am confident we will continue to provide the high-quality services needed by our community."

The methods include washing the hands thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer, keeping the hands and fingers away from the face, getting plenty rest, and staying away from infected people.

Capital Industries Shares the Top Reasons to Coat Industrial Floors

MATTITUCK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, a leading non-slip floor coating manufacturer, works with industrial companies on selecting the right floor coating. After years of impact and daily use, floor coatings can wear down. Without the protective coating, industrial floors are easily damaged by foot and vehicle traffic.

Deteriorating floors can lead to workplace accidents and reduce productivity. By coating or recoating industrial floors, there are many advantages available with epoxy.

1. Safety

Preserve the safety of industrial locations by adding a non-slip epoxy floor coating. KwikBond's Retrax is unique because it is not only non-slip, but also provides traction when oil, grease, water, and ice spills on it. It is also USDA approved for meat and poultry plants.

2. Durable

Industrial warehouses see a lot of vehicle traffic from forklifts from day in and day out. Having a tough coating is essential to last against the frequent use. KwikBond's Repox FC is an advanced formula coating system that provides an extended life for heavy traffic applications.

3. Strong Adhesive

Having an excellent bond to concrete is important. With Repox-HB, it bonds to not only concrete, but also block, steel, wood and almost any other sound surface. This industrial floor coating is best used in areas where floors need to be washed.

KwikBond's Retrax bonds to concrete and almost any other surface, including metal, wood, terrazzo, tile, and slate. It has a high bonding action that can also provide durability over time.

Uses for Floor Coating

Using epoxy provides a high strength, durable, and stable coating for industrial floors.

Uses include:
* Steps
* Ramps
* Exits
* Catwalks
* Fire stairs
* Processing areas
* Entranceways
* Equipment
* Loading docks
* Marine docks

Certified Test-Only Illinois Mold Inspector Provides Unbiased Property Mold Analysis

NAPERVILLE, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Just the thought of a mold problem can set most people into a panic. Know Mold(tm), a BBB-accredited mold spore analyst, works to alleviate that anxiety. Its lab, Midwest Aerobiology Labs, is a test-only facility and has nothing to gain by finding mold on a property. It only works to test and provide practical and easy solutions, if needed.

"We know that getting accurate mold test results is one of the keys to health and safety and our test results are accurate and thorough," Darryl Morris, president, Know Mold, says.

Comprehensive data collection and mold spore analysis leads to a final report that helps clients and the company to work together to find the best possible solution. If mold is located, Know Mold provides useful suggestions for how to get rid of the mold at a minimal cost. It not only saves money, but provides peace of mind too because many times, mold is not the issue. There could be other underlying issues in play.

"Many other mold testing companies offer mold remediation services," Morris says. "We don't. We have absolutely nothing to gain by finding mold. We only want to help clients determine if there's a problem or not. Our assessments are honest and unbiased. We don't sell mold remediation and we don't receive any commission from mold removal contractors."

Know Mold's services are also very personalized. Morris visits each home or business and works directly with the client so he personally gets to know the people and the property. This personalized relationship often helps to uncover the root of the problem and mold remediation is not always the answer.

"We really have our clients' best interest at heart," Morris says. "We've created a business with no conflict of interest -just the real facts."

BOSTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- HomeWiz, an HVAC and electrical service company based in Belmont, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce that the company is now licensed in New Hampshire and Maine, and will begin to serve residential customers in the Greater New Hampshire and Southern Maine Seacoast area.

More recently, the company has begun to focus on home automation, including smart thermostat and smart lighting installations and repair. Their team of licensed technicians brings professionalism, experience and high-quality customer care to every home that it services. HomeWiz has successfully served the Greater Boston area for over 30 years, and will continue to do so.

Preventative Maintenance: Save Up to 100 Times the Cost of Future Leaky Balcony Repairs and Leaky Shower Repairs

SYDNEY, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- While preventative maintenance to address problems such as potential leaky balcony repairs or leaky shower repair might not top everyone's to-do list, there are several reasons why it should. Remedial Membranes highlights a case study published by HIA Insurance of a simple leaky shower that could have been repaired for $149, ended up costing $240,000AUD because of the massive impact water damage can have on building materials over time.

