Seasoned pest management professionals (PMPs) and rookie technicians alike pride themselves on the quality of their flashlights. Thankfully, there are quality flashlights available on the market from a variety of sources, including battery and rechargeable types. Even the most frugal professional can get a really bright flashlight for less than $10 these days that puts the old-fashioned, $1.99 double D-cell light to shame, even as a backup.

Much has been said recently about the pest management industry going green. In fact, a national meeting was recently held in Colorado to discuss the issue. There seems to be a sense of urgency to the discussion of environmental responsibility, and a clamoring for the industry to wrap its arms around the entire thing.
