Welcome to the cleaner and non-toxic future of pest control. My name is Stephen Tvedten; I am an author and an acclaimed integrated pest management (IPM) expert. I have patented and documented the use of enzyme-based compounds for nontoxic biological control of insects and arachnids. In searching for alternative and effective pest control strategies, my manual on enzyme-based compounds is suited for the environmentally conscious person.

I have written a reference-based manual in the field of nontoxic pest control. The free manual called “The Best Pest Control 2” will provide you with resources to encourage the spread of safe alternatives to chemical poisons, and thus reduce contaminations to ourselves and the environment. I urge you to read The Best Pest Control 2 and make a positive impact on our environment when deciding what methods to use to eliminate pests. Please feel free to download my manual.

As you step through “my doorway” into the incredible new world of true Integrated Pest Management (IPM), you will soon realize that it is very obvious the best, simplest, safest and only permanent pest control does not use any synthetic pesticide poisons and in effect is very cost effective. That is why the traditional pest control industry does not and cannot really be expected to utilize true IPM techniques; there is no real way to charge for this type of permanent control, and most importantly, these techniques will put most typical poison applicators permanently out of business. — Stephen Leonard Tvedten

Disclaimer:
This manual is written for your information and benefit. Call me Ishmael and let us call this a work of fiction. All of the Author’s research, records, files, books, articles, references were totally destroyed in an “accidental” fire on 11/5/95. Therefore, many quotes, notations and/or figures in this lifetime work may not be easily referenced. In many depositions given regarding “registered” pesticide poison contamination and dangers, the Author has freely admitted to not being a certified industrial hygienist or graduate physician, toxicologist, epidemologist, chemist, pharmacist or scientist. The amazing thing is, even being so “ignorant,” the Author can see the problems with “registered” poisons. This manual is not intended to prescribe medical or veterinary treatments and cannot replace the advice of a health care professional. If you have a medical condition - be sure to consult your physician or veterinarian for medical advice. Always test spray/wash a small area before doing total treatment or application. All of the alternatives herein have been given only as general use suggestions to replace pesticide poisons. If in doubt, always use the safest method possible, including leaving the problem or situation alone. There is virtually nothing on this earth that cannot be misused or will not irritate someone. The Author makes no specific recommendation for any individual situation or person. Unattributed opinions are probably the Author’s. The Author and the Publisher assume no responsibility for misadventures related to the use of products and/or procedures mentioned herein. As a work of this magnitude is compiled and written on a kitchen table, mistakes, typographical errors and the like are bound to happen. The Author freely admits this work may contain some misspellings, errors, misconceptions, unsubstantiated, prejudiced, antiquated and/or fraudulent data. This work is intended only to show what brought the Author to discard all use of volatile pesticide poisons after 35 years of pest control work and to find, discover, research, field test, invent and/or try alternative pest control methods that are safer, more effective and less expensive than “traditional poison controls.” The Author has field tested these alternatives in groves, fields, orchards, farms, lawns, hospitals, restaurants, stores, factories, gardens, homes, nursing homes, offices and in over 350 schools, inside and outside, and has virtually eliminated all the pests in all these buildings/areas without ever using volatile pesticide poisons. If even 1% of the enclosed pesticide problems and statistics about “registered” pesticide poisons are true, it makes no sense to continue to use them, but the real proof of the accuracy of this manual is not in poison statistics, but in the fact that the Author’s safer methods actually control pests better than “registered” pesticide poisons do.

The statements, techniques and/or opinions in this manual have not been evaluated by the EPA or the FDA.
This manual is not intended to treat, diagnose or prevent disease, or to sell or recommend nontoxic pest control services or products.