Remedial Membranes reports that preventative maintenance before will cost a fraction compared to repair after. In fact, every dollar spent on maintenance will cost up to 100 times that amount in future repairs.

A leaking shower repair or leaking balcony repair can be quickly rectified with an over-the-tiles solution such as Remedial Membranes' Clear Waterproofing Membrane. And while it's simple enough for a DIY-project, there are qualified installation teams too.

Remedial Membranes recommends people follow these top suggestions for waterproofing maintenance:
1. Leaky shower. If a shower is leaking, act fast and smart as the damage (and the cost) spreads quickly. Because of frequent use, a shower leak will quickly access foundations and cause expensive damage. A case study by HIA Insurance Services illustrates that a Shower Tray Kit that costs approximately $149 would have fixed a shower that was leaking for five years and ended up costing the homeowner $240,000 - almost equal to the cost of the original house build.
2. Leaky balcony. When there's mold on plasterboard, visible swollen timber or drips coming through light fittings, it's time to act. Clear Waterproofing Membrane over the top of existing tiles will save 70 percent of the cost of having to call in a builder to rip-up and re-tile a leaky balcony.

In addition to the above tips, Remedial Membranes also advises that when it comes to replacing anything where water and electricity meet, it's not just the astronomical cost of repairs, but the danger of electrocution.

Jasmin Aleknavicius, a Remedial Membranes representative, says that, "Maintenance jobs often fall down the list when it comes to must-dos around the home. However, when you multiply the price of current maintenance by up to 100 to get a cost for future repairs, they should go straight back to the top."

So, when it comes to a leaky shower repair or leaky balcony repair, act now; save later.

About Remedial Membranes:

Founded by experienced tilers and waterproofers, its experts developed a world-class clear and flexible waterproofing membrane for internal and external use. Clear Waterproofing Membrane is similar to waterproofing below except its installed on top and can be used on existing surfaces so there's no need for rip outs, expensive renovations or weeks of inconvenience. It's a flexible membrane waterproofing system. Just prepare and clean the area, allow to dry, apply the membrane and it's done.

Any project installed by Remedial Membranes' accredited installers comes with the longest warranty in the industry to ensure properties are protected from future effects of water damage for years to come.

Capital Industries Shares Tips to Know When to Repair Industrial Concrete Flooring

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, Inc. shares tips for industrial, commercial businesses to know when to repair concrete flooring. Concrete floors and related structures are the basic elements of any building, which is why they need to be checked regularly and properly maintained. The absence of preventive maintenance can lead to expensive repairs, accidents and even lawsuits.

For over 30 years, Capital Industries has provided professional maintenance personnel and resourceful homeowners with the products they need to maintain and repair concrete floors.

Recognizing Damaged Concrete

Damage to concrete can result from the weather or from regular wear and tear. It can also result from the foundation settling, heavy equipment, and regular traffic from forklifts or other vehicles. Additionally, concrete used in commercial or industrial areas can suffer from the effects of heavy or vibrating machinery.

Such conditions can cause a deterioration in the surface of the concrete and floor joints. Since concrete is porous, water can penetrate the surface, leading to corrosion or spalling in the material itself and possibly to the development of rust in the underlying reinforcement bars.

Surface cracks can eventually create a hazard to machinery or to the workers themselves. Furthermore, concrete deficiencies can cause damage beyond cracks in the flooring, perhaps even compromising the foundation of the entire structure.

These are some obvious indications of deficient concrete:
* Surface damage
* Visible cracking, chipping or corrosion
* Floors or walls that appear uneven
* Jammed doors or windows

Finding Solutions to Concrete Damage

It is of vital importance that damaged concrete is repaired as soon as possible. Fortunately, epoxy and other concrete repair products on the market can be used to repair cracks and other deficiencies. Floor coatings are also available to create concrete surfaces that are shiny or not slippery.

