When selecting a pesticide product for green service, what should be prioritized?

Prioritizing products that pose the lowest risk is essential when selecting a pesticide for green services. This approach aligns with sustainable practices and an emphasis on environmental health, human safety, and the well-being of non-target organisms such as beneficial insects and wildlife. Low-risk products typically have a reduced potential for adverse effects on the ecosystem and humans. Choosing such products reflects a commitment to integrated pest management strategies, which seek to minimize chemical use and enhance environmental responsibility.

Cost-effectiveness, popularity, and brand reputation, while they may influence a decision, do not inherently guarantee safety or sustainability. A product could be popular or cost-effective but still carry significant risks to health or the environment. Thus, prioritizing low-risk products ensures that the choice made will be the most responsible and aligned with green service principles.
