Press Release Body: Melbourne Pest Control Company Recognized by National
Magazine for Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

October 14, 2008
Melbourne, Florida

Slug-A-Bug, Inc, a termite, pest and lawn care company located in Melbourne was
recognized recently by Pest Management Professional Magazine, a national Industry
publication, for it's commitment to reducing the amount of pesticide risk in the
environment.

While most other pest control companies are focused on getting rid of problem pests
the same old way, with standard low impact pesticides, Slug-A-Bug was acknowledged
for their innovative work in developing environmentally responsible "green" program
options.

Slug-A-Bug sees their primary role as a protector of the environment. "We offer our
customers innovative, sound and environmentally responsible alternatives along with
standard IPM pest control treatments, as needed." according to Steve Lum, company
president.

The Company takes its environmental stewardship quite seriously, and has been moving
toward a greener philosophy in its operations for quite some time.

Slug-A-Bug offers its customers three program options: Slug-A-Bug's All Green
Program - 100% organic products (with this program, acceptable pest tolerance levels
are necessary); The Green-1st Program - 100% organic products with the use of
low-impact materials as a back-up, if necessary, with customer consent; Slug-A-Bug's
IPM Program - An Integrated Pest Management Program using low-impact materials
judiciously, if and when appropriate.

All programs include: Conducting thorough inspections; Making sanitation
recommendations; Excluding pests before they enter; Using mechanical controls; Using
cultural controls, such as making recommendations like keeping tree limbs and
shrubbery away from structures; Using biological controls, and finally a
comprehensive customer education and communication program.

Slug-A-Bug's commitment to preserving the environment doesn't end with their
innovative treatment programs. They are also personally dedicated to reducing paper
use and paper recycling, participating in energy efficient programs - such as GPS
monitoring, increasing fuel efficiency through routing programs and the purchase of
more fuel efficient vehicles.

Slug-A-Bug hopes that the example that they are setting, with their commitment to
environmental stewardship, will encourage other companies to follow in their
footsteps.