Proactive strategies can be used to prevent commercial concrete corrosion. The products available from Capital Industries can be used to repair commercial concrete areas, driveways, patios, ceilings, walls, coolers and freezers.

Capital Industries Presents a Guide to Using an Easy One-Step Floor Sealer for Commercial Flooring

CUTCHOGUE, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, Inc. are commercial flooring repair and sealer experts. Using a concrete sealing product on flooring enhances the safety of the warehouse or other commercial space for staff and enhances the durability of the flooring. Commercial flooring typically has foot and vehicle traffic from forklifts. This traffic often wears down the concrete. By using a sealer, floor chipping and other forms of damage are reduced.

Industrial facilities can choose a concrete sealer to not only enhance the safety of the floors, but also to ensure optimal performance. REPORE is a product that Capital Industries sells and recommends for many benefits to industrial flooring, including that it lasts for years to come.

REPORE is a high-quality concrete sealer that is used by different industries and Fortune 500 companies. It is a commercial grade single use component moisture cured urethane. Here's some of the advantages and benefits of using a commercial grade concrete sealer:

1. Strong Resistance to Impact

In commercial warehouses and other areas, heavy equipment is often used during normal, day-to-day business operations. Using REPORE concrete sealer reduces the impact made by vehicles, forklifts, and pallet jacks. The sealer allows the flooring to be used at its peak performance for a number of years.

2. Resistance to Abrasion

Since concrete flooring is exposed to abrasions, the continual foot and vehicle traffic will chip away at the surface. The flooring is often damaged easily from heavy equipment use. When the floor is maintained properly using a concrete sealer and regular upkeep, it will resist abrasions.

3. Resistance to Marring

Marring happens when the flooring is impaired or disfigured and scarred. It can often happen from daily heavy traffic use and from chemicals. Using REPORE ensures peak performance and aesthetic appeal of flooring to resist marring for many years. The high gloss finish will retain the floor's like-new quality.

4. Easy to Maintain

Another benefit of using a concrete sealer is that it makes the flooring easier to maintain. REPORE, for example, offers dust proof performance that few other sealers on the market provide. Maintenance becomes easier as there is less cleaning to do with the flooring, which would improve staff's productivity levels.

REPORE produces a hard, durable, chemical and abrasion resistant floor sealer with a thick, protective film. It has good flexibility and can be used as a concrete sealer, concrete floor finish, Terrazzo sealer, and wood floor finish.

To see all of the specs and learn more about the full range of benefits offered by REPORE, a concrete sealer, or other concrete floor and crack repair products, speak with the trusted concrete floor repair experts at Capital Industries, Inc. at 631-298-6300 or visit their website at http://www.kwikbond.com/.

Bed Bug Finders Says Proactive Bed Bug Detection is Key

STRATFORD, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bed bugs can be a devastating experience for families and homeowners. For landlords, property owners and managers, not being proactive enough when it comes to tackling bed bugs in their properties can result in dire financial and emotional distress. That's why Bed Bug Finders LLC says being proactive is the best thing to do.

Mike Morin, co-owner of Bed Bug Finders, LLC, advises that you need to face problems head on. For example, if landlords get complaints, they need to address the issue right away.

"In the long run, failure to do so can complicate things in many ways including lawsuits and breach of contract," he says. "And, as a landlord, don't wait for a reported case of bed bugs before doing something about it."

Here's a point in case. This past April, a California family won a $1.6 million settlement after their son was "marked for life" by bed bugs.

According to the New York Daily News, Lilliana Martinez, the boy's mother, stated that the infestation - which left her son permanently scarred - started back in 2012, after the family had been living in their home for two years. Martinez said she reported the bed bug issue to her management company, which instructed her to throw their furniture away, including the baby's crib.

It was reported that the family sued the property owner for breach of warranty of habitability, negligence, breach of contract, emotional distress as well as other charges.

"We can learn an important lesson from this case," Morin says.

Being proactive can help landlords and property owners in many ways that include:
* Saving money: The cost of treating a property already infested is quite high. However, neglecting or not addressing the issue will only make matters worse, especially if a tenant takes a case to court. If the person wins and is awarded compensation and possible punitive damages, costs can be overwhelming.
* Avoiding unnecessary litigation and court summons: When curbing the spread of bed bugs, the possibility of litigation drops considerably. Cases of negligence and carelessness can be avoided.
* Safety: The health of occupants is paramount. Work to provide a conducive and pest-free environment.

So, how can property owners be proactive enough to avert or prevent a bed bug infested property? Here are four tips:
* Communicate: Make it a point of duty to talk to residents about how to prevent bed bugs from entering the building.
* Create awareness: Awareness in the form of sensitization, posters and handbills given to occupants makes them more aware of the dangers of bed bugs and how they can help in prevention, and if necessary, perform preparation before the eradication process.
* Provide encouragement: Residents should be encouraged to come forward and immediately report any problems with bed bugs, or suspected infestations. When they do, handle the situation quickly and have information on how to identify bed bugs readily available to your residents.
* Contact a bed bug verification company: As the owner of a house, apartment or building, it's vital to employ the verification services of a professional bed bug detection and inspection company to carry out routine checks. If bed bugs are detected, the verification company can help resolve the problem by referring a specialist they know to remove the infestation for good. Make sure to contact a certified bed bug detection company with the required license and certificate. They must have a proven track record with positive reviews.

Residents and property owners need to work together. For instance, residents can help maintain a bed bug free environment by immediately reporting any infestation; and avoid the purchase of used furniture, beddings or upholstered items, or at least not bringing them into the home until an expert can scrutinize them for signs of bed bugs.

During travel, it's also important to avoid picking up bed bugs from hotels or hostels. Some of these bed bugs can picked up on the way and transferred to the house.

Covering mattresses and box springs with a bed bug approved mattress and box spring encasements can also help. These items can prevent pests from getting into them. And, carrying out periodic checks on bedding and other places in the home can help.

Finally, make sure to regularly clean and launder clothes and other linens, organize the room, vacuum often and remove clutter.

City of Vandalia expects to save $12,000 annually by upgrading lighting in partnership with Energy Optimizers, USA

TIPP CITY, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- The City of Vandalia is taking steps to improve energy efficiency-and reduce its utility bills by an anticipated $12,000 a year-by upgrading its lighting systems in partnership with Energy Optimizers, USA.

Starting in June, Energy Optimizers, USA, will retrofit interior and exterior lighting systems at the city's municipal building and Fire Station #2 with LED systems. LED lighting uses an average of 60 percent less energy and lasts five times longer than the systems being replaced, offering an immediate return on investment that will continue paying off for years to come. The project is also expected to qualify for a rebate of nearly $11,000 from DP&L.

"In our community, we constantly strive to add value for our residents and taxpayers," said Steve Clark, Director of Parks and Recreation. "Our partnership with Energy Optimizers, USA, will enable us to save dollars, vastly improve the quality of lighting in these buildings and enhance security, all while conserving our natural resources."

The upgrade will be a welcome change for the firefighters who spend long hours in the station. That's because LED lighting offers a quality of light that is very close to natural sunlight, which creates better-lit and more comfortable environments.

"Vandalia is consistently on the leading edge when it comes to forward thinking and smart resource use," said Greg Smith, Energy Optimizers, USA, president. "By upgrading their lighting systems, the city's administration and council are investing taxpayer dollars in proven, cost-effective solutions that enhance their public facilities."

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Prestigious South Florida Mold Removal Co., Miami Mold Specialists, Acquires State of the Art Fogger Tech. Specifically Designed for Attic, Crawlspace, and Maritime Mold Remediation and Disinfecting.

Toxic mold in attics and crawlspaces is a major problem throughout the state of Florida. Taking into account the past hurricane season, crawlspaces among many other areas exposed to flooding would all be perfect places for mold to thrive. Attics are another prime area for mold to grow as these areas are constantly under extreme temperatures and consistent high levels of excess moisture and humidity as South Florida is in fact, classified as a tropical climate.

Miami Mold Specialists new state of the art vector foggers are specifically designed for getting in those hard to reach areas, such as in attics and crawlspaces. The innovative South Florida mold removal company also utilizes Airbiotics, an all-natural, all purpose, VOC free, biodegradable cleaner that utilizes natural probiotics to clean and disinfect areas on a microscopic level.

For more information about Miami Mold Specialists new mold removal technology, visit-
https://www.miamimoldspecialists.com/exclusive-vectorfog-attic-fogger.

According to the Miami Mold Specialists website, "By utilizing cold fusion and AirBiotics cleaning solutions, your attic's air quality will be restored and the temperature will decrease significantly. The fogger uses ULC (ultra-low volume) technology which produces a powerful 8-16 GPH flow rate and it can easily cover an area of 328 square feet in less than 1 minute; this makes it one of the most durable and powerful ULV fogger on the market."

Celebrating Los Angeles Unified School Districts Outstanding Plant Managers

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- California Safe Schools celebrated the outstanding efforts of more than 800 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Plant Managers and their supervisors at four luncheons honoring elementary, middle school, and high school Plant Managers for their exceptional efforts in implementing the most stringent school pesticide policy in the nation for the past 20 years.

The LAUSD Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy embraces the Precautionary Principle, Right to Know, training and communications, and a 15-member committee oversees implementation. As a result of these efforts, Roundup and other highly toxic pesticides, herbicides, and antimicrobials have not been used at LAUSD campuses for two decades. In place of toxic chemicals the district works to prevent infestations though inspections, exclusion (i.e. door sweeps), eliminating clutter, extensive cleaning, and gardening practices that reduce weeds and pests. In addition heat treatment has been the preferred method for eradicating termites, eliminating potential exposure of other toxic chemicals.

"The Los Angeles Unified School District, second largest school district in the nation, spans 28 cities and 710 square miles, with more than 25,000 buildings covering 80 million square feet," said Robina Suwol, founder and executive director of California Safe Schools. "The success of the policy is a result of extremely well trained and committed management, plant managers, pest, and turf and landscape management experts. celebrating our plant managers for all of their tremendous work was long overdue given their tireless efforts to make our schools safe for all."

The guests enthusiastically received Douglas Anderson, Area Facilities Director and Master of Ceremonies for the event. Between introducing the Los Angeles Unified Maintenance & Operations Management, Chief Facilities Executive Mark Hovatter, Director of Facilities, Roger Finstad, Angelita Khazei, Deputy Director, Adriana Salazar of the Teamsters, and Robina Suwol Executive Director of California Safe Schools, he energized the crowd with trivia questions, and distributed honors and prizes.

While all Plant Managers were praised, LAUSD supervisors selected Plant Managers whom excelled and represented their colleagues to receive awards from California Safe Schools, designed by celebrated artist Michael Bruza, for their 20 years of achievements, and commendations from Mayor Eric Garcetti, Assemblyman Adrin Nazarrian and Senator Robert Hertzberg. In addition to these honorees, each and every Plant Manager received a special commendation.

Additional guest speakers expressing thanks and congratulations include: Brian Gavidia from the Office of Mayor Garcetti; Jacqueline Lawson, Los Angeles City Attorney; Dr. Alfonzo C. Webb, II and Maryhelen Torres of Local District East; and Min Wang of Republic Services. All expressed their desire to make this an annual event.

"For twenty years, LAUSD has implemented one of the most stringent, collaborative and effective school IPM programs in the nation, one that has become a model for the state and the nation. This has only been possible because of the daily efforts and dedication of our Plant Managers. They have ensured the success of this program and we salute their tireless efforts to protect LAUSD students and staff," added Douglas Anderson, Los Angeles Unified Area Facilities Director.

Dr. Cathie Ann Lippman, celebrated physician from the Lippman Center for Optimal Health, joined in the praises. "A clean environment is imperative for good health. Congratulations to all of the exceptional Los Angeles Unified School District Plant Managers and staff for their commitment to groundbreaking environmental policies and protocols that ensure vulnerable students and staff are protected."

"It is important to take the time to honor and give thanks to those who are literally the gate keepers of our schools. Hats off and double high fives to each and every Plant Manager who takes on the often-complicated task of navigating a day in the life of a school. I thank you as a parent, and on behalf of the children who are our future!" underscored Kristina L. Jasiukonis, Los Angeles Unified School District parent.

Teamsters, Republic Services, Galpin Motors, South Coast Air Quality Management District, California Endowment, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Global Environmental, Inc., NATEC International, Inc. Anderson Trophy, and Farm Table

About California Safe Schools (CSS):
CSS is a children's environmental health and environmental justice coalition founded in 1998. CSS was formed after its founder's child was accidently sprayed with pesticides on his way into an LAUSD elementary school by a LAUSD gardener on, a pivotal event that catalyzed LAUSD's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Policy formation. The success of the policy led to the California Healthy Schools Act 2000, and AB405 (Montanez), sponsored by California Safe Schools, which bans the use of experimental, conditional, or phased out products at all California K-12 public schools.

Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools partners with Energy Optimizers, USA, to become first school district in Ohio with all LED lighting retrofits

TIPP CITY, Ohio, July 15, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Through its partnership with energy services firm Energy Optimizers, USA, Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools has become the first school district in Ohio to retrofit all interior and exterior lighting to LED.

LED lighting is valued for its efficiency and long life, which reduces both utility and maintenance costs. The new LED components will provide an average 60 percent reduction in energy use compared with the systems being replaced, which include fluorescent, halogen, incandescent and metal halide lighting systems. The energy savings will be complemented by a significant reduction in maintenance costs, noted Doug Trimbach, vice president of lighting services for Energy Optimizers, USA.

"The interior LED lighting systems have a performance life twice that of the fluorescent systems they are replacing, and the exterior LED components have a performance life four times that of the units they are replacing," said Trimbach. "That translates into fewer replacement parts being purchased, and it also means the maintenance staff can concentrate on other areas of operation."

Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools made the transition to an all-LED school as part of a $1.8 million energy conservation project that is expected to generate at least $222,382 in savings annually. The project also includes replacing some aging boilers and chillers with more energy efficient equipment, adding energy- saving features to the kitchens, and enhancing the buildings' temperature controls. The district expects to see a payback on these improvements in less than 10 years.

"We launched this project because we are committed to making the best, most cost-effective use of tax dollars possible," said Superintendent Dr. Keith St. Pierre. "Moving to all-LED lighting made sense. We wanted to take a proactive approach to energy savings and put in place the latest technology, rather than continue to rely on lighting systems that are-or will soon be-obsolete."

Funding for the project is provided through the Ohio School Facilities Commission's House Bill 264 (HB264) program, enabling the district to make these cost-cutting improvements at no expense to taxpayers. Under the HB 264 program, the energy savings cover the cost of the financing used to fund the projects.

"This is a very substantial and concrete commitment by the district's school board and administration to the students and taxpayers of their community," said State Representative Richard Perales. "The district will be positioned for both immediate and long-term financial savings, all of which will benefit the students and, by extension, taxpayers."

"I'm proud to represent such a forward-thinking district," Perales added. "It is innovative solutions like these that make our region stand out."

While the all-LED lighting will pay for itself through reduced utility and maintenance costs, it will also yield attractive energy rebates. With the assistance of Energy Optimizers, USA, the district obtained DRG3 Green Business Certification on seven of its buildings in April. The certification will increase the standard DP&L energy conservation rebates by up to 150 percent and earn the district additional rebates through DP&L, netting a significant savings. The rebates, combined with Energy Optimizers, USA's ability to purchase LED lighting at factory direct pricing, brought the project in line with the district's budget.

"This project will net Bellbrook-Sugarcreek some of the best rebates available in Ohio," said Trimbach. "This is a great head start on the yearly savings this district will see thanks to its smart approach to energy conservation."
